Face masks on adults and children over 2 years old can help slow the spread(传播)of coronavirus. Here are some tips to help children wear masks when you go out:
Help children get used to(习惯)masks. As much as you can, give children time to practice wearing their masks before they may need to wear one outside your home. Teach them how to put them on and take them off.
Make masks together. If you make face masks at home, let older children help you. Some masks are easy to make, often with materials like T-shirts, bandannas, etc.
Help make it fun。 With younger children, try to play games with them. Children can dress up as a doctor or nurse when wearing their masks. They may want to "take care" of a toy ordol.
Get a few masks ready when children play. This lets them think about how to use them. It also helps make masks a more common part of their everyday life. You can ask your child to put a mask on a doll, and then ask him/her questions about why the doll is wearing the mask. If your child's reply shows worry, you can speak in a clear way to make them not worried.
