    <description>The coronavirus pandemic has turned our lives upside down. Parent Trapped is here to help. Each week, host Ann Marie Baldonado checks in with authors, educators, and celebrities to bring you real-world stories and tips. You&apos;ll hear from experts and listeners on everything from juggling work and school with kids at home to awesome pillow fort designs (!) and great family movies. Common Sense created Parent Trapped to capture parents&apos; candid stories and moments when reality meets (comic) relief. Because, let&apos;s face it: Raising kids in quarantine is a challenge none of us saw coming. </description>
