Hey, #parents! Are you looking for ways to support your children as they cope with the #pandemic? Check out this resource from the @CDCgov that addresses the social, emotional, and mental wellbeing of children and young adults during #covid19. cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nco…

#covidparenting survey shows: Parents are doing more childcare, kids are getting more screen time, and parents are more stressed, regardless of school type. With in-person school, kids get less #screentime and their parents do less childcare than kids getting virtual instruction.

433 complete responses so far. Which is AWESOME. But we need *a lot* more so far. I mean, there's definitely more than 433 school districts out there. Please share. #PandemicParenting #COVID19

We love turtles 🐢 (our mascot is a terrapin) and we love #citizenscience, so we're pretty excited about this week's @CitSciMonth takeover! Follow them to learn how you can contribute to #science while staying safe at home. 👀
It’s Grace again from @pwc_wildlife! My role here at PWC is to manage our box turtle study and citizen science project, as well as care for our 24 Ambassador Animals. Here’s a #shellfie with me and Shelly, our only female box turtle ambassador! Can you tell male & female🐢apart?

As parents ourselves, we know parents have a lot of questions about raising children during a pandemic. Check out this "ask me anything" webinar with @UofMaryland alum and clinical psychologist Dr. Romirowsky: eventbrite.com/e/realistic-p… #UMD #parents
Language Scrapbooking Tip: Talk about the new year! What are your resolutions? Why are they important to you? Even preschoolers can participate in conversations about goals. More on our blog, with links to advice from @healthychildren and @HopkinsKids kidtalkscrapbook.org/post/la…
