I'm seeing so many pics of "new school", "new class" excitement that I think we forget just how hard change really is for kids. All the novelty and excitement can mask the anxiety, but once the novelty wears off, kids… instagram.com/p/B2AC_LPFfjL/…

There's so much pressure on parents to create the perfect child and this reminded me so perfectly of the power of relationship and why that is truly the most important thing 💖 instagram.com/p/B2U0O2QFbSd/…

I hold firm the belief that the greatest motivator in learning is not knowing the answers, but knowing just how much you still don't know. The mother of true learning is not people-pleasing, it is curiosity... Happy… instagram.com/p/B2XSncjFyNG/…

Trauma is not what happens around you, it’s what happens inside you. Excellent video from Gabor Mate - screenshots give a flavour. m.youtube.com/watch?v=BVg2bf…

Today we're launching our 'A-Z' #WellBeing activity cards: C is for Creativity... and 29 other ways to nurture healthy young minds 🌈 This is an interactive resource designed with Well Within Reach for teachers, creative practitioners & young people themselves. 1/3

A is for ACCEPTANCE We don't always need a resolution – being heard, seen & accepted is enough. Sign up for a pack of A-Z #WellBeing activity cards here 👉 forms.office.com/r/DwVrUp1t7s Designed by Well Within Reach #MentalHealth #Health

The power of 'hello'! It can fire-up or extinguish possibility for whatever happens next. Good beginnings and good endings influence so much of what happens in between 😊

Endings set the tone for the next beginning. Bad endings can hinder or hurt. Good endings help to heal any rupture and set a positive expectation for the next time you meet. Good endings matter. Make good endings count 🌄

G is for GRATITUDE Practicing gratitude creates coherence – a state where the emotional heart and the thinking brain work together. Sign up for a pack of A-Z #WellBeing activity cards here 👉 forms.office.com/r/DwVrUp1t7s Designed by Well Within Reach #MentalHealth #Health

H is for HOPEFUL Have something to look forward to – that's where resilience begins! How can you create something to look forward to? Sign up for a pack of A-Z #WellBeing activity cards here 👉 forms.office.com/r/DwVrUp1t7s Designed by Well Within Reach #MentalHealth #Health

Schools should be full of love! kids love school when they love being with who they’re with! Better brain chemistry = better learning! No brainer 🧠

Boredom kills learning! Let's take monotony and predictably out of the day! The brain loves anticipation and positive change. Bring on the dopamine 😉

Play is HARD WIRED into the human brain. How children play changes as we get older, but the desire to play never stops, full stop! More play please Winking face #jaakpanksepp #affectiveneuroscience #borntoplay

Let's teach children to question the answers, not just answer the questions. Authentic learning starts with enquiring minds ❓❔❓

Emotional regulation is 'Caught, not taught'. Be what you want to see 🪞#emotionalwellbeing

Our resolve doesn't always have to come from taking a person's sadness away, but accepting it-and our own discomfort if needs be- and letting them sit with it long enough to process and start healing from it 😌

Not only do children don't need to know everything, they can love not knowing! Because now WE know how important it is for children to embrace the unknown, not just to be prepared for 'what to expect' 🙂

I loved creating these cards for IVE Bridge and LOVE even more seeing them have the intended outcome... this is one card, approx 60 works and one simple activity. What difference could the whole pack make?!
