Are Parents Okay?
Jessica Grose, lead editor of the New York Times parenting section, takes calls from listeners struggling to work, parent, and be a person during these extraordinary times.
@BrianLehrer Our 4th grader sees her teacher only about 10-15 minutes a day. We've had to take on teaching her on our own using online resources that we research.

— William Laviano (@williamlaviano) April 23, 2020Please mention us heartbroken grandparents who can’t help our children. We’re healthy, got time, got food, got patience but we CANNOT help out our own kids during this period. In fact we add the burden of them worrying about us and shopping for us. We feel sad and powerless.
