Children’s Social Competence Learning Strategies for Building Mental Health During Covid-19
Abstract
The corona virus pandemic has a huge impact on the mental health of children. Social competency for children is the extent to which children are effective in their social interactions with others, including creating and maintaining social relationships, showing cooperative skills and flexibility, and adjusting behaviours to meet the demands of different social contexts. This study aims to shed light on how strategies can be used to build a child’s social competence in a pandemic- and post-pandemic world. The solutions used for strategies to build children’s social competence are with a wide range of solutions, including: 1) a systemic approach, 2) building positive relationships, 3) creating a supportive environment.
