no time she spends without one or both of us around her
10yo's aren't allowed out by themselves these days?

She could but there's nowhere really for her to go. It would just be for an aimless walk and she can do that kind of thing when we're all out on a walk.
She used to walk to her tennis lesson and back, or go to the playground a few hundred meters away but none of that is possible now as it's all shut.

Zoom calls with classmates/friends/family are seeing us through most of it, but the biggest thing missing is for our 10yo to be able to get away from us. There's now no time she spends without one or both of us around her. Sure she gets space within the flat, she can watch telly or sit/play/read in her room, but that's different from being at school where she gets away from us for 6-7 hours, or a playdate or sleepover with a friend. My wife or I can go on a walk on our own, she can't really.
