[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a child with actual language delays this post makes me cringe.  Your baby will be fine. There’s nothing wrong with their ability to acquire language and unless you parents aren’t interacting with your kids, there’s no reason your kids won’t acquire speech normally [/quote]

That doesn’t make sense to me.  My baby is in daycare with masked teachers for the vast majority of her waking hours.  I hope you’re right but I don’t see how their can’t be Speech delays as well as bonding issues.  But, again, I hope I’m wrong and definitely see it as the lesser of two evils (the greater evil, to be clear, is covid). [/quote]

DP. My DD was home from March to August last year (12-17 months old) and we started early intervention during that time because she had no words. When she started daycare with masked caregivers, her speech exploded. Of course, it may be she would have learned even more without the masks, but I don't think the effect, if any, is very significant.[/quote]
