[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It actually is harmful to kids this young. [/quote]

Evidence? [/quote]

Where is the evidence that drinking a glass of alcohol once a week during pregnancy is harmful? There isn't any, we just know that alcohol is toxic so many people discourage it.

We know that masks impact social interactions negatively https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2020.582191/full

We know that young children are in critical stages of development and that social skills are among if not the most important aspects of development at this age.

It's common sense that this might impact young children negatively, especially those who already struggle with their social development.[/quote]Ive talk to a couple preschool directors that have said it’s impacted their kids negatively to have masks on them. [/quote]

Yeah my DD's teachers would tell us that DD would not talk with her mask on- I don't know if she struggled to be understood (likely, as she was muffled) and just stopped bothering, or what.  Then at lunch with the masks off they said she'd be a chatterbox. If our daycare hadn't gone mask option when they did we would have looked into switching. One of the teachers also thought there were issues with kids not being able to see facial expressions as leading to more conflicts.  This teacher still technically wears a mask herself but IME is always pulling it down to talk to and make faces at the kids.   DD always talks about this one kid being "mean" but I really wonder if he is doing mean things or just misunderstood with the large KN95 covering up most of his face.[/quote]
