      No biking, learning to bike?. I recognize this is especially tough because of different age groups, different locales, family rssources, pandemic social distancing. I like including a list of chores, though we did far more: e.g. shoveling snow, helping w/ groceries. I hope this isn’t suggesting parents get to choose only 1 chore. No shooting each other w/ water guns? I can’t imagine my childhood development without family pets. Also much exposure to adult conversation, activity — though probably not for every kid.
