[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most but not all kids will cope just fine with masking. Kids are surprisingly adaptable, especially young ones.[/quote]

I think some people on this thread are confusing what kids can do with what kids should be doing.  Yes, my 3 year-old has adapted to wearing a mask every day, but that doesn't mean it's good for his social development to not be able to see the expressions of his classmates every day (or his teachers).  My son would adapt perfectly to eating goldfish and watching TV all day - that doesn't mean it's good for him.  Masks are not normal for small children, and all evidence I've seen says transmission rates between small children are very low.  Why is DC making small children wear masks while adults can eat out at restaurants without masks on?  It doesn't make any sense to me.  And btw, I'm not 'anti-masks' -- I can simultaneously be in favor of masks for adults and against masks for small children.[/quote]

I agree with this person. Also there is a big difference between 2+ and 5+. [/quote]
