Dr. Anne Fishel, Director and Co-Founder, of the Family Dinner Project shares information on how to help children manage stress and anxiety during the pandemic, using the family meal as an anchor and an important, yet frequently overlooked, foundation for our mental health and stability.
PANDEMIC 2020: OUR STUCK AT HOME GUIDE TO FOOD, FUN AND CONVERSATION
As families everywhere find themselves following stay-at-home advice to help slow the coronavirus pandemic, the need for fresh activity ideas grows. Kids may be engaged in online learning through their schools, parents may still be working (whether at home or on-site), and there are always board games and the usual activities to keep people busy. But there’s a good chance that we’re all going to be staying home for quite a while. And we’d like families to use this time, as much as they can, to enjoy each other’s company. Getting a little closer to our loved ones might be one of the only silver linings of a very stressful and scary situation. So we’re sharing our best ideas here for keeping busy during the pandemic: Our Stuck-At-Home Guide to Food, Fun and Conversation.
