I have always been tempted to write a prescription that reads “Go out and play” just to see how the parent responds.
Turns out, there is no better time than this – nearly three months into the social distancing, no public gatherings and shelter-at-home requirements to prevent the spread of COVID-19 – to follow that exact recommendation.
As a pediatrician in Kenner Army Health Clinic, I have observed how this situation has not been ideal for people in general. They have been affected physically, emotionally, socially and economically. For children, there is another vulnerable plane, developmentally.
