My 4-year-old gently brushes my hair for 30 minutes while I enjoy a cup of coffee.” Continue reading the main story ADVERTISEMENT But at this point in the pandemic, I’m recommending we start cataloging Tiny Victories for ourselves. I did not leave the house for 72 hours this week, and when I finally did go outside for a run yesterday morning, I felt like a hero. I don’t mean to brag, but I have also been showering before noon every day. Susan Dominus, a staff writer for The New York Times Magazine, discovered a genre of video she calls “good-vibe” TikToks, which she hopes will get her through the looming quarantined winter with her 14-year-old twin boys. I’d classify that as an adult Tiny Victory for sure. Also new this week: Christina Caron talks to families about how they’re re-mixing family traditions to keep everyone healthy during the holidays. Jenny Marder looks into whether it’s safe for kids to play indoor sports this winter. Ariella Cook-Shonkoff explains how parents can tame the stressors related to climate change. Patricia Cohen has a piece about how this is the first recession where the economy is deeply intertwined with the failed network of child care in the U.S. Finally, are you a medical professional who has been treating patients with coronavirus? I want to interview you for a future newsletter about your experiences parenting and working during this difficult year. If you’re interested, drop me a line here.
