Riley's parents in #InsideOut made things harder for her because they couldn't listen to her sadness. It was too scary to think that they had caused it. When adults have the courage & patience to *listen* to children's feelings, things change. Behaviour shifts. Trust renews.

I don’t know what to do except keep saying that. I hope it helps us step out of confusion &overwhelm into curiosity.
Here are some of my notes from this morn’s call w/ a Primary School. This is some of what they are coping w/ daily at primary level.
She had blue skin,
And so did he.
He kept it hid
And so did she.
They searched for blue
Their whole life through,
Then passed right by-
And never knew.

"Do you really care about the NHS? Will you keep the NHS as it was always intended to be? Prove it to us."
This is what nursing staff would say to PM @RishiSunak if they had one minute with him.
It's exactly what has led to the #RCNStrike.
RT in solidarity with nursing.
Can we stop having royals and politicians using foodbanks as a photo opportunity? I can’t imagine how foodbank users must feel when they see people who live in castles and massive houses fingering their cheap no frills pasta as they grin at the camera - just stop it

Please RT if you believe the NHS is worth fighting for 💙
As nurses and paramedics ran towards a deadly virus without PPE, Tory MPs wheeled suitcases of booze in to Downing Street and partied till they puked.
Never forget, never forgive.
#NursesStrike
NHS nurses hold the hands, tend the wounds, save the lives, wash the dead. They comfort us, console us, diagnose us, save us. They toil & smile & endlessly care.
Not a single NHS nurse wants to strike tomorrow. They’re desperate.
Please show NHS nurses some love. Please RT 💙
