[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don’t understand why people are jumping to dismiss this possibility. You are masking two year olds without any clear data that it is reducing cases in daycares, so why are you so quick to dismiss other concerns without concrete data.

It makes me really sad that if you even raise the topic of masking two year olds, you’re jumped all over as a dramatic, terrible parent. Parents seeking assistance for speech- delayed toddlers has risen during the pandemic. That is a fact. Jury is still out on what is causing it (masks, isolation, attachment parenting, whatever). Why are you dismissing masks in daycare as one possible cause for some children?  Because it’s easy to dismiss these kids when its not you kid?[/quote]

Parents may just have more time to deal with it. [b]I know many families that just ignored it to hope their kids caught up[/b].  Others even delayed school a year vs getting them help.  [/quote]

School and daycare closures make this more possible.

I think anyone faced with this decision needs to factor in that if you're not sending your child to daycare and you're not socializing in person much, is your child only interacting with their parents or nanny? That's not normal. A daycare with masked caregivers is probably better than no socialization at all. If the nanny can do playgroups that's different.[/quote]

We aren't socializing that much and my child has a language disorder.  I can tell you masking and lack of socializing didn't cause it as it started long before covid.[/quote]
