The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed the environment in which young children are developing. This article explores the question: How might this reduction in social interactions with peers impact the social development of the youngest children? Social skills rely on a foundation of cognitive and emotional skills that are prerequisites to successful social interactions. Developing social skills takes practice, and children without that practice may need time and experience to catch up. It is imperative that adults, including early childhood education (ECE) program providers, are prepared to support the development of complex social and emotional skills of children living through the pandemic. By intentionally supporting skills for young children in this environment, we can promote meaningful life-long relationships.
