New Questions
Parenting has a new stressor that was not anticipated: taking care of your kids in the Coronavirus age. Awareness of COVID-19 only started around a month ago and prior to that time our hands were already full. Now tension has increased as we are faced with new questions.
Facing the Same Problems
As seen in this post on the blog “Manhattan Coronavirus,” even just getting something as basic as food for our kids has become a challenge. In the case of the writer in the article, he tried over 10 methods to get food delivered for his family but none of them worked. Thankfully though, he came up with a solution.
New Doors Needed
As parents we are faced with new virus driven fears and tasks to overcome for our families. How will we find new indoor fun ways for them to play? How will they exercise? How do we assist them with not going stir crazy? What activities and knowledge can we open the doors for them in the virtual world?
Important Now
We are faced with having to wing it with no precedence of other parents having faced the same challenges. We are the first. Hopefully one day this will become a distant memory, but for now it is time to be creative to keep our children safe, healthy and happy.
