Wow! More important things to do than support your child who is having a really difficult time!
It’s the important work of parents to be alongside their child and support them to understand their emotions and learn how to manage them.
I hope this has been taken out of context!

[Good Morning Britain @GMB]

'It's about working collaboratively with our children.'

'We as parents have got far more important things to be doing than trying to reason with a toddler!'

The naughty step: is discipline damaging? 🚫

What triggers you? We have become familiar with this word as something that upsets our calm.
I love that it has an opposite called glimmers!
Be a glimmer seeker and notice the effect on your mood and ability to manage stress #weekend #mindful #EmotionalWellbeing #stressrelief

[Melanie Fisher @Mel51e4]

Learning how to manage stress is an essential life skill for our mental health and well-being.
We teach this in early childhood by role modelling and being alongside children until they can do it for themselves.
Co-regulation is necessary for the development of Self-regulation

@childcareedexpo
Working with parents to understand what their children need and how EY educators are key to supporting them with their child’s behaviour - using neuroscience and relationships as the basis for the conversation. Difficult conversations need bravery

One of our year 5 children has recently lost her mum. We were writing persuasive letters in English this week and she wrote this gorgeous letter. Any kind of message or response would be amazing. Please share. @DUALIPA @MrBoothY6 @Mat_at_Brookes @Talk4Writing @JamieThomasTFW
