[quote=Anonymous]It’s funny, in some ways we are socializing more than pre COVID because when there is an opening to do things everyone wants to do them. But less informal mingling with acquaintances, less big parties… we have a group of about 5 families who is on the same page in terms of caution and we see them quite often. The rest of the world is out there and will likely come back into focus this summer.

One of my kids just turned three when this started. They didn’t have many friends but made more these past few years. They are in person at school now and like it. The first year they met up with two other little friends for play dates, like yours. The other child was six when this started, they seem to have stuck to a small but close friend group. Luckily their school stayed in person throughout so the longest period of isolation we had to deal with was the first wave through the summer. This kid makes friends easily, always has a new friend at camp or what not so I’m not too worried.

It’s been a very long two years and people are burnt out. Give it some time — it’ll get back to being more normal.
