Our words matter and wellbeing depends on our connection with others.

Love it when a new book arrives! I trained in DDP over 10 years ago and the principles are still so important for connection and relationships: playfulness, acceptance, curiosity, empathy.

@Doug_Lemov @tombennett71 @MrGeorgeStokes @ArborPrincipal this is getting rave reviews - there's online training on 13th Jan...

I didn't actually realise this until going to university in England!

@emerald1910 Sorry to hear that, its brave to be so open. This might not be for you but I always find some beauty and stillness in nature, even getting out to breathe in some fresh air. Enjoy little things.

I was asked today if mental health issues in children and young people are on the rise...with NHS cuts and significantly underfunded psychological services, yes they are #WorldMentalHealthDay

Just phoned a CAMHS clinic about a referral for ASD assessment that I made 18 months ago. They told me the waiting list is 4 YEARS LONG. Totally shameful state of affairs #autism #send #asd

Jigsaw puzzles are a great way for children to develop their spatial thinking and problem-solving skills.

Why not create them yourself at home!

@ArborPrincipal @ArborWellbeing Mixed results when it was adopted in many Scottish schools as well - no magic bullet and limited research on our quite unique demographic. Still believe it has a place when used alongside other approaches

[Esra Uzsayilir @ez_mccabe]

@teacherhead @ShelleyEnglan14 Absolutely, some of the earlier research into resilience looked at those who had come out best after traumatic experiences and natural disasters. I find it helpful as a framework of risk v protective factors rather than seeing it as a trait.

A simple yet emphatic message from the boss...

‘This is for you.’ ❤️

Exciting to see this collaboration, recognising the 'important role that nature plays in supporting positive mental wellbeing'...and what do children do when they're outside- play of course!! It's not a coincidence!

Love 'creativity rules'...

What will schools look like when they reopen? That depends on the school. Specific health & safety protocols will be in place for all schools, but each school will decide how to put them in practice. Creativity rules! See our FAQs for more. https://t.co/hsOBLK5r8P #NewDaysNewWays

Stay curious about behaviour...rewards have a place but are more about motivation and will, we always need to consider the whole child.

[Esra Uzsayilir @ez_mccabe]

Yes!
