This pandemic has caused children of all ages to be home with families.  There can be a little silver lining of getting quality time as a family away from hectic schedules.  However, the pandemic may also come with difficult stresses and questions including sick family members, job loss, child care, how to keep young children occupied, how to discuss this with children, how to keep older children connected to their school and friends, and more.  Explore the resources in the following sections:

​

  • Parents of Teens

  • Parents of College Students

  • Podcasts (See NEW Parent Trapped and HappiNest)
