[quote=Anonymous]I dont think it qualifies as abuse.  That's going way overboard.

I do think that there is a mental impact to it, for both the children and, in some cases, their parents.  My older DD was 4 when this all started.  We shifted to FT WFH, her daycare closed, and we pulled her from other activities.  She quite literally did not see anyone other than DH and myself for 2 months.  I was pregnant at the time, so we were being extremely cautious.  
DD1 is very extroverted and thrives off of social interaction.  The isolation took a huge toll on her, and we started having behavior issues the likes of which we had never encountered.  Her daycare reopened shortly after DD2 was born, and we elected to re-enroll her, despite the fact that we are both still WFH.  We did this with the full support and encouragement of our pediatrician.  Best decision we could have made for her.  We see grandparents now, but no one else, so the interactions at daycare are her only social outlet. [/quote]
