Do you just imagine parents at home with their developing children, wearing masks 24 hours a day?

Or that they only learn how to emote and facial expressions from their limited interactions outside their home?

Wear a mask. The kids will be fine.

no thanks! I live in South Dakota and haven't worn a mask since the school system I work in lifted the mask mandate at the start of July, and before that I only wore it in the lobby of my building. everything's going great here! the bottom floors of my building are a YMCA daycare and I get to smile at and greet many unmasked small children every day, it gives me a tiny bit of joy coming and going from work. I appreciate the unsolicited instruction though, and the kids will in fact be fine.
