    One thing we're finding is that social distancing is hard for kids, especially Bella (age 8). She misses her friends a lot. We've set her up on Facetime & that helps quite a bit. Not something we'd normally do but it's an emergency & kids need contact with friends.

        We’ve done a few virtual “play dates” - held a group “play date” via Zoom last week with my 1st graders’ classmates. It was hilarious, and I could see the difference in him immediately.

        Maybe host a virtual tea party with her friends. Or watch a movie together. Have them draw or paint pictures of each other. Or play a card or even a board game. At 8, they may not be able to maintain a constant stream of conversation the way my 19yo is (she facetimes alllll day).

        Good for you. Maybe we'll hear less hyperventilating about "screens" when this is all over, and less vaccine skepticism (which often goes hand-in-hand) too.

        I buckled this weekend an set up Messenger Kids for my daughter (age 9) at her request. Don't love giving FB more awareness of her, but it is giving her joy to chat with her friends, and it has parental controls to approve friend requests etc.

        Hi Luke, If you're looking for an alternative to FB messenger kids, Kinzoo is a messaging app that's built from the ground up for safety and privacy. Adults and kids use the same platform to chat, so it's streamlined and easy to connect.https://kinzoo.com/

        What we just started was when they craft, to makes things for friends and send a short video to them showcasing it.

        I had avoided online gaming until now, the but happiest my 7yo has been the past few days is when he could facetime and play Roblox with friends.

        More than 1 meltdown from my 9 yo. Weve been under shelter in place for 8 days. Tomorrow's his 10 b-day. I'm sure it will be one he'll remember for good or bad
