[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]100% expected this and I expect many more studies with similar results. Honestly, I expect the actual difference is much higher. [/quote]

I wonder if this will spread to development into early childhood and throughout their growth though?[/quote]

DP, I think the delays can be made up, but kids who would normally be in child care need to actually be in child care … which means day cares need to drop their restrictive policies that exclude kids for days for the sniffles. The policies are leading some parents to drop day care entirely and try to keep working with little kids at home, or to use family (often elderly/retired) as child care, some of whom can’t keep up with a more active older baby or young toddler. Return child care policies to February 2020 and these problems will start to ease. [/quote]

A group of parents in the area is working to get COVID-19 daycare policies updated to enable optional masking for children and decrease the crushing quarantine burden on families. Please see below for our advocacy guides and petition.
