Being trauma aware does NOT mean: no boundaries, ignoring behaviour, letting children get away with things! It means: understanding the root causes of behaviour and dysregulation, using natural consequences that make sense and supporting children.

One of those days that it was just a joy to be a part of at St Mary's Polbeth . Celebrating writing, reading and community all round the fire pit with hot chocolate and 'smores. Such a buzz! Amazing job everyone ...
