[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They were quarantined at home with their parents, could go outside wearing masks, had food, and entertainment!  They were not in a war zone dodging bombs, with little food and water and poor shelter.

American kids are treated as though they are hot house orchids!  Teach your children to do for themselves and stop wrapping them in cotton![/quote]

Did you read the article? For kids in situations you described, the article talks about positive benefits.[/quote]

Right.
The DCUM kids, our kids, are becoming more independent with fewer episodes of depression and anxiety along with fewer migraines and less chronic pain overall.

The question is, how do we keep those benefits when things return to ‘normal?”

Do fewer activities? Work out a work schedule where parents of young kids can keep them home more hours? Kick your kids outside as much as possible?

I’m not, by the way, saying it’s easy. Before the stay at home orders I worried about my kids not having enough time to sit outside and stare at the sky. Now they do. But if they were in school 7 hours, commuting another hour, then practicing an instrument and doing homework and sports practice, no way.[/quote]
