[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I drive around my only 5 year old to find a nearby small outdoor playground that is either empty or have few kids that are masked. If either one requirement is satisfied, we just drive around and end up in dunkin donut to get a donut instead. On a few occasion, my son cried because I had to make him leave the playground immediately because some other kids showed up without masks at the playground. I understand why he cried, and he understand the reasons behind I had to make him leave (because of other unmasked kids). He is little that he still can’t help it out to cry, and I always take him other places to cheer him up a bit. He prefers a playground with masked kids OVER a playground with nobody. And other masked kids stay around to play even other unmasked kids shown up.

Do I handle it alright or am I too strict? [/quote]

Hi OP. If I had to guess, you may be more on the too cautious side of the spectrum. That being said, everyone has his own risk tolerance. For example, I do not let my (young) children use the neighbor's trampoline. I am sure people think that I am too strict, but it does not bother me. At the same time, I let my children play on our cul-de-sac without me being outside with them. They are good about watching for cars. I am sure some people will think that I am too lax about it. Again, that's just me.  [/quote]
