Wearing A Mask Affecting Our Children’s Development
For adults, the need to wear a mask can be inconvenient. For children it could be（①）. Masks

disguise key cues in our expressions, making it harder to read someone’s face, and there is growing
evidence that this could be affecting child development.
Child carers【 A 】 wear masks while at work say it is difficult to establish a relationship of trustwith children because they have to conceal their mouths.
Professor Myowa Masako says adults must be especially careful about interacting with infants fromwhen they are born until they are about a year old. That’s the age at which babies are studying people’s
faces and learning expressions.
Babies need to see the eyes, nose and mouth to recognize a face. As the months pass, they learn todistinguish emotions such as joy or anger. This ability forms the foundation for understanding otherpeoples' feelings.
Myowa says that only adults can communicate using just their eyes. She says it’s important to givebabies opportunities to see peoples' facial expressions. She advises family members to show their faces totheir babies at home even （②）.

Elementary schools in Japan are reporting that masks are having adverse effects on their students,including more unruly behavior as masks disrupt communication.
Professor Myowa says children between four and ten years old are developing the ability to empathize,
to imagine what others think, and how to respond.
Children normally have ample chances at school to put themselves in someone else's shoes, but masks
in classrooms mean the opportunities are much scarcer now. She suggests that teachers should consider
how to create those opportunities for students in the current situation.
Myowa says body language can compensate to some degree, and recommends that adults express theiremotions （③※ adverse 悪い） for children of preschool or elementary school age.
unruly 手に負えない

in someone else’s shoes 他人の立場でempathize 共感する
compensate 補償する
