[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think PP provides some great tips and things to try.

Based on your description though, it sounds like your DD was close to 2.5 when you started masking, not just turned 2. And even still, it sounds like it was truly a months long process to get where you are now.

I still think masking of just turned 2 year olds is going to be incredibly difficult, and very different from working with an almost 3 year old.

I think when you’re out of the weeds with 2 year olds, it’s easy to forget how stubborn and defiant they can be, and how you really have to pick your battles.

PP here. Yes, she was about 2.5 when we started training her to wear a mask. I agree that trying to mask a just-turned-2 year old would be tough and would probably wait a few months to start. Like I said, I don't think it's a big deal to see 2 year olds out and about without masks (though I would avoid bringing them inside places).

I do want to note, though, that if you think a parent of a 3 year old is "out of the weeds" regarding a stubborn and defiant young child.... hahahahahahaha. Oh, girl, I'm sorry. But no. They do not get [i]less[/I] challenging at 3.[/quote]
