Looking forward to facilitating a workshop at the Calm Conference on May 21st ⬇️

Our primary 4 teachers were changing the affirming messages on their doors that help welcome children. They understand the importance of ensuring children feel emotionally safe in school. This is what teaching with love looks like. Imagine how it feels? Suzanne Zeedyk

This afternoon, I welcomed a group of parents who are participating in the Family Wellbeing workshops. A great start looking at emotional regulation and exploring scripting to support children develop the language necessary to navigate emotions.

The cooking club made cupcakes this afternoon. It is always a joy to listen to pupils discuss who they are going to share their baked delights with #BakingCake #LifeSkills

'Did we just shift from corporal punishment to psychological punishment? Is that what exclusion, isolate & shaming with public reward systems is?'
From an attendee at today's nurtureuk event. I salute their willingness to ask uncomfortable questns.

Great explanation of how unprocessed emotions get stored in our bodies, impacting our physical health. It is fundamental that we support children to develop emotional literacy so they can express themselves (to a listening adult). Love this video!!

We are delighted to feature as a case study in this new book written by the fabulous Sarah Lathan its packed full of important information, ideas and concepts that are so current in the trauma informed narrative 🌵

Look what arrived today! I'm so excited to start reading it. What an amazing piece of work you have created Sarah Lathan Critical Publishing #CreatingaTraumaInformedClassroom

Lying is a stress response. Children lie to protect the adults or protect themselves. It takes emotional safety and trust for honesty. The reaction to lying sometimes says more about the needs of the adults than the children. Not in this case. Well done, Ricky

Such a profound story about abuse and trauma responses. Compelling and uncomfortable. Starring and written by Richard Gadd, who has shown immense courage to share a story based on his own experiences. I can't stop thinking about it. Baby Reindeer

Amazing work is being carried out by lots of dedicated schools across Scotland 👏

Let's be committed to not saying 'committed'.

Suicide has not been a crime in the UK since 1961. When we use terms like 'committed suicide', we make the issue more difficult to talk about and prolong the pain for the person's loved ones.

What should you say instead? Read on...

Trauma responses aren’t choices. We don’t sit down & calmly decide between fight, flight, freeze, fawn, or flop.

When we’re triggered, our nervous system makes that decision for us.

Most adults can’t regulate their emotions but expect their children can.

I know Twitter is alive w/ teachers tired of chaotic & scary classrooms. I also know that last night's MIND in MIND discussn reminded me why we should keep talking abt attachment theory. Understanding it is helpful to those teachers. Here's a key book & some quotes.

The best wellbeing conference yet!! I'm bursting with ideas and inspiration. Thank you to all who were involved in making #TakeGoodCare a memorable day 🙌✨️❤️

Your childhood experiences play out in your adult relationships.

If you don't deal with what you've been through, the person you're dating will.

Amazing start to the #TakingGoodCare conference. 'The opposite of the experience of stress is the experience of kindness.' Fascinating learning about the physiological impact kindness has on our health Dr David R Hamilton (he/him) Wellbeing In Fife
