[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kind of sad if being with your parents instead of a poorly paid stranger is harmful to child development. I would have to read the full article. Wonder if it is related to parental depression?[/quote] I’m sure this is part of it. When you’re feeling stressed, scared and/or depressed you’re less likely to engage with your infant and provide enriching activities. Things like tummy time, peek a boo, and narrating your and the baby’s every move aren’t a priority when you feel like you’re in survival mode. Before the pandemic many mothers had the privilege of having time to worry about such things. Once Covid hit many people went into survival mode. Never mind the lack of things to do with a kid that age when baby music class, swim class, the farm, the zoo, etc are all closed and no one wants to visit for fear of getting your baby sick. [/quote]
