UNLABELLED: Unexpected changes brought about by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have affected humans worldwide. This review attempts to address major parental concerns about the development of preschool-aged children during the pandemic from the perspectives of neuropsychology, consultation, and motor development for preschoolers aged 2-5 years. METHODS: A total of 273 articles including original data, review articles, national and regional perspectives, government websites, and commentaries were considered in this review, of which 117 manuscripts were excluded because they were unrelated to children, adolescents, or COVID -19 pandemic/upper respiratory infections. A total of 156 manuscripts were included after reading the abstract and entire article. RESULTS: Telehealth could be an effective tool for addressing cognitive and emotional challenges that arise during the pandemic. Online consultations are highlighted for nutritional guidelines and to overcome problems that parents face when caring for children in difficult times. Outdoor activities using sanitisers, proper cleanliness, and following standard operating procedures are recommended. Parental preoccupation with media should be avoided. Many preschoolers show delays in reaching their developmental milestones, and the pandemic has increased parents' concerns, as access to practitioners is limited. Therefore, parents should be encouraged to undergo neuropsychological consultations whenever necessary. This study emphasises important strategies to ensure that children's development is minimally affected while staying in the confined environment of their homes. This study serves as a new guide for parents, as they raise young children in the new normal. Parents should undergo basic yearly physical, neuropsychological, nutritional, and speech checkups.
未标注:2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)带来的意外变化已影响到全球人类。本综述试图从神经心理学、咨询以及2至5岁学龄前儿童运动发育的角度,解决疫情期间家长对学龄前儿童发育的主要担忧。 方法:本综述共纳入273篇文章,包括原始数据、综述文章、国家和地区视角、政府网站及评论文章,其中117篇手稿因与儿童、青少年或COVID-19大流行/上呼吸道感染无关而被排除。阅读摘要和全文后,共纳入156篇手稿。 结果:远程医疗可能是应对疫情期间出现的认知和情感挑战的有效工具。在线咨询在营养指南方面得到强调,并有助于克服家长在困难时期照顾孩子时面临的问题。建议进行使用消毒剂的户外活动、保持适当清洁并遵循标准操作程序。应避免家长过度关注媒体。许多学龄前儿童在达到发育里程碑方面出现延迟,疫情增加了家长的担忧,因为与从业者的接触有限。因此,应鼓励家长在必要时接受神经心理学咨询。本研究强调了重要策略,以确保儿童在居家封闭环境中时其发育受到的影响最小。本研究为家长在新常态下养育幼儿提供了新的指导。家长应每年进行基本的身体、神经心理学、营养和言语检查。
