Unlike face masks, they do not provide an airtight barrier and therefore cannot fully protect you.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the lack of research and CDC recommendations, according to Dr. Poston, face shields bring several benefits to the table. They can protect the eyes from droplets and provide a barrier that may decrease the tendency for the child to touch a face. In addition, if your child has a condition preventing them from wearing a face mask, face shields can be the only alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;The biggest factor to consider when buying a face shield for your child is size,&#8221; <\/em>says Dr. Poston. <em>&#8220;It should cover the child&#8217;s face from forehead to below the chin and from ear to ear.&#8221;<\/em> She also says that it&#8217;s important to sanitize the face shield thoroughly and consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read a full article at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popsugar.com\/family\/should-i-get-face-shield-for-my-child-47683687\">Popsugar.com<\/a><\/p>\n<script language='javascript' type='text\/javascript'>function getWR360PopupSkin(){return 'light_clean';}<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an interview earlier this month, Dr. Leann Poston, a pediatrician and assistant dean and director of admissions at Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine, shared her thoughts and experiences on face shields in regards to CDC guidelines and not being recommended. &#8220;Since there is a clear barrier between your child&#8217;s mucus membranes (eyes,<span class=\"td\">&#8230;<\/span> <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-lm ts-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faceshield.com\/what-experts-say\/experts-weigh-in-if-you-should-get-a-face-shield-for-your-child\/\">More<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"read-lm ts-button\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faceshield.com\/what-experts-say\/experts-weigh-in-if-you-should-get-a-face-shield-for-your-child\/\" class=\"more-link\" title=\"Read More\">Read More<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","spay_email":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Experts Weigh In If You Should Get a Face Shield For Your Child - FaceShield<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.faceshield.com\/what-experts-say\/experts-weigh-in-if-you-should-get-a-face-shield-for-your-child\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Experts Weigh In If You Should Get a Face Shield For Your Child - FaceShield\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In an interview earlier this month, Dr. Leann Poston, a pediatrician and assistant dean and director of admissions at Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine, shared her thoughts and experiences on face shields in regards to CDC guidelines and not being recommended. &#8220;Since there is a clear barrier between your child&#8217;s mucus membranes (eyes,...
