CHILDREN
Anger and unhappiness are very common in children because they cannot focus on lessons, cannot meet their friends, and live their lives outside very limited. At this point it is very important to maintain children’s routines. It is important for them at home to create a lesson layout as if they were in school, to organize their sleep hours between recess and even their clothes in such a way that they feel the school routine. It is very important to reset screen times at times outside the course. For this reason, children can play games together and have a pleasant time. In addition, creating spaces where they can coexist with their peers in accordance with pandemic conditions is important for their social development and emotional control.
.
YOUNG PEOPLE
Undoubtedly, one of the groups most affected by this process was young people, especially preparing for university and high school entrance exams. In students in this process, various emotions such as more stress, exam anxiety, despair, anger can very often be seen. Therefore, it is important for parents to understand their feelings; to support them, to realize what they are having trouble with and what they need, rather than to advise them on constant coursework. Creating spaces where children will definitely feel good; in order to control their anxiety, they should use the healing power of physical exercise, music, art, which is very good for stress. It is very important to ensure that children with high exam anxiety receive expert support without wasting time.

ADULTS
In the process, the working times and forms of adults have also changed a lot. Especially for people who have children, both working online and organizing the child’s online education processes and dealing with the needs of the Home create a sense of serious fatigue and burnout. If it can be done at this point, it is important to arrange working hours. Again; listening to music, dancing, painting, watching the movies we want and postpone, creating a book club with our friends will make us feel good and productive. We can add activities such as yoga, Pilates, walking, exercise with music to our physical exercises where we will eliminate all negative emotions.
.
OVER 65
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the group of over-65s has been subject to severe restrictions and disaster scenarios. In the effects of this process on the older age group, consequences such as despair, fear, stress, distraction have been observed. Especially because they are in a serious risk group, being away from their loved ones for a long time, not being able to see their grandchildren, children for a long time, and high restrictions on going out have affected them emotionally. While the emotional burden in this process poses a risk for increasing existing diseases, it has also caused difficulties in memory and attention performance. Taking short walks every day, reducing screen time, engaging in small hobbies reduces the negative effects of the epidemic.
