A study of over 300 children ages 3 to 6 found that little kids can often tell how people are feeling, even if that person is wearing a face mask
Little kids can often tell how people are feeling, even if that person is wearing a face mask, a new study published Monday found.
There has been some concern that the face masks used at school during the pandemic may be hurting younger children's development, but this research letter published in JAMA Pediatrics suggests that kids recognize emotions about as well as they could without masks.For this study, researchers from University Hospital Lausanne in Switzerland showed 90 pictures at random to nearly 300 children ages 3 to 6. The photos showed actors who expressed joy, anger or sadness.
"The risks of contracting Covid from not wearing a mask are probably going to outweigh any slight issue about communication that kids might have," she said. As a developmental psychologist, she thinks there are many more aspects of the pandemic that could hurt a child's development, like from the social isolation they've had from peers when they've had to stay at home from school or if a parent were to lose a job, for example.
