A New Reality for Parents and Children
It’s been nine months since COVID-19 changed our lives dramatically. Our routines, plans, social interactions, work and play lives, travels, health care, family gatherings, shopping…. just about everything has been altered dramatically with no clear end in sight. And this is for individuals who are healthy, much less those who have contracted COVID-19, or have lost family members to the virus. These dramatic changes have affected families, parents and children, those living alone or in health care facilities, workplaces, businesses of all kinds. I think it is safe to say that little, in many places on our planet, has remained unchanged since the onset of the pandemic. This is definitely true of families. Kids staying home and learning virtually. Initially no in-person schools, extracurricular activities, graduations…. Then, beginning this fall, a changing scenario of virtual learning and limited or rotating in-classroom education. This in addition to many parents working from home, curricula being hit and miss initially, and job cuts resulting in diminished income for many families. And much more dire implications for some worldwide.
