Abstract
The world is faced with disasters caused by natural or human effects
from time to time. The various political, economic, health, and social
consequences of these disasters affect people for different periods of
time. In natural disasters and especially in epidemic diseases, some
measures are taken to protect people from the negative effects of the
situation. One of the measures that can be taken is quarantine. The
target audience of this study is children aged 5-6 in early childhood.
Children of this age group are in the process of gaining skills in
expressing their feelings during this period. In addition, the emotional
responses of these children can be noticed by a careful observer or even
an expert. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the risks of the impacts
of quarantine status related to the COVID-19 pandemic on cognition and
behavior of children staying at home.
