[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Average for a 2nd grader is 7-8 and should be able to attend a birthday party for classmate without holding mommy's hand!  If they can't they can't then the parent is doing something wrong!  I travelled by plane by myself at age 7 and was not afraid or anxious.[/quote]

Your experience is not everyone’s experience. You are really selfish and intolerant of you can’t imagine that some kids have different needs and experiences than you.

Please remember that for current 2nd graders their kindergarten year was remote with a handful of outdoor parties and no extracurriculars or school events. Their 1st grade year was fully masked, full of remote and outdoor events, and punctuated with long absences with people in quarantine. The social skills and experience navigating places like a trampoline park or laser tag venue are very limited. Most kids get the experience of going to these venues WITH a parent in k or 1st before being left to their own loosely supervised devices. Socially and emotionally the current 2nd and 3rd graders are not as mature as pre-pandemic kids in the same grade. [/quote]
