Screens are a double-edged sword — perhaps now more than ever.Our children, learning at home amid lockdown orders, need Google Classroom and Zoom and iXL and the like.

Orchestrating and policing this eLearning is a serious concern for half of parents, according to a survey of 3,500 ADDitude readers conducted in early April.

Of equal concern is the amount of “non-academic” device usage sneaking its way into kids’ days; 47.93 percent of parents said they were “very concerned” about screen time gone haywire.One reader said her child’s screen use leads to “fights and depression.” Still, the use of screens is practical and almost essential for many families today: “My kids are spending too much time on their electronic devices, but I need to do

Scared To Death To Talk To Your Kids About Death? Here's Why

One of the realities of living through the coronavirus period is that death is coming ever closer to our social circles.

How Contagious Are My Fears? Will My Kids Get Them From Me?

Countless times, I've heard a mother say she hides her fear of flying from her kids because she doesn't want them to get it. There are some interesting things about this concern. First, why mothers?

Quarantine 2020: It's Okay to Grieve

Here we are, weeks later into quarantine and there is so much that has changed in so little time. In my house, I have a son who is in 8th grade and a daughter in 5th grade. This year marked graduation, special trips and many events to commemorate the completion of one milestone, and the start of the next one. Last week, my daughter shared with me that she felt sad. She was sad that she would not be able to enjoy so many activities that I and a large group of parents started planning in June 2019. She’s sad and I felt sad too. I wanted to make it better for her but realized I couldn’t offer her a consolation prize, or anything else in its place. Nothing.
