I have an 18 month old daughter and work 2 days per week. She doesn’t go to nursery, family provide childcare for us.
I’m extremely concerned about the effects of COVID on her social development, in particular building social skills with other children.
I spoke to my HV and she suggested letting her play outside with other children, so she’s starting to build her social skills in as low risk way as possible.
However my parents aren’t happy with us doing this while they are providing childcare. They aren’t high risk for the virus but think we should be following the guidelines completely.
AIBU to be upset that they are stopping my daughter from having any social interaction with children her own age? I do respect their opinion but I’m worried about the effect it will have on my daughter.
