We all are experiencing a lot of unknowns right now in our world. So many of my friends and young moms/dads are stressed and having to figure out the new normal for home right now.

Just think of it:

Kids are home 24/7
Husband/wife home from regular job
Cooking three meals instead of packing lunch, sending out door and having a few minutes to yourself.
Shopping online and delivery services that you used to not use. However, this can be a good thing…I believe many will see how easy it is to incorporate online services. Even in the take-out industry…restaurants that were originally just normal walk in dining areas have seen the ease of take out services.
Lots of changes right? Lots of unknowns right?

So, how is everyone coping with this? Some great, others not so much.
Many feel out of control, feelings of helplessness, nervousness and anxiousness. One of the best things to do right now is to stay plugged in to family, friends, by phone, internet, zoom calls, meetings online, etc.

So, here are a few things that might help the stay at home moms and dads.

1. Creative play rules-chalk drawings on the sidewalk and even fences!
2. Drive by parties where you play I spy! Ex. of teddy bears or Easter bunnies in windows
3. Online slumber parties
4. Cooking with kids
