I'm presenting at #AJEC2024 this week - my first research presentation in a very long time. There's still time to register for the symposium here: https://t.co/Fgs0EdNroj #AJEC2024

[Kathryn Hopps, PhD. @drkhopps]

Highlight of my working week was meeting, hugging and hearing from @EmmaWatkinsfilm at Parliament House for #EarlyLearningMattersWeek

[Early Childhood Australia @EarlyChildAust]

“We want the best country to raise a child and the best place to be a child”: Emma Memma (@EmmaWatkinsfilm), currently on a twirly tour, and champion for the importance of song, dance and play in #ECEC. We couldn’t agree more!

It's both OOSH educators day and #earlylearningmatters Week @EarlyChildAust - so I made this heart for my love of play and of awesome educators

[Kathryn Hopps, PhD. @drkhopps]

@HardieRae Important findings. Thanks for sharing.

[ECEWP @ECEWP_Aus]

Fabulous keynote by @drkellyallen on belonging @beyou_edu_au Virtual Conference. A reminder that infants experience belonging (or not) too.

Super looking forward to @drrebeccaray on Thursday @beyou_edu_au Virtual Conference, having being drawn to her boundaries book, glowing in pink and orange, on the bookstore shelf a few years back.

Too often, early childhood is only talked about in terms of later outcomes, as if securing the health and happiness of babies & young children has no inherent value.

I’m pleased the @PEDALCam & @UNICEF_uk framework captures the value of both “being” & “becoming” mentally healthy

@ChildcareAus has partnered with @TELUSHealth to provide an affordable Employee Assistance Program for the early learning sector. Available to both ACA members and non-members.

The first few days, weeks and months at a new school or early learning service are pivotal in setting the scene for long-term belonging and connection. How are relationships going at your place? Here is my keynote from our Virtual Conference last year #transitions

[Be You @beyou_edu_au]

Transitions are great opportunities to build and maintain relationships. See how protective relationships for children can buffer against the risks, stresses, and challenges of transitions including, transitions in the context of disaster recovery. https://t.co/h9VZrgpUWQ

"Giving yourself permission to attend to your needs also sets the example for those who rely on you for your support to do the same." Great article from @MHFA_Australia on Self-Care when Helping Others https://t.co/QTVrpVGy2e
