Five years ago, "Family Strong" captured life in lockdown through the eyes of five families, offering a raw, self-shot look at the uncertain time during the COVID-19 pandemic. Before we share their next chapter later this year, we invite you to revisit the original series. It’s a powerful reflection on resilience, change, and the bonds that carried us through those unprecedented times. #FamilyStrong #Documentary #LifeInLockdown #Resilience #COVID

We’re excited to share that Daniel Warren, Ph.D., Director of Youth Development & Education, and Tiffany Salone, Senior Researcher, will be attending the 2025 Common Sense Media Summit on Kids and Families in San Francisco the week of March 24.

Five years ago, we embarked on a unique storytelling journey. At the height of the pandemic lockdown, we handed cameras to five American families and asked them to document their own lives—capturing the raw, unfiltered reality of navigating uncertainty, resilience, and hope. The result? "Family Strong"—a deeply personal, self-shot docuseries that went on to earn five Telly Awards for its innovative storytelling. Now, on the fifth anniversary of the pandemic, we’re revisiting these families to see where life has taken them since. A full revisit episode will launch later this year, but today, we’re dropping a teaser to give you a glimpse of what’s to come. Stay tuned, and in the meantime, catch up on "Family Strong" here: https://buff.ly/ammBQCa Nellie Gregorian Heath Cozens Paige Frankovich #FamilyStrong #Documentary #Storytelling #COVID19 #Anniversary #WhereAreTheyNow

Five years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, its impact still shapes how we live, work, and connect. From deepening our appreciation for healthcare workers to shifting how we prioritize family and remote work, the pandemic changed us in lasting ways. We asked our team to reflect on how their perspectives, routines, and priorities have evolved. Their answers are thoughtful, personal, and a reminder of how much we’ve all been through—and grown. Read their reflections below! How has the pandemic changed the way you see the world? Let us know in the comments. #COVID19 #Reflection #WorkLife Farrah Brensinger Allison Caplovitz, PhD Mona El-Hout, Ph.D Mary Meyn Sofia Polo Kelly Sheehan, Ph.D

Education is more than grades and rankings—it's about curiosity, resilience, and growth. However, many of the kids our team works with often talk about experiencing stress from the demands of school. In this video, produced by Heath Cozens and his team at Fluent Productions, teens share their thoughts with researcher Daniel Warren, Ph.D. on how the pressure to be perfect can hinder true learning. At Fluent, we're passionate about kids' wellbeing and many of our clients are eager and motivated to design products, services, and strategies that can directly aid parents, teens, and families in navigating stress at all levels. Let’s focus on creating spaces that inspire exploration and celebrate the process of learning, not just the results. What’s your approach to fostering curiosity in education?
