while trying to finish her senior year online. Tran places a lot of pressure on herself and dreams of becoming an optometrist.

"I don’t know what to do with myself," said Tran, who found herself too out of sorts to even doodle.

In just one month? How instable are your kids? Have more confidence in their ability to cope with problems. And most important speak to them. Become their friend in this strange situation. You'll learn something. SocialDistancing

Please stop with this sht!!! Kids willbe just fine!

My kids collect aluminium cans..then crush them. I put my kids to work.

Better to keep your children ALIVE!

Probably, one more reason they can't trust people.

It’s screwing everyone up. This is a communist mind fuck.

kids prefer using devices while among their peer group, friends.Not caged inside socialdistancing with parents trying to help with COVID19 virtual classes

Who comes up w/this? Do we just create phys/psych maladies to sale papers? Parents of 5% of US kids r convinced of need for ADHD meds. 6% of adults think they’re gluten intolerant (& not tested). Now kids will be emotionally stunted ‘cause they’re home! We wonder how we got Trump

Regret to hear that on my kids too but let's survive first thereafter refill it!

Yes and I’m not a psychiatrist

The parents aren’t helping. They get on social media and complain about their kids nonstop and having to help them with school work. It’s awful. God forbid you have to parent.

Yes, it most likely is. Most children and teens are social creatures. Too long in their homes without seeing friends can drive them insane... literally. That is why my neighbors have said 'Bleep social distancing!' and are scheduling playdates among friends and family!

It’s better than dying. That would have a big impact

If these parents are worried of their kids emotional development. And not thier health so be it. Send them out in public at parties, social gatherings. These parents MUST BE MAGA.TRUMP SUPPORTERS.

*is, not are

You got to be kidding!!! LOL! What next...really, what next? My dog is depressed cause I'm at home all the time...he maybe suicidal!

it is. and that's really really sad.

I have news for those parents. Giving your kid a cell phone, computer, or tablet without limiting their time on it already did the job as far as screwed up social skills go. Hell, there's some adults that no longer know how to act right, let alone developing children.
