It's Hazy Outside

Dear parents, teachers and friends,

 

The haze is getting bad and it is important for everyone to wear a mask. However, it can be challenging to get our kids to wear a mask.

 

Here are some steps that you can try out with your child to get them to wear a mask:

 

1) Prepare a social story for them about the importance of wearing a mask.

 

2) Build tolerance to wearing a mask.

 

3) Model to them how we can wear a mask.

 

4) We could also do count down by using a calendar to get them to wear a mask.

 

5) Try to make the mask fun or interesting for them. For example, putting on stickers and drawing funny faces on the mask.

 

6) Or we could also show them a video of someone wearing a mask.

 

Here is an example of a social story that you could prepare for your kids and the broken down steps to wearing a mask!
