Tamilisa Miner via Getty Images Getting kids to wear masks can be a struggle. “A mask fits properly if there aren’t big gaps between the skin and the mask,” said Dr. Niket Sonpal, a New York-based internist and gastroenterologist and adjunct professor at Touro College. “Take these things into consideration.” “Try to figure out that right fit for your child’s face, so that it is kind of snug but not pulling on their ears or bothering them,” echoed Nelson, adding that if the mask is loose, your kid will definitely mess with it more. It could take some trial and error to find a good fit, and many mask vendors are experiencing delays, so it is not a bad idea to plan ahead and make sure you’re stocked up. “Wearing a mask is a skill, and it’s a skill that we have to learn,” Nelson said.
