EBSNA isn't defiance, it's distress.

The solution? A team effort.

🏫 Schools: Be curious, not furious. Offer flexibility & a safe landing pad.

👪 Parents: Validate feelings & partner with school.
We must rebuild the bridge together.

If you work in education...

Your job is to inspire children to believe that they can.

Let them dream!

[Vanathi Webster @MsVWebster]

This is what is often missed in education. You don't need stickers and dojos to motivate children but you do need these three ingredients.

[Klidoscpe Educational Psychology Services @klidoscpe_EPS]

True student motivation isn't about rewards, but meeting 3 core needs:

🔑 AUTONOMY (Choice)
🔑 COMPETENCE (Mastery)
🔑 RELATEDNESS (Connection)

Unlocking these is key to better learning & stronger mental health 💪

@klidoscpe_EPS Absolutely! I've got a whole chapter on this in my book!

[Klidoscpe Educational Psychology Services @klidoscpe_EPS]

If any of my other school contacts want to take advantage of this please do. @WhitefieldPS is a trailblazer of a school that really does wonderful things for children.

I have no doubt this will be super informative and helpful!

Not only does this article highlight the agents at play for school avoidance -feeling disemboweled, low self-confidence from an over controlled environment, it also highlights how powerful attachment and a sense of belonging is for our mental health.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but for the past 3 years you said you’d prioritise your wellbeing and you didn’t so this year you have to.

@DeputyGrocott I saw a very small display of Christmas items and looked the other way!

[Vanathi Webster @MsVWebster]

@EPHoughton Can I pop you a DM about it?

[Vanathi Webster @MsVWebster]

@TTRadioOfficial I think this should be standard for secondary schools. The biology of teenagers has shown that their bodies don't wake up until later as their circadian rhythms are out of sync to other age populations. Working with development stages can greatly support academic achievement

[Vanathi Webster @MsVWebster]

@EPHoughton Love this! Very rarely hear people talk about ToM.

[Vanathi Webster @MsVWebster]

@nothingmadeup @norchcity It was just an example but I had experienced similar "pointers" in other schools. I did leave that school thankfully x
