[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It Is no big deal for kids to wear masks -- our 4 year old has been doing it all year, and is the most covid-cautious, rule-abider in our family.[/quote]

exactly.  it's a reflection of the parents for kids who can't do it.  [/quote]

You can’t know this. Kids are different. My 3 yr old wears a mask pretty comfortably, but I know kids her age with sensory issues for whom it’s really challenging. Their families wind up staying home a lot because they worry they will be shamed or considered Covid deniers. I’ve had strangers on the street make snide comments to me if they see my kid without a mask (because she was taking a sip of water or her mask fell in the mud, things they don’t consider), so I can only imagine how hard it is for families whose kids struggle with masks.[/quote]

That’s why it’s important for the preschools to be understanding. My daughter is 4 and wears her mask fine, but the school has made it clear that, with this age group, they are going to remind the kids to wear their masks, but will not push it to the point where the kid gets unduly upset, especially if they know the kid has sensory issues.
