[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have an only myself, but friends with onlies are DESPERATE right now during COVID. (Obviously this won’t last forever though). They are the ones I know putting their kids in camps or other activities so their kids can have some socialization.[/quote] I have an only child and we are very far from desperate! Oddly enough, my kid seems to be handling Covid better than most of his friends -- all of whom have siblings. Our area did not reopen schools, so we're still DL. He has maybe one in-person, masked, outdoor play date each week and Facetimes and/or games with friends every day. Gets lots of exercise every day, etc. I know all of his friends' parents and they report things like their kid seeming depressed, "regressing" and having "meltdowns", doing poorly in school, and so on and so on. We've seen none of that. [/quote] That’s probably more his disposition. Our only is wrecked. [/quote]
