Never more appropriate than right now...

“The range of modules were extensive, and each one gave me fresh impetus to tackle challenges at work. Aside from the necessary qualification I needed, UHI helped develop my workplace confidence and an enthusiasm for life-long learning.” Dominic D’onofrio

I don't post much anymore but it feels like a necessary tradition after years of study and periodically sharing progress. Final BA Childhood Practice assignment now submitted with @ThinkUHI. Done. Just like that. What a journey.

Next challenge... 🤔

A slow burning project that has been full of lovely learning and connections 💙.

The right quotes come at the right time...

“Can anything be sadder than work unfinished? Yes, work never began.” - Christina Rossetti

@dr_aMachin So sorry to hear about your loss. There's nothing that can be said that makes it easier but your work means his impact lives on and supports/inspires other dads.

Today's session at Ferry Dads was all about playdough. There was lots of creative mess and scientific discovery on display!

Challenging the harmful limitations we place on boys & men is vital! #GenderStereotypes #ImagineAMan #EarlyYears

[Challenging Gender Stereotypes @GFNScotland]

We are delighted to see the @NKBLScotland #ImagineAMan toolkit launched this week. We think promoting positive masculinity should start early & have loads of suggestions of how early years professionals can play their part too. Here's some! #EarlyYears #EYFS #EarlyChildhood

The more I think about this. The more it makes sense...

What a great quote:

[Dominic @Dominic_ELC]

Another year of uni done and dusted! 5,443 words submitted with a broken wrist is a challenge I wasn't anticipating but one I've somehow managed 💪. Here's to the next chapter...

[Dominic @Dominic_ELC]

@Mr_Minchin This is absolutely genius! Such a workable, cheaper solution. Thanks for sharing.

[Dominic @Dominic_ELC]

@dmasmusic It's stunning. Prime DMAs for me. In the same league as 'Silver' 👏

If you haven't already, then watch this. So many points that hit home personally and professionally.

Be human.

[Dr Anna Machin @dr_aMachin]

George should stick to what he knows which is quite clearly not the science of parenthood. Men are as biologically primed to parent as women & the bond with their children is just as powerful and vital. It’s time these myths stopped being perpetuated. https://t.co/5O7M16d1jt

💙 Observation of moments like this!

[Queensferry Primary Early Learning & Childcare @QueensferryELC]

A small insight into a hugely warm moment. Connection, independence, support, belonging, enjoyment, sharing and a love for the dinosaurs - We give you... snack with our children!
