The Daily Signal - Psychologist Explains Long-Term Effects of Masking on Kids

A great deal of psychological development occurs in the early years of a child’s life. So, what happens when that development is interrupted by a global pandemic? How do things such as social distancing and mask wearing affect our children long-term? 


“Part of the way that babies stimulate themselves when they are out in the world is by noticing faces,” clinical psychologist Chloe Carmichael says. 


In addition to developmental delays, Carmichael says masking and remote learning might have contributed to increased levels of anxiety in children. 


Carmichael, who is also the author of “Nervous Energy: Harness the Power of Your Anxiety,” joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss what we know about the long-term effects of COVID-19 protocols on children. She also offers parents some suggestions for how they can help their kids make up for lost development over the past two years. 


Also on today’s show, we cover these stories:

  • The Senate passes a $40 billion aid package for Ukraine.
  • President Joe Biden welcomes the leaders of Finland and Sweden to the White House to discuss those countries possibly joining NATO.
  • The man accused of killing 10 people at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, is indicted by a grand jury on a first-degree murder charge.


Enjoy the show!
