Hi there. If you listen to Life Kit, chances are you're looking for ways to make life just a little bit better.

That is no small task in 2020. Finding small pockets of joy has never been more important.

That's why we've done so many episodes that help you do just that. Maybe one of our episodes inspired you to start journaling or camping or biking, or maybe

you started a little garden or found yourself doing more art projects than you used to. Or maybe

you just finally perfected your morning coffee or you've given mindfulness a try. If Life Kit

has helped you breathe or inspired you a little bit more this year,

then we have a favor to ask. Please consider donating to your local public radio station.

Supporting them help support LifeKit. To make a donation of any size at all,

go to donate.npr.org slash life kit. That's donate.npr.npr.org slash life kit. That's donate.npr.org slash life kit. So we can keep the good

advice coming in 2021. Thank you. Hey, I'm Mon Monica Kavanaugh.

And I'm Corey Turner, and we are here for a brand new Life Kit parenting episode on helping

you and your kids cope with this pandemic, which we're now more than nine months into.

Oh my God.

Okay.

We have some updates on the science of COVID because we nine months into. Oh my God. Okay.

We have some updates on the science of COVID because we know a little bit more now about how the disease works, especially with kids.

Yeah, we're also going to talk about how to deal with the feelings that we were all having,

but especially the kids in your lives.

That's right.
