THIS. Dear god, parents. Do you think your 14 year old is capable to maintaining social distance when unsupervised by adults at night? Do you want to buy a bridge?
Our highly social 14 year old is at home, playing video games online with his friends. He stays up until midnight, which is fine, since school doesn't start for us until after Labor Day. He only goes out to exercise--by himself--or on family hikes, walks, bike rides, etc. Pre-covid, he went to birthday parties and sleepovers on a regular basis, so we are not anti-social parents. Thankfully, none of the other parents in our peer group seem to be allowing their freshmen out, either. We all believe in science and several of us are physicians. We need to stop the spread of the virus until we have a vaccine. That means staying home.
