[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can see there are challenges across all ages!

I think I have it bad because we are introverts, and my only child, 3 yo, is very extroverted. He has made friends with birds on the back deck. "Hey bird! Come back bird!" He stands on a chair and yells at older kids biking through the alley. Yesterday he flung the door open and shouted "I love you!" at the mailman. My DH and I are just not enough for him!

We do zoom calls with his teachers, classmates. Grandparents, cousins. But he is starting to get tired of it-- it was a novelty, but it is not the same, to sing and play games together on the screen vs real life. Better than nothing though.

My little guy had his favorite things taken away-- friends, playground. I know he is enjoying lots of mommy and daddy time but it does not make up the difference.

So my kid's not the only one! He's hanging in there pretty well, and he loves family. But he misses friends, and every person we pass on social distance walks gets a huge smile and greeting. He's made friends with birds, squirrels, worms, and now--Alexa. He says she's his friend. (My kid is 5)[/quote]
