I thought we're talking about young people, not --toddlers-- children, for Christ's sake
- lapcat 4y agoWe are. Toddlers don't go to school, so they didn't miss any school during the pandemic.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoFortunate toddlers do go to school. Lots of babies and toddlers only get interaction with other children in daycare, which I assume provides some developmental benefit.
- lapcat 4y agoThe subject of the submitted article is teenage unhappiness, so this seems like a tangent. Are toddlers unhappy? I don't know.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoYes, it was a tangent, but just wanted to point out that, for many in the US at least, it is not like decades ago when kids were out playing in the neighborhood. It is very possible that most, if not all, social interaction between kids happens in daycare, school, gym classes, or otherwise supervised get togethers.
