Miss Christy's TIP of the Week: The Coronavirus Family Impact Project shares that approximately 23% of children were rated by their parents as experiencing psychosocial impairment during March to June 2020. Pandemic Parenting is a collaboration between two psychologists, scholars, and moms committed to sharing their expertise and research in ways that are immediately accessible and useful to families. As psychologists, professors, and researchers, we spend much of our time studying how negative experiences impact children and the many ways children communicate their needs and emotions. And as moms, we are struggling right along with all of you to figure out how to adequately meet our children’s needs in the midst of a global pandemic. We cope by doing what we know how to do best — conducting research. We each spent the spring and summer of 2020 gathering data on how COVID-19 is impacting hundreds of families in the U.S. and Canada. As we enter another potential wave of remote learning, quarantine, and continued uncertainty, we felt it important that we share the preliminary findings from our research to help families now. We created Pandemic Parenting to provide a platform where we and other experts can share science-based knowledge, experience, and resources. Our goal is to build a supportive, informed community for all who care for or work with children and seek information about how to make the tough decisions ahead while coping with pandemic-related stress.

On a lighter note....Classics for the Pandemic from Gerry Brooks.
