摘要：The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) caused a lot of impact on human’s life since its existence in December 2019. The pandemic had led to the closure of the borders, the launch of movement control orders in different countries, the temporary shutdown of schools and businesses. The efforts intended to stop the spread of the virus have unintentionally changed the course of the social, economic and political directions in human lifestyles. One of the significant consequences that happen in human’s life is the disruptions of psychosocial and mental health development of our youngsters. The review of various development theories strongly suggested potential disruptions in the formation of self-identities, social skills and delayed cognitive growth. A review of research studies suggested poor mental health in children and adolescents due to changes in daily routines and sleep qualities, excessive use of social media and electronic gadgets and high parental stress. The unavailability of support services by the schools and communities as well as deprivation of social support by extended family members and friends increased negative emotions in children and adolescents. This article review aims to discuss the gap of development based on chosen development theories, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the suggestion of solutions on the psychosocial development and mental health well-being among children and adolescents. In summary, even the Covid-19 virus highly affects our youngsters' well-being, however, there is always hope in contributing solutions to weaken the impact.
