[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're worried about your kids being at home primarily because of you or your job, not them.
You are now allowing them to go on sleepovers and worse.
Some of you are sending them on summer trips/camp. 
Then you will send them to school with my kids.
You'll get what you deserve -- but so will your kids, and so will mine, and so will I. 
Thanks.[/quote]

The CDC allows all of these activities if your area is in the green/open phase.  The virus is going to be around for a long time.  People don't really get that the main goal was to delay and prevent a surge that would completely overwhelm our hospitals.  The goal was never to prevent people from ever getting the virus.

There is also a risk to you and your children's mental health by staying isolated for several months on end.  That is not to be just idly dismissed, there is an impact, even though you may not clearly see it.[/quote]

I kept thinking maybe this argument was just rationalizing on our part in order to justify sending our kids out. But my teenage DD started sports practice last week and after just a few practices, I realized last night how much more better her spirits are. She's much more motivated, and I'm seeing her anxiety and depression improving already. I think I really diminished just how bad the isolation has been for her. One anecdote, but I am certain she is not alone. [/quote]

The key is to remain productive.  Try new things.  Master a new skill.  Full focused diet.  Be active in social/community causes through donations, awareness, fostering etc.  don’t just mope around and snack all day.  [/quote]
