What’s going on with families during the COVID pandemic? In partnership with the American Academy of Pediatrics, Prevent Child Abuse America, and with assistance and financial support from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), The Lucile Packard Foundation, the California Department of Public Health, and KidsData.org, we surveyed California parents, to find out how they are doing during the pandemic.

On February 23rd, KidsData.org released their first round of results from California parents who took this questionnaire in November 2020. Respondents were asked to recall their experiences before and during the pandemic. Here are a few headlines:

  1. Many California parents and caregivers have been building positive experiences for their children in the midst of this crisis. Nearly 95% of California respondents reported participating in recreational activities with their children in the past week—important opportunities supporting the first of the Four Building Blocks of HOPE: relationships. It is encouraging to see family fun persisting even though parents may feel stretched thin.
