[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, we're choosing to opt out of many of the "extra" zooms. Sometime they conflict with mine or DH's work schedule and sometimes the kids just don't want to do them - and that's perfectly ok!

My 4yo preschooler has 5 a week with his teachers/friends and his 'specials' teachers - music and gymnastic. For the most part doesn't enjoy them, and the kids are just screaming over each other to be heard so we skip more than we attend.

My FCPS 5th grader has 2 a day for distance learning which she can handle on her own.  And while we encourage her to attend we don't demand it as she is largely bored by the content.  She's attended all but one session so far. She also has at least one meeting a week for each of her activities - chorus, select choir, theatre, student council leadership and private music lessons, plus her teach hosts 'lunch bunches' every day during break and wants students to attend once per week. At first she enjoyed these calls but is quickly tiring of the limited interactions that can be had.  We leave those choices nearly entirely up to her.

Zoom fatigue and quarantine fatigue are absolutely real and kids are impacted just like adults.  Our family has chosen to focus on what's most important to us at this time and that doesn't mean jumping on a zoom call every time our kids are summoned.  [/quote]
