I'm prone to hairpulling and nail biting myself, so I'm pretty sure it's a response to stress and social isolation and lack of intellectual stimulation and lack of routine. I can't be everything for her.

We decided not to send her back to preschool in the fall because seriously how the fuck are preschools opening up again? 4-year-olds are not going to socially distance or wear masks all day. We have people in their lives, but they still need a lot more than we are capable of giving them.

    I am glad my little guy isn't 2 yet. He hasn't seemed to notice the whole thing too much. I did notice a bit of a regression in his development earlier on in the pandemic, but he seems to be back on track now. I feel really bad for the kids that are old enough to get it, but not really old enough to get it.
