[quote=Anonymous]PP here with medical condition. The bottom line is that it won't be the same as it was. Our DD has been grateful to see friends outside and inside for a movie with masks, social distancing and windows open, but so many restrictions do remain. And there should be restrictions even for children in a healthy family---that is how we keep the community safe. Our DD is an extrovert and a performer. She wilts without the excitement of putting on a show. I tell her that it is hard, that we will get through it, and that things will return to normal in time. It bugs me so much how poorly the country is handling the virus--the cost is not only lives but the mental health and social development of our kids. But it is what it is, and I can help our child best by trying to keep her positive and grateful for what she has. I remind her that we haven't gotten sick and that we haven't lost our jobs, and while it doesn't make her happy, it does help her keep things in perspective.  [/quote]
