My 4 year old is doing suprisingly okay. She seems to get what’s going on and that she can’t see her friends because of the germs. From time to time though I think reality hits her. The first time she realized her beloved music class would be by Zoom she broke down. Whenever she asks to do something and the takes a beat and then says “oh we can’t cause of the germs.” It’s breaking my heart.

Like everyone else I want things to get back to normal soon... but mostly so I don’t have to crush my kid anymore :(. I’m not religious but I’m praying for a vaccine ASAP so all of this can end.[/quote]

Op, your kid is not “crushed.”  If she behaves as such, it’s because she’s picking up on your neurosis

There will not be a vaccine before we go back to normal.

She won’t even remember this in 5 years.  [/quote]

Go look up trauma response for children who’ve experienced natural disasters... she may not remember, but our children will almost certainly be affected by this. There will be significant variation, but we’re foing to have a generation of children who have even more trauma than before.[/quote]
