@Lixy_Cat @JohnRadoux Oh dear.

[Jo Howard @johoward30]

@JohnRadoux It's v difficult. I guess if we're short on hand sanitisers etc surely that means everyone is being vigilant, which is a good thing.

[Jo Howard @johoward30]

@JohnRadoux On fabric surfaces 6 - 12 hours. On your hands 5 - 10 mins but a lot can happen within those 10 mins of touching etc. Drink regularly. It thrives on a dry mouth. Once swallowed the stomach acid can kill it. Doesn't like heat as it's nit heat resistant.

I wrote a blog for @TheEIFoundation about ACEs - specifically, the problematic nature of checklists & the importance of relationship-based practice & critical thinking.
I namecheck @andykturner @RosEdwards2 who are both excellent thinkers in this space. https://t.co/QhVaBSIfa0

We can build brains with every interaction.
We don't need special education or tools, just curious, engaged, responsive, compassionate, empathic, interested humans.

Sophie is 7 years old. She’s being encouraged by someone online to take off her clothes & dance in front of the camera. Her reward? She receives likes. Sophie was being groomed & her story provides a cautionary tale. Read Sophie’s story here: https://t.co/Nb76xWOTXQ

[Jo Howard @johoward30]

@JohnRadoux I absolutely agree!

Signs of trauma can appear as a lack of ability to focus, complete a task, or process new information in an efficient manner, thus impairing learning.
