I have seen people posting about that. He's only 6, and I could see him just getting all wild. When we try to call my dh's family and do video calls, he just get super wound up. I'm not really sure he'd know what to DO with his friends. I've seen older kids playing games, but that seems hard for a 6 year old.

He surprisingly really hasn't talked about missing his friends. I think he's kind of enjoying this. He's talked a lot about wanting to do "school at home" and that the work at school is too easy, so I think he's enjoying having more freedom and challenging work. We're only on day 3 though...

I also forgot to say in my first post that I've seen a lot of schedules of doing x at this time and y at this time, but that doesn't really work for us. I prefer the list of things to get done and he can do them in the order he wants.
