[quote=Anonymous]It's a mix. It's nice because we don't have to resort to tv or other screen time to hypnotize fighting siblings into peace, which was my own parents' main strategy for dealing with bickering. I only have to help with schooling for one and decipher only one teacher's remote learning plan. I'm hearing from parents of multiples that each teacher is using different platforms and software and setting up multiple kids in the house feels like a full time job.

Self reliant only is really good at coming up with creative arts and crafts or puppet shows or massive Lego plus blocks plus magnatile creations, plus has baked some amazing muffins and cooked several meals for the family from scratch. Also puzzles and drawing and instrument practice. Lots of outdoor play, too, making fairy houses and throwing a ball against a wall.

But the lack of kid playmates is starting to wear. I can see the loneliness start to seep in. I wish we had a dog at least. FaceTime with some friends helps a little, but I'm worried about isolation as this continues.[/quote]
