[quote=Anonymous]OP again. I hear you about chronic stress in childhood; my spouse experienced it and it was no joke.

On the other hand, speaking as someone with significant medical trauma, having my child or anyone in our household go through the scope of illness coronavirus can create is low on my list of things I want to have happen. Because I am at higher risk, this is a real consideration.

I think what is hard about assessing these other variables is that we don't know what to compare this to. Is it like a war? Is it like a POW camp? Is it like being kidnapped by a crazed anti-human-contact cult? It's just dissimilar enough from many situations that could be points of departure to make the bodies of work that could inform the population-level decision-making....not that informative.

I think this generation is going to be marked by this experience. But other than the basics, I don't think our behavior as parents is going to be driving the bus about the nature and scope of that impact. It's unnerving, but I'm trying to get comfortable with it. [/quote]
