The May issue of ParentMap puts a focus on ways families can maintain calm in the face of the uncertainty, isolation and anxiety caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our feature presents parenting and relating strategies that will help our children, our partners and ourselves reclaim steadiness in the chaos.
Also in this month’s issue, we’ve rounded up 15 ways to play in May; some great ideas for celebrating Mom on Mother’s Day (think brunchy bites and sweet DIY gifts the kids can make); super fun eco-learning activities that fit right in your back yard; best ways to cut carbon from your family diet; and terrific bedtime stories sure to transport your little ones to the Land of Nod.
You’ll also meet an inspirational leader who has an important message about citizenship in times of crisis, and a dynamic local youth who is working to transform the health-related food inequities impacting South King County schools.
