It's not how much we give but how much care
we put into giving.

In schools,children's psychological needs start with & are prioritised by basic brain map management & how the brain is organised. Starting with basic requirements for human survival. Safety,love, & belonging.When we meet their needs, we unlock their potential.

Forest schools can be adapted to the seasons, this group of boys got creative with a baked potato and some Holly! Such a change from the classroom especially at this time of year! #forestschool @PKCnurture

When setting expectations regarding pupils,we need to remember where they are developmentally.

There may be a gap between your expectations & their capabilities.

What has happened to this child developmentally due to a lack of social learning opportunities?🧠🌱

[Gerry🧠🌱 @gerrydiamond71]

Fear doesn’t teach control. It teaches distance.
Choose connection. Choose understanding.
That’s how children learn to trust, think, & grow.🧠🌱
