[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speech delay will obviously be an issue, but it is what it is. You do the best you can.[/quote]

why is it "obviously" an issue?  On the contrary I have heard from folks within the past 20 min that it has not been an issue with their child at all. So you never know (a diff post).[/quote]
How do you suppose toddlers learn to speak?[/quote]
Then why isn’t every single toddler presenting with a speech delay?[/quote]

Some people who smoke don't develop lung cancer. Which obviously means smoking doesn't cause cancer after all. s/ SMH[/quote]

Do you have the data on this ? Doubt it [/quote]

As in - the data about speech delays from masking or is this just your expert insight [/quote]

There are two questions here:
1. Is it a reasonable hypothesis that masks could case speech delays or issues with social development. You seem to think it is not because some children don't have speech delays. I do think it is a reasonable hypothesis, and so do experts. If you google this topic you will find studies showing that that it is hard for children to discern people's emotions when they are wearing a mask. Some experts say any harms will go away quickly once masks go away, but they cannot possibly know that. This is a huge experiment we are conducting with young children.
2. Is there proof that masks cause speech delays or issues with social development? No, there is not, everyone on this thread knows this. A lack of data does not mean that the people who are certain that masks don't cause harm are correct.[/quote]

so what are  your intentions reaching out to me? I reached out for positive stories so I can try to be optimistic  since I dont have other options. Should I form a protest? I mean youre welcome to write whatever you want , I dont make the rules,  but not sure why you are  bothering me when i reached out asking for those that had a positive story.

I'm not "reaching out" to you. I'm responding to an anonymous message on a forum suggesting that if all toddlers do not have speech delays then masks cannot possibly be causing delays. That just doesn't make any sense and is insulting to people who are concerned. Just because some toddlers are not vulnerable, does not mean none of them are.

I'm sorry if my stating that that logic does not make sense stresses you out. Parenting is stressful. Sometimes young children do have problems that you have to figure out how to deal with, and that is hard.[/quote]
