Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary! Distant but togetherHappy Anniversary!

This week, I was trying to figure out a topic to write about, and it occurred to me that I am writing this on the “anniversary” of when I started to really understand that life was about to significantly change…and almost stop. [Read more…] about Happy Anniversary!

Parenting in the Age of COVID

Parenting in the age of COVIDAnother early dismissal?  Another snow day?  I think that we can all admit we are exhausted by winter and COVID, but it may be hard to admit that we are exhausted by parenting too.  Well, I am going to put it out there.  I feel like my parenting reserves are severely depleted these days.  This means that I have less patience, I am crankier, and I have a lower threshold for the day-to-day at home.

Normally, even when our parenting skills are entirely depleted, we might depend on a friend or family member to give us a respite.  The reality of COVID is that there isn’t really a respite.  When you and your partner argue over who gets to go to the grocery store, you know you have hit a new low.  Prior to COVID, I would say “ugh, there is a line at Trader Joe’s”.  Now, I am thinking, “I hope the line is pretty long so that I can have a little alone time while waiting in line.”  Being a parent is already difficult, but these days, it seems like we are on a reality show of “Survivor, Parent Edition”.

 Even school is not a respite since they don’t quite seem to be in school (either in-person or virtual) with the weather these days.  The irony is that I have a hard time not taking it all on myself.  I tend to fall on my sword a bit.  My husband always offers to watch the kids so I can have time for myself, and I just can’t seem to take it or use it effectively.  It is hard to take that time when there really is nowhere to go.  I can’t seem to shut it off even though I know I need it.

Hitting The COVID-19 Second Wall

by Dr. Meredith Renda     

As I sit at the computer trying to decide on a Valentine’s gift for my kids/husband, it occurs to me that I haven’t been to the mall in a year,  I haven’t eaten in a restaurant, and I haven’t hugged my parents in 11 months.  I am both shocked by and defeated by this realization.  Time during this last year seems to have both sped up and stood still.

Less Screen Time and More Play Time!

Winter playtime

Screen Time vs. Play Time

Technology is an ever-evolving intricate part of our lives, especially our children’s lives. There are always positives and negatives that come out of advancing technology. One of the negative impacts is the amount of time that children spend on screens. Screen time is taking over “free” playtime for many children.
