Experts are split.
| A roundup of new guidance and stories from NYT Parenting. |

Since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its mask guidelines earlier this month, a lot of parents of children under 12 have been feeling bereft and left out. Unvaccinated kids were not specifically mentioned in this new guidance, and parents wondered: Where's the advice for us, and our kids, who won't be vaccinated until the fall at the earliest? |
Claire Cain Miller, Margot Sanger-Katz and Kevin Quealy asked 828 experts, including epidemiologists and pediatric infectious disease specialists, about what activities unvaccinated children can do, both masked and unmasked. The advice to glean from this piece is instructive, but perhaps not entirely satisfying, because the experts don't uniformly agree. |
For example, the reporters asked 105 pediatric infectious disease experts: "Is it necessary for children to wear masks at outdoor playgrounds or while playing outdoor sports now?" While 17 percent said it is necessary, 47 percent said it is necessary only if the kids are not vaccinated, and 36 percent said it's not necessary. (The C.D.C. still recommends all children wear masks during youth sports.) |
As with much of the decision-making around Covid, some of these choices will come down to your individual appetite for risk; your family's health overall; the level of local transmission where you live; what is best for your child's mental and physical health; and what the state and local laws indicate. While I would love to be able to report fully definitive recommendations for parents, that's unfortunately not the world we're living in. |
And finally, we want to hear from fathers: When do you feel most like a dad? Maybe it's while you're building pillow forts, soothing boo boos, or being the in-house pancake chef. Or perhaps it was the day you cursed under your breath while installing a car seat for the first time. We want to learn about a moment when you realized you've settled into your role as a father and found comfort there. Please email us here with your name, age, location and a sentence or two about reaching peak fatherhood. |

Every Friday includes a stop at the library to collect books on hold or grab some colorful covers from the kid shelves. No one gets to look in the bag until Saturday morning, which means they are excited and eager to read while we get to sleep in a little to start the weekend! — Debbie Tola, Boulder, Colo. |
