[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is helping me feel better. I have anxiety sending our Ker to private and him bringing home all sorts of germs. I may bring him a change of clothes every day and give him a bath as soon as we get home. Is that crazy? [/quote]

Yes, this sounds insane. You'll ask him to strip out of his clothes before he gets home? And then bath when he walks in the door?? It's understandable to have anxiety during all of this, but that's taking extreme measures and it will most certainly cause your child to have stress and anxiety himself. If you act like he's covered in germs from school, he could start developing weird ideas about germs being on everything at school. He may become afraid to go to school at all, or leave the house. If you're having that difficult of a time with it and can't control your anxiety over it, then keep him home instead.

Plenty of people leave the house each day and go to work. They don't change their clothes in the garage and run up to the shower (unless they're working in a hospital with COVID patients or something).[/quote]

We changed into play clothes, brushed our teeth (I had braces k-8) and washed our hands and faces as soon as we got home.  PP could easily swap for bath and play clothes.[/quote]
