[quote=Anonymous]My kids are extroverted and athletic.  Would they like to return to school and sports?  Sure.  Are they doing ok with and even enjoying this time?  Yes.  They’re reading more — especially news about the election and about racism and about the pandemic.  They’re cooking and riding their bikes and having socially-distanced hangout time with friends in the neighborhood.  They’re doing crossword puzzles and watching too much TV.  They’re playing basketball in the driveway.  They’re fixing the fence and painting their bookcases and tie-dying masks.  They’re having fun together — playing cards and board games and doing zoom trivia contests with friends.  It actually reminds me of my childhood in suburban LA — kinda boring, but not overly structured, which was pretty great.  We’re lucky, I know, that they’re in middle and early HS years, that there are 3 of them, and that we live in the close-in ‘burbs where we have a yard.  We’re lucky that DH and I can both work from home.  We’re lucky they’re learning resilience and resourcefulness.  And patience and faith — this too shall pass.  [/quote]
