Reading the biological cues in your child’s behavior begins as early as birth, but those cues are easily misread when a child’s behavior is labeled “difficult” rather than hyperaroused.

"Something to think about:

The Earth is 4.6 billion years old. Let's scale that to 46 years.

We have been here for 4 hours. Our industrial revolution began 1 minute ago.

In that time, we have destroyed 50% of the world's forests. This isn't sustainable."

Someone (not in education) was surprised to hear that teachers have to set up their own classrooms.

She thought we had someone to do that for us and we just walk in the first day and start teaching. I had to explain it takes days of prep + physical labor. And we don’t get paid.

I'm filled with hope knowing there are many #SelfReg educators ready to greet children this September. #SelfRegSchools

Downplaying your achievements is not the antidote to appearing arrogant.

Humility is acknowledging your weaknesses, not denying your strengths. Generosity is elevating others, not diminishing yourself.

Owning your success doesn't make you a narcissist—it makes you a role model.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

When groups meet to brainstorm, good ideas are lost. People bite their tongues due to conformity pressure, noise, and ego threat.

A better approach is brainwriting: generate ideas separately, then meet to assess and refine.

Group wisdom begins with individual creativity.
