[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are no reasons to mask in a childcare setting. You should find a new daycare or, rally parents, so that everybody can speak up.

[b]Do they eat inside? Do they nap? All of that is done without a mask so masking in that environment is pointless.

Honestly, I’m surprised daycares are still masking. [/quote]

How are people still this uneducated this late in the pandemic?

Cutting down exposure, either by limiting the number of people someone is exposed to (masking at times when a kid is moving around the classroom, but not when they are sleeping with probably 2 kids within a distance where transmission is more likely), or the time that they're exposed to them, absolutely reduces viral load which both decreases the likelihood of transmission, and the severity of illness.

I'm not saying that you should or shouldn't mask your kids.  Masking is up to you and the decision should depend on a variety factors including the health risks of members of your household, and your tolerance for missing work and having other family members miss other commitments.  [/b]

But judging people for the bolded is a sign you are clueless.  It's like saying that if your child doesn't wear a seatbelt in one situation (let's say an ambulance ride) there's no point in wearing one in another situation.   [/quote]

Another factor is whether your child has issues with speech or socialization and struggles to be heard/understood with a mask on, which can lead to frustration and/or safety issues.[/quote]

+100. I am multilingual and had professional diction training and I struggle to be heard and understood behind a mask; I can't imagine what it's like for little children still learning to talk. [/quote]

Thank you. I really can't understand why in the United States specifically there has been such a strong reaction among liberals against people expressing concerns about young children masking. These concerns are real and valid and no it's not just parents trying to make excuses or be in denial about developmental delays. And the fact that some places have decided children need to mask when adults do not is just..I can't even.[/quote]

Many liberals in our country are obsessed with Europe and want the US to adopt many of their practices (healthcare, childcare, work life balance, etc.) They basically self destructed upon finding out that Europe didn’t mask kids. But then doubled down of course 🙄[/quote]
