[quote=Anonymous]We follow other people's leads at the playground. We have a 3.5-year-old and we are fine if he plays with others, and pretty much all other parents we've encountered on the playground are the same way--otherwise they leave because it is really hard to  keep kids apart. We stay well away from other adults and their children though, only asking if it's okay as our son maybe approaches their kid. We don't disinfect anything. We use hand sanitizer when we are done.

It's definitely risky, and we realize this, but less risky than an indoor play date or sending him to school in the fall which isn't happening. He's been a totally changed person since being able to go back to playgrounds and interact with other kids, sleeps better at night, is less whiny, is less attached to toys which he was calling his "friends." We are in an area of NoVa where the 7-day-average of cases is 13, but if it starts trending upwards a lot, we probably will stick to home. I'm glad he's getting playtime in now as we are in it for the long haul and will probably face more shutdowns in the future.[/quote]
