[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if you think that mask wearing causes speech delays, wearing masks beginning at age 2 wouldn't impact a 24 month milestone.[/quote]

It's not the kids themselves. It's that all adults around them are masked and they cannot watch faces to learn to talk. Think about it.[/quote]

Their parents shouldn’t be masked. [/quote]

Here we go again. Let's do the math. 8 hour workday + hour lunch + hour commute each way = 11 hours in childcare daily. 12 hours of sleep. Equals as little as one hour a day with parents on work days. [/quote]

Who puts their infants and young toddlers in daycare for 11 hours?? I would imagine anyone who possibly can tries to stagger hours with their spouse. Plus, you forgot about weekends. Unless the parents are on their phones all weekend and stick their kids on tablets. I actually think that’s the true culprit of societal increase in speech delays - phones and tablets.[/quote]

Single moms who have crappy jobs and can't afford a car so they have to be on transit, i.e. the kids who were most at risk of falling behind to begin with. [/quote]
