Psychotherapist @LucyBeresford on late night @BBCWorld News tonight, talking about the pandemic, using terms inc ‘cortisol’ & ‘fight or flight’, saying “our bodies aren’t designed to live with uncertainty like this for extended periods”.
Absolutely inspiring to read @maternaljrnl written by very talented authors @godfrey_isaacs & @missmcgowan, aimed to promote positive mental health & wellbeing through the parenting journey. Truly wonderful concept.
Okay, whilst Twitter rages w/ reaction to t latest comments abt whether children are born “bad”, I thought I would post the new chapter title just published by one of the leading infant scientists in the world: “A moral conscience seeking kindness from birth”
So today I was in a primary where the head wants children to eat lunch in silence. I was with the very youngest who, since they could talk, have not had enough opportunities for informal social interaction. What on earth?🤦🏻♀️ #nohopeforrecovery
It often takes us mums by surprise just how much these tiny humans can flip our world upside down & make us rethink what matters in life. Until we experience it & go on this very unique journey of motherhood, it’s hard to imagine how things will change.
Why Home Birth Matters is a clear discussion of the reality of modern home birth, which aims to show how the home environment supports and powers the birth process, while encouraging parents to consider how it might work for them.

There has been a lot of talk of preparing new school starters over the last few weeks and lots of discussions about how to help them with big feelings as they settle in, but one huge missing part of the conversation is talking about how the *parents* feel.
This morn finds me at Edinburgh Sheriff Court. One of the sentences in my report? “Infant attachment experiences are core to the development of a person’s self-regulatory system.”

I think we have to talk about how we write about children in the #EducationalPsychology profession. I think by now most will have heard the "write it thinking the child will read it when they are older". But I think we need to go deeper than that. 🧵
