In the first month of staying at home, I read that people were putting teddy bears in their windows so that parents could take their kids on scavenger hunts to search for teddy bears. I don’t know if anyone was doing that or not in my neighborhood, but it kept me busy. I posed the bears and drew pictures of them in my sketchbook. It quickly became apparent that keeping busy and distracted, to find a hobby or any way at all to cope is pretty important. For young parents trying to work at home and educate and take care of their kids, it’s a big job.
