[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not worry about speech delay as much as I worry about kids' not seeing facial expression and not learning to read social cues, see emotions and connect emotions with facial expressions, or words with facial expressions except what they see in caregivers' eyes. I mean, we have no choice but yes, it bothers me as well. But I say, we should be grateful anyone even working in daycares, teachers are quitting in droves and no, they are not comfortable cuddling and hugging kids, and that is even worse than kids not seeing faces. It must be very stressful for teachers to work in daycare right now. I wish this would be over, it creates a whole host of issues that we never faced before! Courage everyone. Just make sure to spend a lot of time with your child at home.[/quote]

I hadn’t even considered the lack of cuddles. This makes me think I need to extend my leave. I’m supposed to go back when my baby is 16 weeks but I just don’t think I can stomach this. [/quote]

The caregivers at our daycare are just as hands-on and cuddly with the infants and toddlers now as they were pre-pandemic.  [/quote]

They shouldn’t be cuddling.  And they are masked.  I would extend leave as long as possible or find other arrangements with an infant.  [/quote]

I call troll lol

NOPE.  Just a mom.  [/quote]

So, what do you propose they do?  Leave them isolated in cribs for 8-10 hours a day?  Hands off approach, unless they are feeding a child or changing a diaper?
Just love you people who are so privileged that you think it is easy for everyone to extend their leave or "find other arrangements" for infant care.  You realize the majority of the country doesn't have that luxury, right?[/quote]

Ignore the crazy poster who thinks daycare teachers aren't cuddling babies. That person is not in touch with reality.[/quote]
