School after Covid 19: a child psychologist’s advice for parents sending kids back post-lockdown. Plus Kellyanne Conway’s legacy

The education secretary, Gavin Williamson, has told the Evening Standard that opening schools in September is a "moral imperative". Where does that leave parents who are unsure about the risks, or children who haven't seen a classroom since March? Child psychologist Emma Kenny gives advice on how to talk to young people who may be worried about the health and social risks of going back to school, and warns that we cannot raise a generation that doesn't understand how to take risks.


Also, Kellyanne Conway, the White House adviser who invented the phrase "alternative facts", has quit just as Donald Trump's election campaign ramps up ahead of the November vote. She says she needs to spend more time with her family, as her own husband leads a Republican revolt against the President and her 15-year-old daughter says she wants emancipation from her parents. Columnist Matthew D'Ancona tells us her declared reasons for leaving may not be "the whole story" and she will be remembered not as the mastermind behind an extraordinary election win, but as the woman who ushered in the post-truth era.
