Currently reading Non-Violent Resistance by Haim Omer and finding it very thought provoking as a way to work with children who are at times violent. It’s an approach that draws on the non-violent approaches of Gandhi, Martin Luther-King and others.

They say misdiagnosis but struggle to name exactly WHAT misdiagnosis. We all know what it is. Just say it.

⭐☆☆☆☆ Looking at the Broadmoor holiday brochure and trying to find the part where 'mandatory treatment followed by an immediate return to jail' counts as a luxury getaway.

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

I see we have reached the “Broadmoor is a holiday camp” stage of right-wing discourse.

[Sarah @idlewildgirl]

A lot of people on here today seem to have got Broadmoor mixed up with Butlins, easy mistake to make I guess when your brain is the size of a Malteser

@IamCarrieagain I’m so glad your friend and her son have that relationship ❤️ co-regulation in action is so powerful

[Maddie (she/her) @ATattachment]

Some BCBA online is saying ‘planned ignoring’ is co-regulation and I really don’t have the energy to explain all the ten billion reasons why that’s a load of horseshit

[Dr Sanjoy Kumar @drsanjoykumar]

Fed up. Just spent 14 weeks at @nottsinquiry didn’t miss a minute as this was all I could do in my daughter Grace’s name against all those who failed.
Get to my desk and this is what I’m greeted with……

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

Reading purely for curiosity is one of the most underrated tools for your mental health.

[femiiiiii. @femiiiszn]

after reading a book, there are only two options:

1. ​forget everything 3 seconds later.
2. ​make it your whole personality trait for months until another book takes over.

[Summie's write @RuthSummie]

I don't mind people borrowing my books.
But if you're still on Chapter 5 after a month...
Respectfully, return my child.

Spot on assessment, no lie.

MAJOR BREAKING: Epstein survivors just announced they will release their own list of names.

“We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors.”

The government stalled.

Now the victims are doing it themselves.

[Maddie (she/her) @ATattachment]

All whilst marketing themselves as a trauma-informed organisation of course!!

[Maddie (she/her) @ATattachment]

I worked for a leading children’s charity a few years ago + still can’t believe they were running parenting courses telling parents to ignore toddler tantrums (where is the coregulation💔) + they were encouraging schools to remove playtime as punishment for neurodivergent kids😢

So if you suggest black people should be "melted down and used to fill potholes" you get elected a Reform councillor, but if you say "please stop killing Palestinians" you get called antisemitic and the government calls a cobra meeting. 🫠
