Dear Families,
If you are looking for a developmentally appropriate way to explain to your preschooler why some people are wearing masks when they go out, HERE is a simple script you can use.
If your child will be wearing a mask, practice using it at home so that he or she can get used to what it feels like. Be sensitive to whether your child is comfortable with how it feels.
