Aislamiento forzado : Incidencia del confinamiento por Covid-19 en la socialización en el niño.

Abstract

The present research’s aim was to investigate how forced isolation, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, impacted the socialization process in children, since being isolated meant that they could not attend school or carry out activities outside their homes, causing them not to experience the first interactions with their peers, which generated long-term effects on them. The repercussions of forced isolation due to the pandemic caused by Covid-19 in the child population were characterized, the socialization process in children from four to six years of age was described and the aspects of isolation by Covid-19 that affected the process of socialization in children. This was done by using a descriptive method, as well as interviews with clinical and general psychologists, who, within the interviews conducted, mentioned that both the family and the school facilitate the socialization process in children, highlighting that family plays a key role. Likewise, it was mentioned that there are parents who do not promote social development and resort to technology, instead of providing optimal stimulation, which has a direct impact on their emotions, behaviors, and social skills. After the research in bibliographic sources and the interviews, it was possible to conclude that the confinement measures and restrictions had a negative impact on the social, emotional and cognitive development of children.
