I was going to make a similar comment. S21 was a user of NYC public transportation during summer programs but otherwise had never traveled on his own or handled medical issues on his own. Now he travels on two planes to school, manages all of the arrangements and gets himself to and from doctors appts with my involvement only when he cant get an appointment (and he has multiple medical issues). S24 will have similar experices and I dont think that I as a kid was any different. Suburban kids are suburban kids, the pandemic didnt really change that.
