Are you letting your kids play with neighbors kids outside?

| I’m conflicted whether to let my kids play with their friends in the neighborhood… I’m talking about riding bikes, chalking on the driveway, playing hide and seek… Not close contact games, no hugging, etc. |

| Only when I'm outside too to make sure they play as you describe. |

| No. That is not social distancing. You are inviting them to spread the virus. |

| With this occasional rain we are asking them all to play in the basement. |

Of course not. You can't trust that they won't crash their bikes into each other, or give a hug goodbye, or tackle each other.
My kids are not allowed to play with other kids until this is over. |

No!
But I see others playing without the 6ft separation. It is wrong and selfish. I also see teens driving and hanging out together. |

| WTF. NO! Do you see the news coming out of Italy? Don't freaking have your kids playing together! And all together in a basement? OMG. |

Outside yes, but not touching. Basement no - no one goes in other houses.
Of course I can tell my kids not to hug and tackle. Maybe not if they are toddlers? Our neighborhood has been doing this and it's fine. |

What she described IS social distancing. Social distancing is not quarantine. |

| yes. outside only, 6 feet apart. they're older kids so they can abide by these rules. they know if caught not abiding by them, no more outside together time. |

| I think it’s cruel not to let kids play outside- they will be psychologically affected if we can’t allow this at least until there is a mandate for lockdown, then it’s just “against the law to play with others” and whatever psychological outcomes comes with that. |
