These apps and shows won’t make you cringe.
| A roundup of new guidance and stories from NYT Parenting. |
“We’re in the midst of something that no one alive has really experienced before,” Dr. Sean O’Leary, M.D., an executive member of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Committee on Infectious Diseases, told me earlier this week. There’s no handbook for parenting during a pandemic, and we’re all doing our best to adapt to our new circumstances: Our kids may be out of school for weeks, travel is not happening for the foreseeable future and our most intimate interactions will change. |
One thing that we all accept is going to change: the amount of screen time our kids will get. “I think, for better or worse, what’s going to happen is the limits on device time are going out the window,” Dr. O’Leary said. As a pediatrician, he knows that extended screen time is not ideal, but he also knows that it’s the reality of all our lives right now. |
Finally, we all need some stress relief right now. So, if you’re craving a little levity, read this hilarious roundup of the rudest things kids have said to parents. I think my favorite is the 4-year-old who said to his mom, “Your hair is weird every day but you never care!” I get appearance-related insults from my kids almost daily. |
We’d love to hear from you about how you’re managing under our new normal. Drop us a line here. And we have more new stories below from NYT Parenting. |

| Parenting can be a grind. Let’s celebrate the tiny victories. |
| After meals, my 1-year-old watches birds come to the feeder at the kitchen window from his high chair, excitedly shouting, “Burp!” (his version of “bird”) and pointing whenever he sees one. This keeps him occupied long enough for me to clean up. — Rebekah Slonim, West Lafayette, Ind. |
