After that, let them know kindly but firmly that staying inside and not going anywhere is simply not an option.

The LO needs interaction and YOU cannot sit inside all day. There's no reason for it, IMO. No matter how late you were ONE time!

If they're a great family, they won't want to curtail his ability to grow and learn. If they won't budge at all, even just to give you a few trial outings to see how it goes, then they're allowing their paranoia to override their child's well-being -- and that's not so great.<br /><br />Good luck! this_nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00318803218118396311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-60906036309077414822015-04-24T18:30:52.278-04:002015-04-24T18:30:52.278-04:00Yes to library storytime.
