Heavy screen use might create a vicious cycle for young kids.

New data: the more time 3.5-year-olds spent on tablets, the more angry outbursts they had at age 4.5... and the more they used tablets at 5.5.

Digital soothing is not a substitute for teaching emotion regulation.

[Dr. Camilo Ortiz 👨🏼‍🎓 @DrCamiloOrtiz]

A solution to the "gentle parenting" movement is to give kids LOTS of practice with what I call the "4 D's"

Disappointment
Discomfort
Distress
(mild) Danger

Kids need experience with all of these on a regular basis to turn into reasonable adults

They will learn emotion regulation and be far more resilient. They will even be happier

“It doesn’t get easier….You become someone that handles the hard stuff better”

[Anne Lamott Quotes @AnneLamottQuote]

“Sometimes we feel that we are barely pulling ourselves forward through a tight tunnel on badly scraped-up elbows. But we do come out the other side, exhausted and changed.” ~@ANNELAMOTT

1.76%. That's the amount of brackets that are still perfect 😬

Madness.

@ceshove @lexiememphis I can confirm that 7 or 8 are the only truly acceptable ways…letters should always start from the top.

@ceshove Also woke up with phone alert. Turned on news just as he was saying possible tornado on High Point Terrace. Glad it wasn’t that bad for us.

[Phyllis Fagell, LCPC @Pfagell]

Someone asked me the best way to prepare to teach middle school. I told them to teach 3rd grade. I wasn't joking. 3rd grade--aka "the first 7th grade"--has it ALL: a surge of hormones, acute awareness of one's skills & standing, intense power needs & roller-coasting emotions. 😁

[Dane Ortlund @daneortlund]

Whatever type of organization you're leading, you can have either open, constructive disagreement around the meeting room table, or you can have private, destructive plotting in the hallways. But it has to be one or the other. No third alternative.
