“A child struggling in an unnatural environment is not a natural consequence.” I heard someone say that about public schools yesterday And it perfectly sums up what so many kids go through A public/traditional school is not a natural environment for most kids -Sitting under

It was such a privilege to be invited! Thanks for having me and thanks for all the important work you do. Great team! @FoyerFoundation

Do you have a mentor? I had the privilege of recording a podcast with mine this week. He shared how his own mentors shaped his career and he now knows he did the same for me. Mentors are critical for your early career in trauma-informed practice. Episode coming….

Not sure I want to open this can of worms… But, can we please talk about female pro boxers being sponsored by (and promoting) Only Fans? It’s hugely disappointing to me. What message are we sending to girls and young women about their role models and their own place in sport?

It was such a privilege to record a podcast with my long term mentor, Graeme Baird. This episode is great for anyone working in out of home care, youth/social work and alternative schools. He’s a wealth of knowledge! open.spotify.com/episode/51pBQW…

Running some training for CRT’s this afternoon through the Teacher Learning network. 😊 1. A session on responding to behaviours of concern 2. A session using brain breaks and movement to support learning. Both draw on so much of my old classroom practice. Should be fun!

Asked teachers for examples neuroplasticity in action. Best answer I’ve ever received. “A road speed limit changed from 100km to 80km and I got pulled over by police for doing 100km. I said my brain was wired to driving 100km’s down that road everyday and got out of it.”

I learnt so much in this convo. On pain, embodied healing, story, humanising health care, learning environments, wellbeing science.. man.. Kit Wisdom is a gem! #podcast open.spotify.com/episode/0crp5k…
