Christina Caron, our NYT Parenting staff reporter, examines why we don’t know more about pregnant women with Covid-19; Neha Chaudhary, M.D., a child psychiatrist, explains how the calming rituals of athletes can be helpful for parents, too; Brendan Borrell talks to parents of children with rare genetic diseases about how they are navigating a path of unknowns; Virginia Sole-Smith considers how summer meal programs meant to feed hungry children are struggling with pandemic-related fallout; and finally, Alyssa Shelasky asks the burning question: “Is Sex Dead for Parents?” As school districts across the U.S. weigh options for reopening public school systems, we want to hear from parents. What are the plans from your district? Do you have questions that you aren’t seeing addressed? Let us know here. Thanks for reading! — Jessica Grose, lead editor, NYT Parenting P.S.
