Dear Friends,

We are pleased to present this special edition of Today's Family.  Inside you will find info related to the current pandemic.  Topics include how to talk to your children about the coronavirus, ideas to have virtual birthday parties for kids whose birthdays will be affected by the current quarantine and social distancing recommendations, and a reflective piece from Mommy Chronicles writer Stacy Turner.

Although they are temporarily closed right now, The Fairmount Center for the Arts in Russell Township and the Mandel JCC in Beachwood have great programs and camps that you can learn about and plan for once all this madness over.

Read about Pinwheels for Prevention and National Child Abuse Awareness Month.  Sadly, this situation will continue and possibly worsen during the pandemic.  If you suspect child abuse in a home, please call child services immediately!

This issue also features our annual Preschool Guide, the top baby names for 2020 and some silly jokes to hopefully bring a smile to your face during these unique times.

Links for all the aformentioned articles appear below. A PDF copy of both the Cuyahoga and Lake & Geauga print editions appears at the end of this article. Please be sure to view all the ads from our sponsors and let them know you learned about them in Today's Family.

There are no events listed in the print issue as everything is currently on hold.  Watch our Calendar of events and activities page for listings once Ohio residents get the "all clear" to resume with local gatherings.
