I appreciate your response. What do you think of the government's new plan to mandate education starting at age 3? I wonder what effects this year-plus lock down will have on this generation of children. Based on what I witnessed in a store yesterday, adult "care-givers" are stressed out. A year of isolation with a depressed or sad or angry parent can't be good.

Got any links on the mandatory schooling at age 3 thing? I wasn't aware of that having any real traction. Personally I think parents spending more time with their kids over the past year is probably a good thing for most. When my kids were of that age, I could spot behavioral differences between the day care kids and those who stayed at home with a parent. To be clear I'm not in any way taking a swipe at working parents, but I do believe that if it is financially possible that it is in the child's interest not to be put in daycare.

And the daycare workers aren't sad or depressed? How so? Because they're working during a pandemic? Those kinds of jobs pay barely above minimum wage, you know. Spending time with whoever has the child's best interests at heart (usually this is the parents/guardians) is ideal.
