ASU professor cited in New York Times article about adding structure to kids' lives

It’s clear that parents with children at home are still adjusting to a new (current) normal. Family dynamics have changed, not only in the way kids attend school, but in daily routines that used to follow standard and predictable patterns.

In a recent article by The New York Times, experts contributed ways to bring structure back into kids' lives. Among those experts was ASU’s Kimberly Updegraff, a family and human development professor in the T. Denny Sanford School of Social and Family Dynamics.

Updegraff notes that there can be resistance to change, but engaging children in the process of creating new routines can help.
