Practicing at home and talking as a family about why it matters help kids learn to mask, according to local dad Kevin Ngo, who developed a filter mask with help from his family.
Careful, compliant mask wearing has proven hard for adult Americans to pull off – so it can’t help seeming like an ominous obstacle for families and educators contemplating a return to classrooms, activities and, someday, summer camps. But local program directors have been testing how to reopen small camp sessions since last June, and they, like local school districts testing the water with limited in-person attendance, have learned a lot about the capacity of kids to do better than we imagined.
