Our neighborhood kids are playing together. That is their social circle and it is tight. I think it is fine. The goal is not to stop infection, the goal is to slow it down and by staying only with that circle they are doing so.

No way. My kids are 5 and 3, so not very capable of staying 6 feet away.

What she described IS social distancing. Social distancing is not quarantine.
+1, my neighbor and I are letting our kids ride bikes or scooters together. No hide and seek, nothing where they touch things the other one touches (baseball etc). She and I sit 6’ apart on camp chairs and supervise. They are really good at policing themselves.

Yeah, our kids are two 4th graders, a 2nd grader and a first grader. So they get it. We tried letting them in the same yard but apart early last week and that did not work. The kids aren’t going on trips to the store, it’s just she and I. Neither of our husbands have gone anywhere either.
