  1. Number of households with hungry children nearing 14 million, study finds
    https://www.inquirer.com/news/coronavirus-pandemic-childhood-hunger-housing-insecurity-20200728.html
  1. Help! I’m Quarantining With My Parents!
    https://www.wnyc.org/story/help-im-quarantining-my-parents
  1. Frat Parties. Dorms. Dining Halls. Here’s How College Campuses Are Trying To Stop Coronavirus Outbreaks This Fall.
    https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/danvergano/coronavirus-college-campus-dorms-parties-classrooms
    “We don’t know if things are going to necessarily get better. Or get worse.”
  1. When Grandparents Are Estranged From Their Grandchildren
    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/23/well/family/estrangement-grandparents-grandchildren.html
    At heart, estrangement from grandchildren reflects estrangement from adult children, the gatekeeper middle generation that can promote or deny access.
  1. Does going back to school mean walking into danger?
    https://www.deseret.com/utah/2020/7/25/21334524/school-covid-19-masks-utah-safety-governor-herbert-mandate-pandemic
    The question isn’t safety, it’s a matter of relative risk, experts say
  1. The Unequal Impact of COVID-19 on Children’s Economic Vulnerability
    https://thesocietypages.org/ccf/2020/07/28/the-unequal-impact-of-covid-19-on-childrens-economic-vulnerability/
  1. Cohabiting in the Time of Covid19: The good, the bad, and the need for support
    https://thesocietypages.org/ccf/2020/07/21/cohabiting-in-the-time-of-covid19-the-good-the-bad-and-the-need-for-support/
  1. The Pandemic Is Putting Marriage Even Further Out of Reach
    https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2020/07/pandemic-marriage-out-of-reach-americans/614506/
    Married life is already the purview of the privileged. The economic crisis will only make things worse.
  1. There Is So Much More Than the Nuclear Family, Even Now
    https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2020/07/how-people-care-their-community-during-pandemic/614275/
    The narrative of family as the most legitimate form of care during the pandemic can make it hard to see all the creative ways people are showing up for one another.
  1. When Caring for Your Child’s Needs Becomes a Job All Its Own
    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/24/us/children-disabilities-parenting-poverty-assistance.html
    For some parents, work outside the home is impossible as they navigate complicated and frustrating systems for help. But they don’t have to go it alone.
  1. Colleges Are Getting Ready to Blame Their Students
    https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/07/colleges-are-getting-ready-blame-their-students/614410/
    As campuses reopen without adequate testing, universities fault young people for a lack of personal responsibility.
  1. Black Children Are More Likely to Die After Surgery Than White Peers, Study Shows
    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/20/health/black-children-surgery-deaths.html
    A large study, published in the journal Pediatrics, suggests that disparities exist in surgery outcomes, even among healthy children.
  1. Fertility rate: ‘Jaw-dropping’ global crash in children being born
    https://www.bbc.com/news/health-53409521
    The world is ill-prepared for the global crash in children being born which is set to have a “jaw-dropping” impact on societies, say researchers.
  1. Lonely Girls: How the Pandemic Has Deepened the Isolation of Adolescents
    https://www.wsj.com/articles/lonely-girls-how-the-pandemic-has-deepened-the-isolation-of-adolescents-11595937600
    The coronavirus lockdown has increased the fear of missing out for many girls; social media reveals who’s getting together and who’s stuck at home
  1. Is It Possible to Create Homeschooling Pods and Microschools Without “Opportunity Hoarding”?
    https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/parenting/a33434758/homeschooling-pods/
    Parents are choosing between a host of unfavorable options for fall’s return to school, but “pandemic pods” also bring about issues of inequity.
  1. Will Kids Follow the New Pandemic Rules at School?
    https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2020/07/us-schools-reopen-kids-social-distance/614713/
    Students are generally capable of doing what public-health experts ask, but not all of them, not everything, and not all the time.
  1. The pandemic is raising concerns about how teens use technology. But there’s still a lot we don’t know.
    https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/7/29/21346005/technology-social-media-impact-teenagers-research-common-sense-report
    A new report from Common Sense Media analyzes current research on how social media impacts teens’ mental health.
  1. Why It’s Good to Be Old, Even in a Pandemic
    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/28/well/live/aging-benefits-pandemic.html
    That aging can make us better than ever may be the biggest dirty little secret of all time.
  1. Lockdown has made it easier to talk about how difficult love can be
    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jul/22/lockdown-love-romatic-relationships-coronavirus
    This time has been a trial by fire for romantic relationships, leading to a new openness about our shared frailties
