How to be a better parent

No one is ever quite ready; everyone is always caught off guard. Parenthood chooses you. And you open your eyes, look at what you’ve got, say “Oh, my gosh,” and recognize that of all the balls there ever were, this is the one you should not drop. It is not a question of choice.”

THIS IS A DIFFICULT TIME FOR US ALL. UNCERTAINTY AND FEAR ABOUND AND WE WORRY ENDLESSLY ABOUT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE WE LOVE ABOVE ALL OTHERS. OUR CHILDREN. LUCKILY CHILDREN HAVE A LOW RISK OF CONTRACTING COVID-19 AND THEIR SYMPTOMS SEEM TO BE MUCH LESS SEVERE THAN ADULTS IF THEY ARE INFECTED.
