[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

There are plenty of 7/8 yr olds who aren’t comfortable being dropped off with a random parent at a party venue yet. Further, this particular age group of kids lost a lot of early experiences w/ socialization (and parties) due to their pre-k and K years being totally disrupted by covid. You’re in the wrong, op. You should absolutely accommodate any parent who feels they need to stay. Plan and HH if you want to catch up w your two friends. [/quote]

Stop blaming Covid for everything!  I can hear all the parents lamenting their kid didn't get into Harvard because of Covid!  [/quote]

I’d seek help for the voices in your head. Here in present-day reality for 2nd graders, these kids are still catching up socially. They’ll get there but this is the first year they’ve had “normal” since they were 4. [/quote]
