摘要:In an effort to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, various public health measures have beenimplemented worldwide.In most countries, preschools and kindergartens closed down,visiting playgrounds and other public spaces was prohibited, and social-distancing was enforced.These measures resulted in severe changes in the day-to-day lives of children in agegroups 3 to 8, with social interactions being limited almost exclusively to the immediatefamily. We present a commentary to explore the potential role of technology and governmentin promoting social-emotional learning during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. A focuson technology that promotes appropriate social and physical experiences for young children isnecessary, and we hope that our thoughts and selected examples can provide new insights forkey stakeholders.
