We have not yet even begun to experience the tip of the iceberg.
Most of these kids were thrust onto screens, both for school and babysitting purposes, while their stressed-out parents tried to navigate working from home.
When they finally returned to daycare and school, everyone was in masks.
This was a crucial time of development, and they missed the boat... Remember this: NO STAGE CAN BE SKIPPED!!! If they didn't get it when they were supposed to, it will be up to US (everyone: teachers, therapists, parents, doctors, community members) to teach these skills.
Humans are resilient, crafty, and adaptable; they will always find a way to survive. It is up to US, collectively, to help them thrive.
