[quote=Anonymous]What's done is done, but going forward you should consider her mental health in the equation. If you and DH are vaccinated and you live in an area where people aren't taking big precautions with their kids, well, that's just how it is. Personally, in your situation, given you and DH are vaccinated, I would relax the rules at least as far as going to playgrounds -- including unmasked if that's what the kids are doing there. Not sure I'd be thrilled about indoor playdates and I sure as heck would not be doing indoor museums and such if no one is masked. But outside risk really is very, very low. And spring, summer, and fall are conducive to outdoor playdates. So she's been isolated so far -- she doesn't have to be now. Get her outside, meet your neighbors where they are (not literally -- in literal terms, only meet them outside, haha), and start making some friends.

Everything is a balance and a trade-off of risk. You made the best decisions you could until this point, but maybe now it's time to shift the balance in the other direction for the sake her emotional and social development. [/quote]
