[quote=Anonymous]Just do what we do: we have a rule that DD can’t play with kids who don’t have masks on. She knows this and only plays with kids with masks at the playground, which is 95 percent of kids. She also knows to remind kids to put their mask up if it slips down past their nose.  If a kid without a mask tries to play with her and she forgets, I just call her over and remind her of the rule and she finds other kids to play with. A few times she said to the other kid, I’m sorry, I can’t play with kids who don’t have a mask on. It makes the other kids sad but that’s not my problem - if your kid can’t follow public health guidance for whatever reason that’s on you as their parent. Kids can be empowered to keep themselves and others safe instead of adults policing them. This gives them agency at a time when they have little. Outdoor transmission risk is low but until the mask guidance for kids is removed I’m making sure we are following it and our DD knows how to keep herself safe. [/quote]
