[quote=Anonymous]I'm an anti-masker for young children because my child started displaying atypical behavior (for which she is now receiving therapy) when she turned 2 and started being required to wear a mask. While the mask most certainly did not cause her condition (other children in her daycare did not have the same issue - it's not very common), and for a variety of reasons we have kept her in the mask, I do have a lot of concerns about how masks are affecting young children in terms of their speech and social development. Most children will be fine, but we don't know which children will be impacted and often these issues are not identified until later when they are harder to treat.

It's not surprising that I am in the minority. If your child appears to do fine, I get why you would prefer the added security of children wearing masks, even though masks play a relatively small role in preventing transmission of COVID (especially cloth masks worn by young children in child care settings). But, to me, I'm kind of stunned that as a society we made super sure the vaccines were safe, but can't even tolerate simple questions about the potential harms of masking young children.[/quote]
