The number of educators who do not understand the biological organisation of the brain & how this processes incoming information is unbelievable. I see this at my workshop presentations.We are in the business of developing brains. We need to know about this. My wall display 🧠🌱

Joyful June is here #kinder #happier #together

If a brain is stressed, worried, or afraid, it can't learn.We need to help more children to be successful. 🧠🌱

Children understanding their window of tolerance is important in doing trauma work or just working with children in schools.This teaches children how to manage their emotions under stress by giving them a toolkit of inner resources to self-soothe & keep within their window. 🧠🌱

We are ready with our themed weeks for the next academic year and you can sign up for them now too. 🔗e-sgoil.com/dyw-live/event… e-Sgoil DYW Scotland Education Scotland #NeLO

Co-regulation is not about doing something to a pupil. At its root, it's about positive relationships & how one nervous system responds to another.Pupils who did not receive co-regulation develop self-regulation skills to react or suppress uncomfortable feelings & emotions.🧠🌱

Most parents wish that their kids grew up in a world with no social media. Same level of regret as for alcohol and guns. Smartphones and Youtube were lower. Bicycles were regretted by only 9%, despite kids sometimes getting hurt on bikes: The Harris Poll nytimes.com/2025/06/18/opi…
