The AAP released a list of tips for parents who are dealing with financial, emotional and other stresses related to the COVID-19 pandemic as they spend time isolated indoors with their families, encouraging them to engage in self-care, seek assistance and use healthy discipline for children.

“During this time of understandable anxiety, give back and reach out to other parents when they need support,” AAP President Sara H. Goza, MD, FAAP, said in a statement. “If someone calls you frustrated about a crying baby or screaming toddler, offer to help.”
