[quote=Anonymous]My DD was 2.5 when Covid started, and by then time she was 3, wearing a mask was no problem. But I think young 2 is a hard time for masks. Unless they are unusually mature, it's pretty hard at that age to explain why you have to wear a mask. They might get it, but they also might forget it almost instantly. Hard to say. It's also a very... oral time for kids? They suck on their masks, and their fingers, and put other things in their mouths, and the mask gets in the way.

But by 3 it's a totally different story. The only thing that is still a challenge is putting the mask on -- she pretty much always still needs someone to do it for her, which I know is a pain at school. But, they are the ones who require masks (we'd be okay without it at this point) so I guess they just have to deal. The teachers must spend so much fo their day putting masks back on or trying to get kids to pull them up over their noses (mine never pulls her down, but a lot of kids this age do).[/quote]
