[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.

I totally get that there are bigger problems and challenges than teleworking with toddlers, but mental health of working parents of young kids is a valid issue. It may cause as much stress and resulting health problems as losing a job.

I wish there were more clarity on what it would take to reopen daycares/ guidance, etc. on national/ state and local level so parents can make decisions.

I just do not know what to do. How are parents supposed to work? It's a rhetorical question.[/quote]

I totally get what you're struggling with, I have young kids too and am struggling with the same challenges to care for them and get my work done.  I think we need to be prepared, though, that daycares might not get back to normal operating status until the fall.  A lot of childcare workers have children of their own, and so one thing to which your daycare could tie  reopening is adequate camps/schools/other supervised environments for the children of daycare workers.  Schools will be out for the rest of the year, so that takes us at least through June until they reopen.  Then we have to see if there will be summer camps, which is looking increasingly questionable.  If camps don't run, then it's going to be September before they might reopen.  If that's the time horizon we're looking at, what's your best option for keeping this going another 4-5 months?[/quote]

With the CDC's warning of a potentially worse second wave in the fall, I'd think beyond that honestly.  If things are as bad or worse than now in the fall, closures will happen all over again.[/quote]
