VIOLENCE AT HOME SIGNAL FOR HELP
Isolation can increase the risk of violence at home.
Use this discreet gesture from @cdnwomenfdn during a video call to show you need help:
1. Hold hand up with palm facing other person.
2. Tuck thumb into palm.
3. Fold fingers down over thumb.
When talking about our agendas for the day, I told my 5yo I was a little nervous about a meeting I have today. He said, “Mama, I am nervous all the time. I know what to do.” So friends, here is all the advice he could fit into the drive to school:
@WoollyWormhead My son has ADHD combined and the impulsivity has an impact on his ability to be subtle. The first thought that pops into many of our minds is the non-subtle one…his ADHD brain doesn’t stop him from letting that thought out.
@TWIV_ear@DrKateTO Thanks! Booked for Feb 2. Waited for 15 minutes to get into the Ontario portal, only to be kicked to Halton (where I started). Oh well…it’s booked!!
@kariebookish I want to see a post like this from every country. I’ll go for Canada: 9 had to take refuge from a blizzard in the kitchen of a poutinérie in Montréal. They developed a recipe for calorie-free poutine while singing Frère Jacques. The nation cheers when they are rescued!
