[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, as someone with two pandemic babies  (a 2020 and a 2021) I think the pandemic was hard on PARENTS with babies, but not really bad for the kids. I mean, someone was changing their diapers and feeding them milk and all that jazz, and they were too young for excessive screens.

From talking to teachers at various levels, the hardest hit roughly in order from worst to best were 1) the kids in K/1st, as doing those grades online is impossible and they missed crucial reading skills 2) middle schoolers, who missed crucial socializing and basically arrived to high school with the maturity of 5th graders and 3) the toddlers (ages 2-3) who spent WAY more time on screens then they would have otherwise.

So those kids are now in middle school, early college, and like 3/4th grade. [/quote]

This is spot-on.[/quote]

+100 my 2yo loved being home with us. He was too young to really miss his daycare friends. But he went back and went to FT preschool so as a 2nd grader now I don't see any issues from that ancient history.

My baby both during Covid doesn't remember anything but did daycare after awhile and preschool, will be starting K in the fall. They don't remember Covid of course.[/quote]
