For the Atlantic, Joe Pinsker talks with Melissa Mazmanian about the unrealistic societal expectations on working parents. The Washington Post reports on how the pandemic is specifically affecting working moms. And a Wall Street Journal survey found that nearly two-thirds of fathers say they’ve become closer to their kids during this time, which is great for the whole family. Vox breaks down how the child-care crisis in the United States comes down to economics. The Atlantic explains the limited child-care options for parents who are essential workers. And Time Magazine warns that the pandemic has devastated the U.S. child-care industry and that these losses may be difficult to come back from for years to come. For NPR, Sesame Workshop’s Rosemarie Truglio offers some advice on parenting during the pandemic.
