What do you mean by "wait it out" OP? Wait it out until kindergarten? Of the folks I know who are still masking, they have no plans to stop in the near future- they're waiting for "better" vaccines, treatment, etc. That could take a while.

+1 We were early adopters of not masking our child when they took the mandate away. We were not shunned by the community or the school. It was fine.
Same. For a while DC was the only one not wearing a mask, then a couple more, and now a lot fewer wear them (still some, but a lot less than a few months ago). Someone has to go first- there can't be that many parents that truly believe it's appropriate at this point.

I am against toddler masking, but calling it child abuse is downright offensive and irresponsible.
Agree. It is rooted in good intentions. It's a very misguided choice, though
You had a “We <3 Fauci” lawn sign in 2020, didn’t you.

That tracks. You seem like someone who would get personally offended by most things. Except child abuse apparently 🤷‍♀️

It honestly only bothers me like... 10%. It's annoying because it is so out of sync with everything else and makes no sense - but it is not actually harming my particular child. The official policy is optional. When it finally switched to that in the last 6 months, there were a few days where classmates showed up without. It quickly reverted. The administration says no one is masking outside, but I see it every single day. It bothers me only on a scientific / "this makes no sense" level, not a "my child is harmed" level.
I swear we are the last classroom in the country doing this. I am inclined to just wait it out, but frustrated at the teachers pressure on this.
Is this post seriously from April of 2023 or did I just hit the wrong button in the DeLorean?

Your poor kid. Why haven’t you switched preschools? Or sent her without the mask? Have a backbone. Please.

Your child likely doesn’t even remember the time before everyone starting masking. You desperately need to help him transition. He’s likely struggling to ditch the mask. It’s cruel to not help your child do this.

Ive talk to a couple preschool directors that have said it’s impacted their kids negatively to have masks on them.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:It actually is harmful to kids this young.
Evidence?
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.

I live in Seattle and we stopped masking last Spring. I actually had to double check the year of your post. Preschoolers are still masking in Spring 23? I think it is silly

Child is thoughtful and considerate.
How is wearing a mask outside thoughtful and considerate? It has zero impact on anyone what the child. They can do what they want, but let’s not pretend a preschooler masking outside somehow has superior morals to non-masking preschoolers. There’s something else going on.
OP have you asked why they are still masking outside?
We got covid outside at the pool.
Doubtful. One of you probably got it in the bathroom.
Bathroom, nope.
