This study explored the daily routines of caregivers and the coping behaviors of both children and caregivers during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic. We collected data from ten caregivers and their children through caregiver and child interviews, and a caregiver survey in the Summer of 2020. We used descriptive statistics, and open, axial, and selective coding processes to analyze research data. Findings indicated that caregivers experienced difficulties in balancing home, work, and personal responsibilities. Both caregivers and children experienced social and emotional challenges, and their technology and digital media use differed. To cope with challenges, caregivers and children used various coping strategies. Our study deepened our understanding of the daily routines and coping behaviors of caregivers and children during the global pandemic.
