The situation created by pandemic COVID-19 is uncertain and full of challenges for the population and especially for families with children. The article is written based on the study „ The COVID-19 pandemic impact on the family”, realized within the framework of the project „ The attenuation of the COVID-19 pandemic negative effects on the family „ implemented by the DRC. The applied research method was the sociological semi-structured interview with parents that have children under the age of 18. In the actual circumstances, the respondents have underlined that they experience the gravity of the situation and the essential consequences that started with the pandemic. According to the data of the study, some families face serious fifi nancial difficulties caused by the loss of jobs and decreases in income. The school and kindergartens shut down have produced a series of problems in our country concerning the provision of children with education, safe and qualitative care. The families don’t have all the abilities and necessary resources to adapt to new conditions, but the families have often adopted some strategies to confront the poor situation which didn’t always prove to be appropriate.
