Nowadays, most children attend supplementary classes. This research attempts to review and summarize the results of 14 international studies on the influence of music lessons on children aged 5-12. The paper considers the influence of music lessons on the development of regulatory functions and language abilities. The authors conclude that music lessons have a significant influence on the regulatory functions of children, especially on inhibition and working memory. The relationship between language and music classes highlighted in numerous studies are discussed. With prolonged daily music lessons, children can develop vocabulary and phonological awareness.
The analytical review focuses on factors affecting the development of children during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of 14 studies from 2020 to 2022 are systematized. The generalization of their results expands and clarifies the understanding of the relationship between the development process of preschool children with factors of relations between children and parents, the stress situation, forced isolation during a pandemic. The analyzed studies indicate that the stress level of parents and their perception of a stressful situation simultaneously affect the child’s perception of parents and the relationship with him. Empirical evidence has been systematized in favor of children attending kindergartens, educational centers, or taking help from other relatives as positively telling on their social development motor activity and comfortable family climate. It is emphasized that during the pandemic, the amount of screen time among younger schoolchildren has significantly increased.
