#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.

Happy Friday, #parents! Will you take 4 minutes to tell us about your week, so we can understand the pandemic experiences of parents around the US? https://t.co/j4Rgiu6GUK #pandemicparenting

[Joshua Hartshorne @jkhartshorne]

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
