Grandparenting in the time of COVID-19:
Results from a national survey of families with young children
BY JAIA LENT
hen the COVID-19 pandemic began in the winter of 2020, few of us
know what to expect in the months that would follow. Looking back
to that time, the millions of Americans rushing to lay in supplies of
toilet paper seems trivial in contrast to the global toll on human lives that the
pandemic has taken. Virtually nowhere on the planet has gone unaffected by
COVID-19, and at the time of this writing, with new strains of the coronavirus
showing high infection rates, it is still uncertain when the pandemic will end.
Whether considering the impact on individuals, communities, or whole countries,
there is no doubt that we are living through a historic moment in human
history. The role of grandparents are playing in these difficult times is a significant
part of the story.

One topic that has gotten lost in the shuffle all too
frequently during the pandemic is the way in which
grandparents' roles have been affected.
"
In the United States, the impact of the pandemic on families with young children
has been extensive. Since April 2020 a team of researchers from University
of Oregon have been conducting an ongoing national survey of households
with a child age 5 and under known as RAPID which reveals many facts that
are cause for concern. For example, parents and caregivers report significant
increases in stress, loneliness, depression, and anxiety compared to before the
pandemic, and also report increases in children's emotional distress.
