Unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures.

We understand this better than most. We’ve been doing it since we became parents.

Still, this is different. This is extra. This is terrifying because our loved ones are at a greater risk.

So repeat after me:

• Staying at home for a month or two won’t kill you, this virus is killing thousands.
• Missing a month (or more) of school won’t kill anyone, this virus already has.

Whenever things get hard at home with your children or partner, just repeat that mantra in your mind. This too shall pass.
