Oh goodie
Searching for football boots for tomorrow
Last seen: first week of term
Since then - shoe / coat cupboard redecoration & garage revamp
Just what I like before/ after bedtime
So pleased with my January make -
I’ve set myself a goal to creating a wreath-addition for each month
January’s is a cute snowman complete with bobble hat

I have a teenager who struggles with these behaviours - and it’s not lack of “basic manners”
It’s about trauma, autism and ADHD
Not all behaviours are deliberate
I’m seriously considering planning a ‘Basic Manners Workshop’ for my class next week.
On the agenda so far:
Pleases & thank yous
Listening when someone is speaking
Volume and tone of voice
Not interrupting
Personal space
Respecting boundaries
#teacher#teaching
@LuEliz1989 Presumably neurodiverse diverse pupils, hyper vigilant pupils, pupils with ADHD will understand that their difficulties with tone of voice and interrupting etc are understood and their uniqueness is still welcome?
Look beyond behaviour
#3GoodThings
1. A dry day
2. Time with the kids
3. Fred didn’t steal any sandwiches or cake when he ran up to a walk-side cafe before I could stop him

3.@YSPsculpture is an incredible place
4. Finishing the incredible “Mr Bates vs The Post Office” which was one of the most tragic & compelling stories I’ve ever watched
How do I connect with a child who screams to be left alone all the time?
How do I help them when they push me away?
Their mental health isn’t good & leaving them alone doesn’t work, nor does anything else

1. Seaside - it stayed dry!
2. Fred behaved amazingly on the long drives
3. Gluten-free small cod & chips on the pier
