Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked a global catastrophe that has had a detrimental impact on people’s daily lives. Children have suffered as a result of being confined to their homes constantly. Preschoolers in particular are quite active and like attending school and participating in a variety of extracurricular activities. But, because of the corona pandemic lockdown, they are limited to engaging in play and other activities with their parents and siblings. This qualitative study was conducted to find the changes that parents of preschool children felt in their children’s behavior and how they were handling them during this trying time of being confined at home. The objectives of the study were to explore that the preschool children being at home during the time of the pandemic how got changed in their behavior as well as the changes in their routine life, along with this it was also tried to document the ways in which parents are managing them during this pandemic. Interviews were conducted through audio and video calls. The responses were then analysed thematically. The main conclusions emphasised the significance of early childhood education for the development of children’s manners. Young children’s behaviour is greatly influenced by preschools in their daily lives. The kids’ increasing usage of digital media is a result of their extended home absence from school, and their increased hostility is a result of their lack of peers and low social development setting.
