No debate on anything you've posted AND I would say that children perceive and receive differently than the adults. My daughter's response to mask wearing when this all started---? "Cool! We all get to pretend we're playing doctor!" She thought it was silly and funny. No fear. No worry. We don't talk about COVID being bad or complain about the the things we can't do because of it. We talk about it as a passing part of my life. We talk about the new or different things we've learned or have gotten to try. I can't shield her from the other messages out there but I can say she's experiencing this as another curiosity of life. <3
