Ok, 2020 was rough in one way or another for almost everyone. But there have been surprising joys and learning.

Over 1,300 parents ( 96% mothers) have participated in our pandemic research study since March, sharing their experiences on how COVID has impacted their lives. Although most parents are overwhelmed by pandemic difficulties, many shared the unexpected rewards that have come from this time.

Including: being less stressed, reconnecting with neighbors, growing closer to children or partners, and spending more time with family.

It’s uplifting to see positive rewards come amidst all of the sadness.
