Abstract

        The coronavirus disease epidemic situation in 2019 affects people of all ages, especially in early childhood as they need to learn things around them in order to enhance their progress appropriately. To avoid infection during the epidemic situation, children have to change their behaviors in school and daily life to comply with the social distancing measures. These changes in behaviors can have an impact on their physical, mental, emotional, and social health, and could result in the health problems in the future such as obesity, the risk of NCDs, sleeping difficulties, problematic internet use, depression, physical performance problem, and learning problem. Nurses, therefore, play a significant role in enhancing the health of children by encouraging families and communities to have the knowledge and participate in supporting child health in terms of physical, mental, emotional, and social health to avoid potential consequences in the future.
