Well one my kids has had an open sore on his mouth for months because of the mask. Im equally as fascinated by parents who find masking their children to be totally fine. They don’t really have a say in this and I don’t believe for one second that kids would rather wear a mask than not.

> Im equally as fascinated by parents who find masking their children to be totally fine. It's not "totally fine." We're all tired of the masks, sure. I just don't think they're actively harmful. > They don’t really have a say in this and I don’t believe for one second that kids would rather wear a mask than not. Heh, I don't have to tell you, I'm sure, but there's a lot of things kids would rather not do.

  > Heh, I don't have to tell you, I'm sure, but there's a lot of things kids would rather not do. Indeed, but in your previous comment you said “masks on their face not a big deal”. I take it that is how you feel about it and not how they feel about it. Maybe we should think about them a little more is the point - adults have clearly been wrong about everything.

  Anyone that is in a situation that is trying to establish new relationships with people and understand each other emotions during so in as contentious a situation as figuring a new person out would have found a mask hugely inhibiting. Grown-up that have never change their social circles for year will not be able to empathize. Nomads definitely do and understand what kids have to go through as they are trying to navigate the world and understand other human being from scratch.

    Exactly. I volunteered at my son’s kindergarten class one day and saw how difficult it was for them to interact with each other let alone pronounce words. I was not the same dad after that. I’m curious if the parents of young children that feel masks are NBD have spent time in the classroom.
