As the saying goes: "Expect the unexpected." Given the school closings in our area, and, throughout the state, I'm so glad that I introduced my sons to the hobby at an early age! My oldest son has become an interested hobbyist, but not really an "enthusiast", with the hobby as a principal avocation. He has built a nice layout in his basement for his family, and, particularly for his three young boys. Now, the four of them have substantially more time to enjoy running the trains together, and playing with the layout. I'll plan to send them a few videos of my layout, so we can talk about running the trains together.
I "lost" my youngest son to the first "Super Mario Brothers" video game, as the early Nintendo consoles became available. That was one way he enjoyed spending some spare time after school -- often with friends. Times change, and the ability for a young person to occupy time in an enjoyable manner is valuable IMHO, as long as it doesn't result in neglecting other things that need to be learned and accomplished.
But, teaching my sons about the hobby, and, encouraging the grandchildren to similarly enjoy the hobby, has provided a significant benefit as the available time has become more plentiful.
