Abstract	What happens at home in the early years of a child's life is not only key to their success in education, but their success in life. A positive early years home learning environment can predict higher levels of vocabulary, spelling and literacy in young children. The home learning environment has an influence on a child's intellectual and social development that is over and above family socio-demographic factors such as parental education, socioeconomic status and income, suggesting that a positive home learning environment has the potential to help children overcome some of the disadvantages of growing up in poverty. COVID-19 has exacerbated factors that can influence the prevalence of parental depression, including economic hardship and job insecurity, and those in low paid or insecure work, who had fewer resources to begin with, have been impacted more. Parenting is influenced by parents' current lives -- it is easier to parent more effectively when social and economic circumstances are favourable and when stress and anxiety are lower. Poor parental mental health can impact on parents' ability to develop a warm, sensitive and nurturing relationship with their child. This has implications for the home learning environment as the process by which children learn to think and understand occurs fundamentally through social interactions with others. This literature review considers the impact of COVID-19 on families, and the implications for the home learning environment. (ERIC).
