Massachusetts doesn’t hit peak for about eight days. I can’t imagine anyone is thinking about when baseball can resume. Would you want your kid in a host home this summer? Or in reverse, would you want to host players?
I’ve allowed my kids go off and do things that make me nervous, because they’re out of site and control. I do so, while advising them to be smart, make good decisions, be aware of your surroundings, etc.
If summer ball is open, it’s because we’re making progress, so, yes, I would allow my son to play if he was comfortable with it. Same advice will apply.
Would you allow your son to make the decision regarding whether he’s safe at a host family’s home? How would he know?
I’m reluctant to answer your question as I’m not interested in continuing the endless back and forth that has taken over this site. The point of my original response was, COVID or something else, our kids can be confronted in unsafe situations. If COVID were completely eradicated next week, they could still be confronted with dangers at a host family, college dorm, etc.
We all want our kids to be safe, but they need to learn how on their own. So yes, once he’s back on his own, whether at a host family or back in the dorm in September, we’ll talk to him about things to look out for and how to address them.
