[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you really want her to wear a mask, then make it a condition of the thing she wants to do.  No mask, no playground.  No mask, no [insert the activity] and enforce it every single time.  If DC takes the mask off, you go home.  We only had to do this with our 26 month old a few times before she got it.  Now she wears a mask every time we go outside without any issues.   It is just a thing we do now, like wearing shoes to go outside.  [/quote]

This is way harder to follow through with when you have two kids. If the 4yo is being good, why do they lose playground time because of the 2yo's behavior? It's rarely an option to leave one kid home or with someone else if they don't comply, so the non-compliant one has to be brought along anyway and so you can't make that one's ability to come along to be conditional.

Who says I have 1 kid?  I have two, exactly the same ages, 4 and 2.  If we need to go home because the 2yo is being non-compliant, then the 4 year old gets a special treat at home to make up for having to come home early.   Like I said, we did it like 2-3 times, had a few tantrums, and then everyone got it.  [/quote]
