It’s tricky to have a playdate when you can’t be close enough to actually play.
During the height of coronavirus restrictions, roughly 316 million Americans – nearly 95% of the population – had been ordered to stay inside in order to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. Now, even with some states slowly reopening, schools remain closed and gatherings are still banned in most places, and kids are cut off from one another — and bored. They’re also separated from grandparents and other high-risk loved ones because social distancing is one of the few tools available to slow the spread COVID-19. To fill the gap in socialization, some families have turned to video chat services like FaceTime or Zoom to stay in touch. (Though, given some privacy concerns about Zoom, you might want to try something else, like Jitsi Meet.)
