A few months ago, @SciFleur wrote an amazing piece about how to play with dino-crazy kids. But it was missing something: A ranking of which #dinosaurs would win in a fight. After months of waiting, I give you DINOSAUR BATTLE ROYALE! @NYTParenting nytimes.com/2020/10/12/paren…

Tired of politics? Prefer to play with your kid's brain instead? This was a labor of love for me and @deannadonegan - finding cognitive scientists willing to run classic tests on their own kids. Enjoy! @NYTParenting nytimes.com/2020/09/21/paren…

"We're all tapping into our inner Ms. Frizzle. Ms. Frizzle is unflappable, and she manages to keep up our spirits." ❤️ Thanks @NYTParenting for this incredible article about the power of Ms. Frizzle during this time of remote learning! nyti.ms/31LJL0F

A choir teacher who spent $2,000 to make his classroom safe. A preschool teacher worried her students will be afraid of her wearing a face mask and shield. Wooden cubicles separating desks. This is what America’s classrooms look like in the Covid-era. nytimes.com/2020/08/27/educa…

In my latest for @NYTParenting, I wrote about what the pandemic is doing to parents' relationships — to my relationship — and how it has become even more difficult to manage relationship stress, separation, and/or divorce. nytimes.com/2020/08/26/paren…

Is anybody ready for the start of school? @ameliaivance recently spoke with @NYTparenting’s @cdcaron about how to protect student and family privacy during #RemoteLearning this fall. Read the piece here: nyti.ms/3giYkwz
How is homeschooling different from distance learning? Why was there an increase in parents homeschooling even before the pandemic? What will those numbers look like now? This interesting article by @NYTParenting covers it all! nytimes.com/2020/08/18/paren…

Parents are in crisis. We asked 1,081 of them how they're coping with this school year, and the answers are alarming. The vast majority plan to care for and educate their kids without any significant in-person help -- while they're also holding down jobs: nytimes.com/2020/08/19/upsho…

New for @NYTParenting: How to praise your child. As with discipline, some methods are more effective than others. I spoke with several experts to learn how to move beyond "Good job!" and "You're so smart!" (Though you can say either to me in your replies.) nytimes.com/2020/08/13/paren…

You're neurologically wired to respond when a child-- any child!-- cries. What you do with that response can mean a world of difference to both you and the child! Check out @NYTParenting's latest: nyti.ms/3fPA0m2

"If you’re concerned that remote learning may have set your child back academically, brace yourself: It probably has." @hollyburns writes the story we all know is true but don't want to read. Read it, the situation's not as bad as you fear. nytimes.com/2020/07/30/paren… @NYTParenting.

Excellent piece by @PoojaLakshmin in @NYTParenting reviewing ACT strategies that #parents can use to manage their (very understandable) back-to-school #anxiety. #CBTworks nytimes.com/2020/07/29/paren…

My latest for @NYTParenting. Certainty is a fallacy. Conflicted feelings are the norm. The truth is that nothing about back to school feels “ok” right now. We shouldn’t expect it to. I share how to handle the anxiety+fear+guilt that every parent is facing. nytimes.com/2020/07/29/paren…

Every parent I know is worried about the same thing: without "normal" school, is my child going to fall behind? I dug into it for @NYTParenting (and felt slightly relieved by the answer). Thanks to @erikvance for stellar guidance and editing! nytimes.com/2020/07/30/paren…

For dance students, the annual recital is the biggest event of the year. Whether in parks or in parking lots, some studios are determined to make it happen in a pandemic year. nyti.ms/30dmu5F
