JUF News: Parent Survival Guide: The perfect antidote to parenting during a pandemic

As an early childhood social worker, I speak to parents daily about the trials and tribulations of raising children during a pandemic. I hear firsthand stories about the creative ways parents are attempting to engage their children in activities that do not involve screen time, unique ways parents are trying to keep grandparents involved and connected, and resourceful strategies parents use to help their children succeed with remote learning. While I too have done all of these things and continue to worry deeply about our children, I am also concerned about us as parents losing pieces of ourselves while trying to make sure our children remain whole.
