[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is also 26 mo and won’t wear a mask or a hat. We’ve tried rewards. We’ve even tried just leaving the park if he takes his mask off, but I don’t believe he understands the relationship between the two things. By the time we’ve left the park (and he’s stopped the epic tantrum that ensues), I don’t think he remembers it or that he realizes the reason we left is because of the mask.

I’m at the point where I’m like, come at me bro. I don’t care. Yell at me at the playground. Call the cops. I’ve done my best. We’re still going to the park. If you’re that scared that my barely turned 2 year old might make your kid sick, maybe you shouldn’t be at the park.

You know in Europe, masking isn’t even a thing for kids under 5.[/quote]

+100. I live in a VERY liberal area in a very liberal state. People wore masks everywhere even before the mandate. Under state law kids under 5 don't have to wear a mask, because it's not evidence based. Per my pediatrician, a 26 month old playing outside has a close to nil chance of contracting it.

I wear a mask everywhere, even outside. But putting one on a young toddler is cruel during a terrible time for them. If I lived in DC I would tell people to call the cops. [/quote]
