Face Shields for Kids

Face-to-face interaction is key to the education of our children, and we would also like to add that face shields are better than masks for students with learning differences, including autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), because they allow for full visibility of facial expressions that can help them read and understand social cues.

As children get ready to head back to school, there will be many options available in the classroom to keep schools healthy. In particular, face coverings.

For some parents who are concerned with how often their kids mess with their face masks, face shields may be the next best option. With a mask, you may find yourself constantly adjusting it and therefore touching your face, but wearing a shield doesn't really put you in a position where you're touching your face so much, because it's not as cumbersome to wear. That’s why some parents are turning to face shields as an alternative to face masks as they can be a bit more comfortable for kids to wear. 

Face shields are a good option for kids because they cover the entire face and make it harder for young people to touch or scratch their nose, mouth, and eyes. Also, if your child wears glasses, a face shield will eliminate the annoying fogging from masks and make it a bit easier to breathe. Plus, just like face masks, face shields come in adorable designs that kids will love. 

Face Shields are re-usable, easily disinfected and have a flexible elastic strap for comfort. Made with clear plastic which is easy to keep clean and lightweight to travel with, the shield provides a clear barrier in front of one’s face that doesn’t obstruct vision and allows learners the freedom to interact with their class safely.
