CDC says children should wear face coverings. Here's how to get them to do it. - TODAYshow
Dr. Jamie Macklin, a pediatric hospitalist at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, stressed the importance of not allowing babies and children under 2 to wear masks.
"We don't want to count on kids remembering," she said."If we're going to send them and say, 'Drop this outside Grandma's door and then leave,' we might tell that kid not to get within 6 feet of other people on the sidewalk or whatever, but it doesn't mean they're going to pull that off. It's a reasonable time and place to say, 'If you're going for a walk, you should wear a mask.
Gilboa also cautioned that parents needed to remember that masks aren't meant to prevent children from contracting the coronavirus. To get kids more on board with wearing masks, Gilboa said it's important that adults"model the behavior that they want to see" from their kids — which means they should wear masks whenever their kids are being asked to wear masks. Gilboa added that it's important for parents to have empathy while still enforcing the boundaries.
