[quote=Anonymous]Hindsight is 20/20, OP.

Between March and September 2020 the only people our two kids played with in person were each other and a cousin who quarantined before we met up. We WAH, used delivery only, and did a handful of playdates outdoors and masked.

Fast forward to fall 2020, our our oldest (6) started in person in September and youngest (3) was still at home. Younger DC has stayed home until recently starting preschool a few times a week in person. However we did do playdates starting in the fall, because we felt it was so important for socialization. We only met up outdoors/masked with a few other families who were COVID cautious.

Spring 2021, we are both vaccinated. We are starting to open up from our circle of ~5 families, which is great, but we will still only do outdoor/masked socializing until the kids are vaccinated. I think you can strike a balance between keeping the child home all day and going all out with any kind of socializing. My kids have a ton of fun and don't even mind the masks. They wear them all day at school also. This is going to end pretty soon -- I expect vaccines for their age group will be approved by November. A bit of caution to spare them any longterm issues from a poorly understood disease is warranted in my view, especially because it is possible to play without doing indoor dining and socializing.
