Relationship Tips for Maintaining Harmony During COVID-19

Parent Category: Newsflashes

What a strange new world we are living in when a Google search for “love in the time of coronavirus” returns over one million results! Scroll through, and you’ll find endless tales of love during COVID, whether budding (see: the couple who went on a virtual date via their respective rooftops) or breaking apart (divorces in China spiked following the end of the lockdown). Most relationships, however, fall somewhere in the middle of that spectrum, and if you’re simultaneously feeling grateful for your partner’s company and also ready to jet off on a month-long solo vacation after all of this is over, you are not alone. The stress of self-isolation together, combined with heightened financial concerns, health worries, and general distress over the state of the world, can be a recipe for tension. We hope these tips will support the health of your relationship during the pandemic—and maybe even help you come out the other side with a stronger bond than before.

It might feel tough to keep connected when you’re at home. You might not know what to do with yourself, or feel lost. Maybe we can turn those feelings into something better, a day of reflection, home activities, or a call to (virtual) action! We’re currently compiling a list of resources for these times of social isolation connection. We’re talking virtual sing-a-longs, crafts, health resources, breathing videos, yoga classes, as well as links to lists compiled by others. 

Below are five of our favorite online activities. For more info, find our MASTER LIST here, and don’t forget to email "> if you have suggestions about helpful videos, upcoming virtual events, volunteer opportunities, etc.  

 

WE LOVE YOU BROOKLYN!

Do you have a Family Plan for COVID-19?

Hey All,

I’ve begun hearing from more of my friends, and friends of friends that folks are fighting COVID-19. I’ve heard that some people have fought and are coming out the other side, doing well, and not infecting other family members which is very reassuring.

This seems like a good time to send a message about making a FAMILY PLAN.  While the overwhelming majority of families with young kids will be okay, we all do need to plan. You may never need this information at all, but having a plan in place should help you feel better prepared so you can sleep better.

Social distancing is still in full force, and the world is a bit of a scary place right now—meaning that it's a perfect time for kids to escape into an alternate timeline and wile away the hours with a good book. We’re collecting recommendations from PSP members on books for various age groups, so here are some time-tested titles to expand your little ones’ minds, cure boredom, and nurture a lifelong love of reading.

[Special] An Update from PSP Headquarters

Hey All,


As we settle into our temporary normal, I wanted to take a time to check in, say “hi,” and give an update from PSP Headquarters. Many of the projected models have been saying that today or tomorrow we may reach the apex in the number of deaths due to COVID-19 here in NYC. Cuomo is hopeful that we are flattening the curve. At the same time we must remember that we need to stay vigilant; things may come in waves and this may be one battle of many. Here come some highlights of life in NYC and ramblings from my heart. (It turned out to be a lot of ramblings!)
