Great listen! 🙌 Children are Attachment seeking not attention seeking 🤔 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/tes…

The part of the brain that drives emotion develops more rapidly than the part of the brain that controls emotion - childrens capacity for regulating and controlling emotion is not there yet. Imagine a toddler driving a Ferrari! 🧠 Could listen to @PeterFonagy for hours! 🤔👌

Thanks @PivotalEd and Crisis Prevention Institute 🙌 #attachment #characterbuilding #community

Couldn’t agree more 👍 reminds me of the story told by Sir Ken Robinson sharing an anecdote about the dancer Gillian Lynne 🤔 He retells Gillian’s story of how she became a dancer and at one stage someone thankfully told her mother ‘Gillian isn’t sick, she’s a Dancer’ 🤸‍♂️🧠

For me a huge part of Emotional Intelligence and building character is about people possessing the ability (and self confidence!) to hold a conversation and recognise/interpret the feelings/emotions of others 🗣 Thanks Howard Gardner 😃 #EmotionalIntelligence Daniel Goleman

Thanks Lisa 😃 one of the first things we say to young people (any age!) is to ‘think’ before we act/speak! 🗣🧠 Particulary ❤️ the ‘classrooms to be cultures of thinking’ linking to staff CPD and role modelling desired behaviours ✍️👣 @RonRitchhart building #culture 🧩

So important that we adopt a ‘person first and player second’ mentality when it comes to guiding students through competitions 🏀🗣 Respect for the opposition and emotional control matter most 🧩🤝 Coach Carter - I tied that bow youtu.be/kczHhenWdiE via YouTube

Totally agree with Malorie Blackman who said “reading is an exercise in empathy; an exercise in walking in someone else’s shoes for a while.” 👣📖🙌 Thanks Tes magazine for the recommendations 📚👍#buildingcharacter 🧩 #empathy 🤔#compassion 🤝 #Powerful 🤯

Like so many, I strongly believe the ‘soft skills’ or ‘life skills’ are vital for students to succeed in life and flourish 👣🧩😃 #EmotionalIntelligence 🧠#culturalcapital 🗺 #socialskills 🗣 #empathy 🤝 tes.com/news/why-more-…

Brilliant, thanks for sharing Jeremy Dodd 👍 For me, this links to one of the quotes I really like from @PeterFonagy on a Tes magazine podcast about the need to ‘strengthen the community of bystanders’ in schools #culture 🗺#character 🤝 #peercommunity 🧐 #socialengineering 🗣🧩

Thanks EEF 👍Always interested in the different ways to establish relationships with parents/carers and sharing information surrounding the values/vision of the school 🧐 This communication is key in order for the community to build an attachment with students 🧩🤝

Couldn’t agree more Wim Hof 🙌 Exploration 🗺 adventure 👣 self sufficient expeditions/treks/hikes 🎒 travel 📍wild camping 🏕 any experience which involves a period of time spent with nature allows us to appreciate what we have and perhaps what we take for granted 😁#curious

More and more, people in education agree on the importance of schools' paying attention to stuff other than academics. But the terms themselves can feel a bit murky. ow.ly/uOBy50CSTff
