A: Oh, I love 4-year-olds (especially because I don’t have one in my home anymore). A 3-year-old may take a passing notice of missing masks, for instance, but will probably move on with the next distraction or emotion. Maybe the “unkind” person just got some awful news themselves, and the people not wearing masks don’t believe in getting sick. We don’t make excuses for others, but we can point out other explanations for what we see. Do you want to constantly stand in judgment of people (good or bad), or do you want to lead with your values and actions?
