What an amazing illustration - really hoping we can help this dream to come true. Let’s listen to these important voices and continue working towards more inclusive, nurturing, understanding, empowering & flexible school environments ✨🌈

...if we don't teach children to separate feelings from behaviours then we won't change them Feeling angry isn't bad, punching someone is Feeling frustrated isn't bad, ripping down a display is Behaviour can be changed, but only when we acknowledge, name & accept the feeling

I’m looking for Educational Psychologists and Social Workers who have experience of joint working to support children and young people with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs for my doctoral research. Contact me for more information and please share! #eptwitter

Yay 🌟 The new chapters will be released this week for the EdPsych EBSA Horizons Course - both chapters include some fantastic and inspirational collaborations, bringing you the latest TEP research Rachel Sawyer Dr Mollie Higgins Daniel Cooper @ShannontheTEP @TEP_SarahB #twittereps

Really enjoyed contributing to this chapter around supporting autistic children and young people experiencing EBSA, excited for the launch- thank you EdPsychEd Dr Jerricah Holder

A year after qualifying, graduation was a lovely opportunity to celebrate the doctorate and reflect on the last four years! 👩🏻‍🎓

I wonder what changes between Y11 and post-16 that reduces exclusion so significantly? The learning environment, increased autonomy, flexibility, self-directed learning, students’ following their interests, more balanced relationships between students & staff…? 🤷🏻‍♀️

The power of exercise… 🧠💪🏻 and that doesn’t just mean structured exercise like the gym - walking, dancing, swimming, climbing and sports all count too. So important to encourage our CYP to engage in regular movement that they enjoy to keep their brains and bodies healthy🏃🏻‍♀️👟

neurofabulous.org.uk/praising-child… really interesting article by #Katy Elphinstone I’m often thinking with parents/carers/schools about how we praise children e.g focusing on the child’s process rather than output, indirect praise & avoiding praise as a mechanism for conformism-thanks Katy💭

An incredibly brave interview from Richarlison. Important to remember that seeking psychological support doesn't always have to be reactionary in nature. By incorporating & integrating systemic intervention within an environment we can develop psychologically flexible people!
