Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented profound challenges for families with preschool children (aged 0-4 years), particularly those already in vulnerable conditions, including families facing socio-economic disadvantages or with a migration background. Implementation of lockdowns and social distancing measures led to unhealthier lifestyles for children and mental struggles for parents. While many families may exhibit resilience and adaptability over time, the measures may have a long-term negative impact on vulnerable families.
