Parenting During a Pandemic: A Guide (www.theatlantic.com)

Christine Cissy White 4/9/2011:04 AM

Excerpts from a piece by Guide, published by CAROLINE MIMBS NYCE in the Atlantic Daily newsletter:

Parents: It’s okay.
It’s okay if this crisis is throwing off your parenting style.
Crises tend to do that. Mary Katharine Ham, a writer and CNN commentator, knows firsthand: She lost her spouse, and her identity as a parent, in 2015, while pregnant with their second child.
“The good news is that the parent you are today is not the parent you have to be tomorrow,” she advises. “Your parenting identity is not nearly as intransigent as your pantsless, potty-training toddler."
