When the world is turned upside down and it feels like the sky is falling, many parents may resort to Pollyannaism or try to sugarcoat a lousy situation in an attempt to protect their kids from life's harsh realities.

New research (Waters et al., 2020) suggests that overtly suppressing parental emotions in an attempt to protect children from emotional distress may backfire. "[Our] findings reveal that parents' emotion regulation efforts impact parent-child stress transmission and compromise interaction quality," the authors said.

These findings were published on April 23 in the Journal of Family Psychology. Sara Waters of Washington State University led this research and is the paper's first author.

Parenting Expectations vs Reality: COVID-19 Edition
It’s been almost two months since the world was upended due to the coronavirus (COVID-19), the new viral strain that can lead to serious and fatal health complications. I was told to start working from home, that I couldn’t go anywhere and that my son would be homeschooled with (you guessed it) me as his teacher. One day I was wandering around TJMaxx, the next I was locked down for who knows how long.

I had to write this in honor of upcoming Mother's Day.  However the concept fits for all of our close relationships.  Particularly now when we are SO CLOSE with our CLOSE ONES.  While quarantining in our pods  there is practically no separation as parents are with their kids all day; partners with each other all day; lots of togetherness!

If You Were Wrong about a Core Belief, Would You Admit It?
Suppose you had a core belief that you had assumed to be true and defended all of your adult life – and then you came to realize you were wrong? And suppose further that your belief had implications not just intellectually, for your belief system, but for enormously consequential decisions you made that affected your life and a child’s life?

Homeschooling driving you crazy? Turn Chores into Lessons
When my children were of school age and I made extended overseas trips each year, they travelled with me, often being out of school for as long as two months at a time. At first, I would try to follow the prescribed curriculum sent home by their teachers, but I soon realized that it was neither practical nor necessary to hand my child sheets to fill in or have them read books about things they weren’t experiencing.

Six Reasons To Know About Your Kids’ 9 hours of Screen Time
Imagine a world where your kids are spending nine hours a day meditating, that it’s the newest thing among teens and preteens. Given that kids spend 7 hours per day at school, need a minimum of 8 hours of sleep, it only leaves 9 hours in a day-all of which is spent meditating.  In this imaginary world, some adults are also mediating as regularly, but they are not affected the same way as kids.

So, You Want to be Perfect.
When Sandy was eight-years-old, she attended a performance of “The Nutcracker.” After that she decided she would be a ballerina. As she grew older, she set a very high bar regarding her performances and would not accept anything less. Sandy sacrifices a great deal as a young adult woman in pursuit of attaining her goal of excellence. Despite her family encouraging her to be “less driven,” she holds firm to her conviction and continues to strive to be an outstanding dancer.

Teaching Kids to Care, Not Stare When They See Someone With a Disability
As a parent to my 17-year-old daughter and a disability advocate, I have had the opportunity to speak to many types of groups — many of them with an audience of primarily women and/or moms. I have had a question come up repeatedly from mothers of typically developing children that I feel is so very valuable, and the subject needs to be brought to the surface.

For Anyone Who Needs to Hear This: It's OK to Just Exist Right Now
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, social distancing and quarantines have become increasingly crucial, resulting in many of us being confined to our homes. During this time, we might be tempted to feel guilty and anxious about not being productive enough. Inner critics may sneakily but consistently tell us we’d be better off doing something else other than what we’re doing right now.

How Can we Help Parents Quarantined with Autistic Children?
Families are experiencing an unprecedented interruption in educational and therapeutic services for children with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental delays. Teachers and therapists, of course, have the training and resources but most parents do not. In addition, many parents are trying to work remotely from home, taking care of other children or family members in their household, and managing the chaos of day-to-day life at home. This can be an overwhelming undertaking.

How Can I Help My Teen During A Panic Attack?
Panic attacks are scary to experience and scary to observe. Far more extreme than feeling “panicky,” a real panic attack is when someone experiences sudden, intense physical symptoms — racing heart, sweating, shaking, dizziness, shortness of breath, nausea. The individual interprets these symptoms to mean something is terribly wrong. People often believe they’re dying, or “going crazy.” It is not uncommon for people to go to the emergency room for fear they are having a heart attack, or another medical emergency.

A Coronavirus Baby Boom: Myth or Reality?
As shelter-in-place orders have been in effect for several weeks, there has been considerable speculation that a “coronavirus baby boom” may emerge nine months later.1 A hypothetical “corona baby” cohort would grow up to be “quaran-teens” and have the unique collective experience of being conceived during an infamous pandemic. The idea of couples resorting to sexual activity under circumstances that confine them to close quarters and impose limitations on other activities is an alluring one, but is this a realistic speculation? Will we see a baby boom or a baby bust?

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. Research demonstrates that parents tend to avoid talking to their children about death until forced to by the death of a specific person in the child’s life. It makes sense that parents tend to do this – death is an uncomfortable topic.

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? I don't hear this concern voiced by fathers. Second, why does fear seem contagious? It's like something the kids won't catch if they don't know about mom having it, but will get infected by it if they do know mom has it.

The Light Through Postpartum Isolation
The coronavirus pandemic is making clear that many of the ways of living we considered normal and never second-guessed were not really serving us. It has been known to maternal mental health professionals for a long time that our modern family and social structures leave parents disconnected and without enough support. This puts way too much pressure on immediate caregivers alone, increasing feelings of loneliness and stress and thereby increasing the risk of developing postpartum symptoms. Sheltering in place is profoundly underscoring this unfortunate reality.
