I’ve now spent time with the same kids pre and post months of masking. Apart from the aphasia type slowness to express or relate to facial expressions, and the negative speech impacts, there is another serious harm per my observation: masked-at -school kids are so used to having to save on expended energy due to restricted breathing that even when they are unmasked they don’t move around like normally raised kids…they don’t run, wriggle, scamper, dance on land or even leap about when in swimmimg pools. They just…sit. Or they just…hover and drift. Disembodied. You never have to tell them to come back or sit quietly as they are becalmed anyway like Stepford kids. Scariest impacts on kids I’ve seen in my life.
