The #ScienceOfReading involves adults doing their job and reading up on COVID, so they can protect children.

Though my wife has shown them Violet Affleck. She comes across as much more reasonable than I do! My children would give up on masking pretty quickly if I overwhelmed them with research. #ScienceOfReading

I don't show my own children research on COVID - that would be terrifying. I don't show them COVID Safety for Schools. I don't show them Clean Air for Kids. I don't show them Violet Affleck at the UN. #ScienceOfReading

There are around 470’000 studies into the effects of COVID on health. But it's not very likely that children are going to find this resource, or read these studies. That's actually good news. #ScienceOfReading www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/research/cor...

My children are barely aware of Long COVID. It's our job to know about that. Not theirs. #ScienceOfReading I don't use the phrase “CC” around them. Though they are very bright and can work out what acronyms mean. They wear their masks and get on with it.
