So many Idaho famliies are trying to adapt to a new normal during the coronavirus outbreak. Staying healthy and maintaining social distancing standards are essential. But what about the added pressures for families who now are juggling work, school and family life all under one roof?
Dr. GG Weisenfeld is an assistant research professor at the National Institute for Early Education Research and joins Idaho Matters to share insights in managing this new course load.
As COVID-19 cases spread through the U.S. and Idaho, we’re committed to keeping you updated and informed. You can get updated info on cases, closures and how to stay healthy at any time on our Coronavirus news blog.
Idaho Matters is working on a story about how families are dealing with school closures during the coronavirus outbreak. Parents: What do your days look like now? Are you creating structure, or are you letting your kids have an extended spring break? Kids: What do you like about being at home, and what do you miss about school and being with your friends? Using your smartphone, please send us a voice memo with your family. Tell us about your daily routine, or about what your’e doing to stay distracted or learning. Send the voice memo to idahomatters@boisestate.edu. We might use your message in an upcoming show.
