Trauma can make us feel unsafe in our bodies,even if everything around us appears to be safe. Recovering from this is a complex process & not just as easy as telling someone to "get over it." It literally changes how your brain & body functions.

[Dan Wuori @DanWuori]

Want to light up your baby’s brain? Think “serve and return.” 🎾

Much like a tennis match, serve and return entails back and forth interaction during which adult and child trade conversational (and other expressive) turns.

This father/daughter duo provide a fantastic example.

Only 8 weeks old, baby “serves” by reaching out for her father’s attention - making eye contact, sticking out her tongue, and cooing.

Her adoring and attentive dad, meanwhile, “returns” - mimicking and extending her cues and vocalizations.

As the two participate in this mutual exchange, neural connections are strengthened that support the development of baby’s communication and social skills.

More than just your physical presence, your baby needs periods of your undivided attention - so be mindful of screen time and other distractions and engage your little one face-to-face. The dividends will be huge.

#WorldMenopauseDay

Going through menopause at a young age has been extremely difficult, lonely, and frustrating. It has brought on alot more issues than I had anticipated. Lack of supports for #SurgicalMenopause is something that needs to change. We shouldnt be forgotten 💜

[YoungMinds @YoungMindsUK]

This #WorldMentalHealthDay, spend 20 minutes having a conversation about mental health with your child. Here are some conversations starters you can use.

If you’re a foster parent, I urge you to stop writing diaries to your social worker and start writing them to your foster children instead.

Having a different audience in mind, really changed what and how I write.

Our foster children deserve so much better than this:

Ask yourself what kind of people would trash a movie that exposes something that is happening in the world today ? Not to mention that the movie is based on real life events . #godschildrenarenotforsale #SoundofFreedomMovie

"This is a genre thriller. Yet it’s an urgent and honest one, and Caviezel gives his most committed performance since 'The Passion of the Christ.'"

Sleep deprivation is a massive issue amongst young people using smartphones.
This causes so many issues, including zoning out ,not enough sleep, improper mental growth.
This will be part of our 15 min debating session with our nurture group tomorrow🧠🌱

Learning can only happen in our most unique part of the human brain,the cortex. To make young people feel safe from battleground childhoods, it's a 3-part process to get to that top smart part.This will enhance positive outcomes for children from adversity, chaos & trauma. 🧠🌱

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

The vagus nerve runs from the base of your brain and every organ in the body. It organizes the parasympathetic nervous system plays a role in: heart rate, immune response, digestion, and overall mood. Low vagal tone is associated with inability to emotionally regulate and low stress tolerance. High vagal tone is associated with: flexibility, feelings of connectedness, and ability bounce back or find solutions to stress.
