[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In addition to the fear mongering, OP's post also overlooks the kids who LIKE being at home.  Some kids don't need constant social interaction.  Some kids have been so over scheduled that this down time might actually be good for them.  It's important to understand the kid(s) you have and find a balance that works for everyone during this pandemic.[/quote]

3-5 year olds?  No. There’s a difference between letting your kid have down time, a[b]nd not being able to attend to them for hours at a time while working[/b]. [/quote]

No one said anything about leaving young kids home for hours unattended.  And plenty of young kids are over scheduled.  When my DS was in PK4 and K, there were kids in his class who had after school activities every single day: piano, soccer, swim, dance, karate, etc.  They were constantly being shuttled around here and there.  My DS has always been content to play at home or outside by himself, even as a young kid.  He's pretty introverted and was never the type to play with kids he didn't know at the park.  Every kid is different and making sweeping generalizations like OP did isn't helpful. [/quote]

um yes we are talking about leaving kids unattended for hours. because we have JOBS. Not dangerously unattended (hopefully) but basically no attention other than the minimum. it’s not good for anyone, especially only children. [/quote]
