First time dad of an 18 months old baby.
She won't be going back to the daycare and will have a full time nanny.
What are some way to ensure that she is still getting exposed to other and not socially awkward? I am thinking to sign her up for some activities when things slow down with Covid but I'm not sure If that's enough.

Keep it simple. Do things like toddler programs at the library, going to the playground or even just eating out at a restaurant helps develop social skills.

You don't need them to be super social butterflies to learn social skills, just get them out and have fun.

Library time was clutch for us. Also just have your nanny take them to playgrounds. Most of the adults I’ve seen at playgrounds wear masks and socially distance. Obviously that doesn’t work for kids, but for us it’s an acceptable risk.

Dad of four. Completely agree with acn1. Additionally, if you can make the activities consistent, with the same group of kids, it will help to build relationships/friendships. The kids really start to look forward to seeing their buddies

I joined a new team and have noticed something off with my Director over the last months (slurring speech, no show to calls or even full days of work).

In confidence she told me she can often smell alcohol. How can I help? I feel helpless. I’ve already lost someone to addiction and I can’t ignore this. Any advice?
