... Read moreWatching my child prepare for kindergarten graduation brought a mix of emotions, especially knowing they are one of the so-called "Covid babies." The past few years have been challenging for our families, with restrictions and uncertainties shaping our children's early experiences. I found that celebrating these milestones, even in small ways, helped reinforce a sense of normalcy and achievement for both parent and child. Leading up to the graduation, I spent time discussing with my child what the ceremony would look like, explaining how it might be different from traditional events due to ongoing safety measures. Despite the novelty, their excitement was palpable. I also connected with other parents going through the same experience, which provided comfort and shared ideas for making the day special. One thing I learned is the importance of capturing these moments—photos of "the night before kindergarten graduation" and the ceremony itself become treasured keepsakes. It’s a reminder of resilience and growth during an unprecedented time. For any parent raising a Covid baby, embracing these milestones fully despite the hurdles can be incredibly rewarding. Sharing your story helps others feel connected and supported in this unique parenting journey.

Covid babies are a whole other level
Covid babies aren’t a “generation of delays” like some parents are saying. They’re kids who learned to thrive in a totally screwed up world. Parenting during the pandemic changed us too. There was less village support, more anxiety, and fewer opportunities for connection (for both us and baby). I

Next year... the COVID babies start kindergarten. The ones born into a world of masks and distance. Where smiles were hidden and visits were postponed. Where grandparents met them through glass. Where "six feet apart" became the new normal. They were born in silence— no big baby shower
