[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has nothing to do with covid, but get a speech evaluation.  The wait and see works with some kids and can really harm other kids.[/quote]

I don’t really think it’s fair to declare that this has nothing to do with covid. We just don’t know. Kids are isolated and constantly around masked people. Of course this could result in speech delay. To suggest otherwise is just ignoring one possible cause.[/quote]
+1 why do people make these proclamations about topics they know nothing about? Plenty of anecdotal evidence of an uptick in speech delays. I think this is just the tip of the iceberg.[/quote]

There is a huge body of research that kids born during times of social disruption often experience delays; why a global pandemic should be different is beyond me.  The mask thing makes no sense as an explanation, because children born during the pandemic are all babies or young toddlers, and aren't in school (so no masked teachers) and presumably spend most, or at least plenty, of their time at home with their families, who are not masked.

Right. Melanie is just a right-wing anti-masker. Kids are just the excuse. [/quote]
