[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We declined a spot from a preschool wait-list in part because we don't want to mask our child and her current, less geographically.convenient school, does not require masking. She cannot wear a mask properly and we noticed a profound change in her behavior in social situations when she was masking. It makes me angry to think so many preschools are still digging in on this.[/quote]

+1 it does change behavior, as I discovered when we traveled to a non-masking area this year. so sad to see her light up in a way she never does in DC around people.

I declined spots at daycares for this reason as well.

Yep, I'm not against masking for adults at all (on the contrary, I think it's outrageous to drop requirements for adults while still requiring toddlers to wear them), and we are getting all of the vaccines we can get.

There has been science showing that masks are likely to impact social development for a while now (see this summary that still claims parents can "compensate" for any difficulties - BS but shows they aren't anti maskers: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/parenting-translator/202108/the-impact-masks-social-and-emotional-development ). Honestly some of the pro toddler masking contingent is very anti-science.[/quote]
