[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kind off topic but seeing the mention of kids going trick or treating by themselves reminded me of the time my Aunt had a 20-some year old guy with no costume ring her doorbell at 11 pm on Halloween with no bag who said trick or treat.

I think Covid and screens have made kids less socially adept.[/quote]

People really need to stop blaming Covid. That was 4 years ago. My shy kid from Covid played Minecraft and read for that year. He has all new friends plus 3 friends from elementary in high school. My Fortnite during Covid kid plays multiple sports and doesn’t touch video games. [/quote]

It was four years ago during a very important developmental time for kids depending on the age. Some kids were out of in person school for much longer than others depending on their district. My own child only recently progressed because his speech therapy during that period was paused having lasting issues for his self esteem. Study after study has shown Covid related impacts on educational achievement and estimated income as an adult. So no, I’m not going to stop incorporating Covid into a discussion about delays we are seeing in social skills.[/quote]

This is a tween/teen forum. Your kid must have been at least 8. My kids were 8 and 10 when Covid started. By that summer, they were back to playing soccer and tennis almost everyday.

I know some younger kids who were in kindergarten or started kindergarten during Covid that seem to also blame Covid. The parents of kids who are doing fine seem to think it was fairly easy to teach their kids to read and add. The kids who are struggling blame Covid.[/quote]
