Wearing a face mask is a new experience for everyone. It may be especially frightening for kids. Here are a few tips to encourage wearing and proper handling of the masks.
Talk about it. Empower them by sharing how wearing a face mask gets them involved in the fight against COVID-19. Remember, wearing a face mask helps to slow the spread of the virus by limiting the transmission of large respiratory droplets, germs and splashes.
Make sure you are wearing a face mask too! This will let your child know they are not alone and that you too are doing your part to slow the spread of the virus.
Put a face mask on their favorite stuffed animal or toy. Share photos of other kids wearing a mask. Showing kids like them or having their favorite toy wear a face mask will help to normalize this change.
Remind them not to touch their masks. Keeping their hands away from their face will help prevent the transfer of germs from hard surfaces to their masks.
Washing hands is key to slowing the spread. Encourage them to wash their hands before applying and removing the mask.
Doing laundry? Don't forget your face masks. They can be washed and dried up to 75 times.
Only a few rules:
- No fabric softener
- No bleach
- Wash after every use
