Parents of children younger than 5 say they feel left behind, watching others reclaim normalcy while they stay home with kids who are too young to be vaccinated and have to quarantine when there is an exposure to the coronavirus at day care or school.
Others are ready to end restrictions. Yelena Rodriguez, a licensed speech therapist in Los Angeles with children ages 3 and 6, worries about the impact of prolonged restrictions on children’s social, emotional and speech development. There has been no in-person story time at the library, no visits to the infant and toddler play group she enjoyed with her older child.
Ocampo, a nurse practitioner, said her employer has been understanding. But “especially lately with just seeing how frequent the exposures are,” she said, “there’s a lot of anxiety and worry,” about having to call out sick from work and, of course, about her son’s health. Huffman, 37, a therapist for Contra Costa County, said that while his children’s day care is taking covid-19 more seriously — which he commends — elsewhere it seems to be the opposite. Local restrictions are being lifted, and Huffman said he has to return to the office, giving him less flexibility than with remote work.Elizabeth SchroederSchroeder received the news that a vaccine would not be immediately available with a sense of numbness.
And they also got vaccinated. Schroeder has arranged for Edward to get his shot on his 5th birthday in March.Schroeder was up late doing a sleep study with one of them at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center when news broke thatShe called Craig the next morning. “There have been so many changes, it’s not going to happen,” she found herself saying, through tears. “Don’t get your hopes up.”
But after a year with no cases, Jubilee Jumpstart was hit by the virus in mid-December. Like dominoes, seven children and eight staff members came down with the coronavirus, prompting closures that, combined with one snow day and an icy morning, meant Ilias had to be kept home for an entire month.Argueta, 34, was left with one option if she was to keep her job and provide for Ilias and her two older children.
