A key to regulating emotions is to treat them like visitors in your home.

"I'm angry" lets a feeling take permanent residence. "I'm hosting some anger today" is a reminder that not all guests are welcome.

Emotions may drop in unannounced, but we decide which ones get to stay.

"In an environment where kids are saturated w/achievement messages that make them feel like their value is contingent on the college they get into... on how they play on the field, the job of a parent in those environments is actually to do the opposite." #parenting

[Dr. Yael Schonbrun @DrYaelSchonbrun]

For parents struggling with the question of HOW to raise happy, healthy, successful kids in our toxic achievement-oriented culture, Never Enough by @JBrehenyWallace is a game-changer.

To get a glimpse into the book, check out my interview with Jennie:

"If the core purpose of school would be expanded from academic intelligence to holistic learning, wellbeing and health, making equity really happen would be easier." https://t.co/UAESVuMVLx via @abcauatra

"What can we learn from history to help all students and children thrive as equally valued human beings?" Sharing an interesting webinar 📣

[Fair For All @fairforall_org]

Join FAIR in Education THIS WEDNESDAY, 8PM ET, for our webinar 👉 Teachers, Identity, and History: Lessons from Rwanda 🇷🇼

We will explore the role that education played in the polarization of Rwandan society prior to 1994, and lessons that we can learn from this tragic part of history.

In particular, we will present research and primary sources that reveal patterns that emerged in classrooms in Rwanda from 1961-1994, focusing on the role that teachers and curricula played in normalizing racial and ethnic stereotypes that fueled inter-group conflict, undermined students' sense of belonging, and gave rise to identity-based oppression in the classroom and beyond.

Our goal is to learn from history and answer the following question: What can we learn from history to help all students and children thrive as equally valued human beings?

Oof. This takes me back to working in publishing: "As the head of one major children’s publisher told me sadly, 'We’re not publishing books; we’re publishing people.'"

"Every week I see promising new work that I know will not find even modest financial success."

@FeminaStudiosa @meganljenny @FreeRangeKids This is exactly how I think of the library. Love going for the books, but also bc it's a great sandbox for them to exercise independence--browsing alone, finding the water fountain, summoning bravery to ask for help independently, socializing, etc.
