We Shouldn’t Worry About ‘Catching Our Kids Up’ In School This Summer “This year has been downright traumatic — kids are suffering. They need a damn break.”
I’m thankful we will be able to spend more time outside this summer. My partner has been taking my son to the playground after school so he can run around and be with his peers a little. One of the hardest parts of this year has been not having a place that could serve as a physical outlet. This kid hasof energy, and like I said, we live in a small space. He needs a few hours to run and climb and jump off things. In summers before COVID, we’d spend hours at the playground.
Pope also shared with Vox the importance of kids having time this summer with their peers. “Kids need to be around other kids this summer,” she explained. “They need to practice those really, really important social skills, communication skills, friendship-building skills,” which are things that are crucial for their development which they didn’t get much of this school year.
