We need to put flourishing at the centre of children's lives. We need to stop asking 'how do we make this child go to school' and start asking 'how do we help this child learn?'.Only then do we have a hope of an education system which works for all. We surely owe them that.15/

The kid is my happiness. He brings me joy and wisdom in otherwise troubling times. He believes the key to happiness is passion but he's not naive to think life will always be happy. It's about ebb and flow. Ying and Yang. Ant and Dec. Wise boy.

I visited a medium secure unit yesterday and asked the psychologist there if he does therapy. He showed me this framework by @KimSGolding. I thought it was such a good way of showing the different intervention needs that come before therapy that I decided to draw it...
