[quote=Anonymous]I think the effects of social isolation are something that parents should keep in mind when weighing their options. But I also think this post is a disservice to true child abuse and adds unnecessary guilt to parents who are already struggling (I write this as a mom of a 3 and 5 year old who feels like I’m juggling nothing but crappy choices). We’ve ended up partnering up with a small pod for social interaction purposes, have frequent FaceTime calls with grandparents, and do park visits with masks on. It’s what works for us to balance our fears of the virus but keep our sanity. But we also don’t have any high risk family members. It doesn’t do a child any good to have play dates if their high risk parent, who may provide the family economic stability, dies or ends up hospitalized for a lengthy time. [/quote]
