[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We haven’t made a big deal about it and have called it an extended staycation, so 4 and 5 year old have been doing great, talked once about missing some specific friends so we arranged regular FaceTime calls with those friends. Otherwise they’ve been riding bikes, digging holes in the backyard, playing on their iPads and watching Home Alone for the 30th time. They’ve had no interest in any of the zoom meetings for preschool, which is awesome for me because it’s hard to keep my eyes from rolling when listening to some of the moms talk about how “devastating” this is for their precious little one and how they’re going through bottles of wine trying to figure out how to homeschool. Devastating is not having food on the table or a home to live in or losing a loved one, it’s not devastating to not see your friends for a few weeks, especially at this age. Hell, the 4 year old couldn’t even remember half the kids in the school photo taken a few weeks ago.[/quote]

Thank you! I totally agree, and this is exactly the attitude I’m striving to have with my kids as well. [/quote]

Exactly. We are pretty chill about it, and therefore they are as well. If they’re old enough to have close bonds with friends to the point that they’re missing them, they’re old enough to understand that this is temporary. I don’t understand why some people have to make a big deal out of nothing.[/quote]

Really? She lost me at letting her 4 year old watch Home Alone.[/quote]
