[quote=Anonymous]I don't get the idea of a child that young having a curfew, covid or not.

To me, a curfew is a blanket time when a kid needs to be home.  So, for a kid who is no longer asking you permission to go each individual place, and who is transporting themselves home, it's the time they need to be home by.

But for my 13 year old, and I anticipate this will still be the same at 14, after dark they're only going specific places that I have approved, and then they and I have worked out an agreement for how they'll get home and what time.

So, they might go play in a baseball game that runs after dark, and the expectation is that when it's over they come home.  If a teammate says "we're going to the diner, want to come" they call me and we make a plan for what time we'll pick them up from there.  But it's not a blanket time that's the same for every event.  It depends on the location, and the transportation plan, and because I anticipate that adults will be involved in the transportation part a fair amount, then it depends on the adult convenience.
