So I really don't know I'm very curious how it's going to go in the future I don't know if my kid has any social anxiety from being like born in the pandemic granted he was born towards the end of it but I don't know I'm curious how it's going to affect him because I definitely have social anxiety from it and iamb like I think twice not twice like I think like five times before bringing him anywhere you know I'm nervous to do the indoor playgrounds to let him do the mommy and me classes so I can play in the kids room at the library like I just 2nd thing triple think double check sanitize everything so I know I have anxiety from it and I know I keep us home more so I'm really curious How that's going to affect him what do you guys think how do your kids handle it anybody have toddlers who were like actual 2020 pandemic babies how do you think they deal with being in the public and going places do you think that they have social anxiety do you think that they're going to have social anxiety I don't know he's only 10 months old so I haven't really seen it with him yet and honestly like I said I have so much anxiety we don't go enough places to see if you would even get anxiety
Oh I am not a mom but I just had two nieces who were born during pandemic times and they are so social I think they're actually kind of smarter but I am not sure
I think that's you thinking for him. I think that you just need to allow for your kid to actually beat a kid. Your child doesn't know anything about social anxiety, So don't speak that into your child.
I think it probably depends on the kiddo I definitely feel like the pandemic can play a big part in the social anxiety factor but like for example my son was 18 months when the when the
When the pandemic started so he wasn't exactly a Covid baby but their pandemic baby but kind of like a pandemic Tyler but anyways you know he was sheltered for a while not really around people but he's like the friendliest guy I will just copy
Like he has no fear at all to talk to people new people people you know he's known before just to make a friend out of everybody but then our baby he's not really a pandemic baby I mean he's been around more people he is very shy
I think every kid is just so different I don't know I think they're gonna be who they're going to be regardless like I know environment does play a factor and like what's going on in the world but I think at the core of it every kid is just who they are
Like they're just who they're going to be and they're all so different and unique like it's so cool it's so fun to watch especially with all my stuff because I have five and then my son is my first biological baby and it's just so interesting like all the different ages
I think it definitely depends on the kid. I have two pandemic babies and neither of them have social anxiety. They're shy but they definitely don't have social anxiety.
It also could just be from the fact that we didn't really stay indoors during COVID. We still went out and we did stuff and we took them to the grocery store. Like we didn't really hide indoors. So I really think it just depends.
I definitely agree that I think it's going to depend on the kid just like normal it might I don't know I just wonder if there will be an increase because of it but I don't know like every kid is different and some kids could've had it anyway
I don't really know if that made sense what I mean, but I just mean that I wonder if like 10, 20 years from now there will be a study that comes out about about how the pandemic affected kids in different ways if they did see like an increase in social anxiety.
Or like an increase and people who choose to homeschool or do virtual school like I know for us we ended up keeping our older kids in virtual school because we just ended up preferring it
So a lot of the pandemic babies I do know like my nephews a pandemic baby I think that they're not necessarily sheltered but it is easier for them to be shy but I don't see anything wrong with that I think it's completely normal
