| Here is another potential harm: "Using the "Still Face" Experiment, in which a mother denies her baby attention for a short period of time, Tronick describes how prolonged lack of attention can move an infant from good socialization, to periods of bad but repairable socialization. In "ugly" situations the child does not receive any chance to return to the good, and may become stuck." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apzXGEbZht0&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR1ahQwrpAFaHLDaM4G8DcMqHGAp8VgtpL1jIHN8w81LECzAA12jc77b2A0 2 minutes 48 seconds The scenario is similar to face covering with a mask in that the baby is confronted with an expressionless face. I don't think we are the point yet where this is an issue because masks are not (yet) required at all times. The baby is at an age where most interaction is with mother but at an older age, children need to experience the wider social world to learn how to function healthily as social beings. Are the mask enthusiasts comfortable with running this experiment with the psychological well being of the next generation? |
