[quote=Anonymous][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]

+1.  Also there's a pretty wide gulf between a 4yo and a 2yo.  M 4yo mostly wears it fine now, but my 2yo?  Struggle every goddamn day.  It's against biological instinct to have your nose and mouth covered up all day.[/quote]

it's also against biological instinct to wear clothes and yet.  yes big difference between 2 and 4 but repetition is key and if consistent even the most sensitive will eventually get it .  2-5 year olds and kids in general are better with masks than adults [/quote]
