Because the language you use in the directions matter.

Emotions shape and change how we see the world, relate to one another, and even hear what people say.

Great article this morning. Tips for what to ask instead of “how was school today?” + an explanation of why that doesn’t always get us the answers we seek.

When you have a BORING redundant but necessary task that you HATE, fun music helps. Especially when you throw it back old school #CDS! It makes the old novel and new. Which interests my ADHD brain & gives me a shot of dopamine to keep going. #franksinatraboxset #motivation

What is “good teaching”? #educators #teacher

[Dr. Kaci @edu_kaci]

@heymrsbond Agreed! This week I learned about 10 elementary schools in my area that didn’t allow costumes. It made me sad.
Why can’t they be kids?

[Dr. Kaci @edu_kaci]

@Count_gingula @heymrsbond I agree! So often I speak with educators that have the heart to help but don’t fully understand the disability and how it impacts behavior and learning. This is KEY and so badly needed! #training #nailedit

[Dr. Kaci @edu_kaci]

@WhatTheADHD These are HUGE! I recall having to request accommodations and being told that they “weren’t needed”. I was also told that some things I asked for was just “good management.” It was a FIGHT every step of the way. I wish I had these tips BEFORE accepting that role with the company

Disappointment fuels motivation? Researchers discovered dopamine rises after setbacks, suggesting a fresh angle on how our brains deal with disappointment. Could reshape our understanding of motivation & mental health treatments.
