[quote=Anonymous]That’s too young. We are teaching our 3-5 year olds that they need to wear their masks to “take care of babies who can’t.” Your child isn’t old enough to wear a mask and not touch it or play with it and it will do more harm than good. If you are really fixated on the social responsibility thing, you can loudly narrate it to your child if your out in public: “that big boy is wearing a mask! He’s so kind to think of other people and help keep you safe! When you’re a big kid you can help babies, too!”. But just keep that script in your head because it would be annoying to hear. Seriously, a mask on a kid that young is weird and performative, don’t do it. You can help by grabbing your kid if they get in other people’s spaces or being generous towards parents of older kids who are wearing their masks properly.[/quote]
