I am curious how those of you with young kids are handling masks for your children.
I know airlines are saying anyone over the age of 2 must wear a mask and I have seen heated arguments about this.
My kids are all in their 20's/30's now. But, I think that I would have been able to train them to wear a mask at around age 2. We did not have any kids with developmental delays so that is a different story.
My thought is that I would get my kids used to wearing masks in public. Possibly using bribes like a sticker system or a treat, even a toy. Maybe my kids were simply pretty compliant, but I feel that they would have worn a mask at age 2 without a huge issue, especially if they knew that's what big kids do. Does children's television programming promote mask wearing? Or do kids now not really watch television shows vs. using tablets?
So for those of you with toddlers---is it difficult to get a 2 YO to wear a mask?
In my area people are very mask compliant, even including small children.
