Dr. Golinkoff talks to us about how to approach parenting while sheltering-in-place in order to keep your kids healthy, happy, active and safe. We talk about the adjustments that we've all had to make during this time, and discuss some optimistic hopes that we'll be able to take some of these positive recent learnings into our routines going forward as things start to go back to "normal".
