To shed light on how parents are coping with the ‘new normal’ following measures to tackle coronavirus, we’ve reached out to a set of families to share their digital diaries.

Here is the first, second, and third instalment of our Parent Voices series. Yasmin Johal and Yasmine Camilla share their family’s experience of managing the ‘new normal’ that families all over the world are experiencing due social distancing measures.
