Family Management: Looking to a Post-Pandemic Future

As more and more people get vaccinated against Covid-19, how do you lead your family through this safer but not coronavirus-free new world? Two parents in Israel — a child psychologist and an infectious disease doctor — describe the approach they’ve been taking with their three kids. Because when only one child is old enough to receive the vaccine, making your way out of lockdown is even more of a process.

Guests:

Orit Yafeh is a clinical child psychologist.

Ran Nir-Paz is an infectious disease physician.
