Attended a truly inspiring, moving and motivating training event with @Lads_Like_Us this morning. Danny and Mike had me captivated and I've had an afternoon of reflecting and sharing with colleagues. Thank you for sharing your stories. #traumainformed #askwhy

What are we teaching our babies during the @first1001days. Early childhood trauma can change the blue balloons to red, leading to greater life adversity @Gemdocherty @DrKateAbbott @LisaMarsland3 #IMHAW2022

@KarenJBateson @Oxpip @suzannezeedyk did a brilliant thread about the safe experience of anxiety in peekaboo which I thought was fascinating https://t.co/6Pj7wx5CC1

Babies are born connectd. They travel t cycle of safety-threat-safety zillions of times before they can walk or talk. They can only do that in t company of other people. Let me show you that cycle in a simple game of Peekaboo. A THREAD for your Sat morn.

@BenMacCam So sad and sorry to hear about this. Ben was so warm, funny and kind. You are in my thoughts.

Infant Mental Health is simply the start of where our mental health begins. It is vital that infant mental health is looked after during the @first1001days Infants develop good mental health when they have strong bonds & secure relationships with their parents/caregivers #IMHAW21

@YMrscolley Aww, they'll love this!! 😍

Babies begin to understand words by hearing them over & over. You can help your baby to learn more words by commenting on what they are doing rather than asking them questions - keep it simple & say what you see!

Your baby will hear from around 15 weeks of pregnancy. This is a great time to begin to talk, sing or read to your baby. Babies recognise and are soothed by familiar voices; they move or go very still inside your belly when they are listening

#KnowsleyEarlyCommunication

[NW Boroughs NHS Child Health Services @NWBH_childrens]

The Knowsley Early Years’ Service and North West Boroughs Healthcare are working in partnership to launch a five-day campaign around the importance of promoting early communication in the Early Years.

We would love as many people as possible to get involved in the campaign.

@YMrscolley Happy Mother's day to you too! Thank you for making our children feel safe and valued, without which they wouldn't be ready to learn. Thank you for everything you do so well that isn't in the curriculum (and that too)! 💕

@YMrscolley after screwing up his first two attempts, Jonah finished his self-portrait. He looked at it and said "it looks like Matt Hancock!" 😂 🙈

[Kate Abbott @DrKateAbbott]

@YMrscolley It definitely helps that the children have such good provision. Friends with children at other schools have been tearing their hair out with homeschooling from day 1. We are very lucky to have live lessons and so much of your time. Thank you!

[Kate Abbott @DrKateAbbott]

@YMrscolley Merry Christmas!! Hope you. And your family have had a lovely day! 🎄 🎀 🎉 🎁

[Kate Abbott @DrKateAbbott]

[Kate Abbott @DrKateAbbott]

@YMrscolley Thank you! Thank you for taking such good care of them all too, can't be easy. Hope you have a good break! 🙂

[Kate Abbott @DrKateAbbott]

@Y2Mrsa Thank you for all your hard work and for helping us keep the little people engaged and motivated. I've learned a few things too! Hope you have a well-earned break over summer! 🙂
