[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I challenge any pediatrician to say that keeping your mouth covered while speaking to a baby or toddler might not have any speech development consequences. 
However, one may certainly debate exactly how severe the consequences will be, dependent on endless individual circumstances.[/quote]

Then, if you are so  concerned, don't send your kids to child care and keep them home and talk to them all day.[/quote]

Wrong answer. Withdrawing our kids doesn’t fix the problem. Some of us may be privileged in that we can afford to pull our kids out temporarily or permanently, but change is achieved when people instead stay where they are and advocate to make the system better for all.

Not to mention - I like my job and am not quitting [/quote]

I’d add that we have kept DD at home. I took a break from work and then individual child care. She has great language skills but I am worried about her social interactions. She doesn’t see other kids often and now that it’s winter we go to the park less or go and few or no kids her age are there. So you change one set of problems for another. [/quote]
