[quote=Anonymous]My 5 year old, in preK, is mostly fine. He doesn’t seem to really miss school that much at all and doesn’t really want to do the distance learning or any activities his school has sent out. We still do them but on a very slow, relaxed schedule. He has enjoyed the ability to do things in his own time. We’re never rushing around to go anywhere and I’m never having to remind him multiple times to get dressed, brush teeth, etc. We just do things when we feel like it and are both much more calm and relaxed as a result. The only parts that have been really hard for him are places he likes to go being closed such as museum, library, zoo, playgrounds and that he can’t see his grandparents or friends in person. He has been emotional about those things on occasion. Overall though, I think he genuinely enjoys being home and having all our family here together all the time. And he and his sister have been getting along much better than usual. They play so well together now and hardly ever fight which really surprised me as I thought they’d get sick of only seeing each other all the time and no other kids. But all the time together has actually brought them closer.

My 3 year old, who doesn’t go to school yet, is also mostly fine with this. She really loves having her older brother here  but I think she misses having one on one time with me that she was used to having daily during the week while her brother was at school. She also has regressed a bit to acting like a baby sometimes with baby talk and wanting to be carried around. I’m not sure it’s connected to any stress or anxiety she may feel but I think that’s a possible cause.[/quote]
