Nearly a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, conversations about the impact of COVID-19 on children and families have shifted. Initial advice for parents stressed topics such as how to talk about the pandemic with children or cope with illness-related distress. They now focus on youth adjustment to a heavily disrupted school year and on strategies for building long-term resilience. Although these conversations often center on youth adjustment, they have-at last-started to consider the well-being of parents (and other caregivers) as well. This shift in focus is crucial given the enormous challenges that parents face right now and the direct links between their well-being and that of their children. What continues to lag, even well into the pandemic, however, is the provision of workable solutions for addressing parents' mental health. While we applaud the renewed focus on parenting stress and well-being, we remain deeply concerned by the absence of a plan for intervening.
在 COVID-19 大流行近一年后，关于 COVID-19 对儿童和家庭影响的讨论已经发生了变化。最初，父母们的建议强调了与孩子谈论大流行或应对与疾病相关的困扰等话题。现在，他们关注的是青少年如何适应严重中断的学年，以及建立长期韧性的策略。尽管这些对话通常集中在青少年的适应上，但它们——终于——开始考虑父母（和其他照顾者）的幸福感。鉴于父母目前面临的巨大挑战以及他们的幸福感与孩子的幸福感之间的直接联系，这种焦点的转变至关重要。然而，即使在大流行期间，解决父母心理健康问题的可行解决方案的提供仍然滞后。虽然我们赞赏对育儿压力和幸福感的重新关注，但我们仍然对缺乏干预计划深感担忧。
