@BDPerry This “fourth trimester” period is so important for healthy development. We have to educate and support new parents better and provide them with resources and tools to be able to combat ELS by buffering as well as change the adverse environments

I’ll be sharing Mark’s story on my FB page along with celebrating fathers who are deeply involved with their children. Lots I know have found using baby carriers very helpful for bonding... cos men have oxytocin receptors too!!

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

I’ve worked w a LOT of kids in my past educational work.

The ones who “act up” almost always have issues at home or otherwise.

Esp when it comes to elementary students, suspension + detention can make things worse.

What kids need is healing tools+policy that helps families ⬇️

[Alexander Heazell @MCR_SB_Research]

Dear lady who commented that I wasn't disciplining my child adequately i.e. not shouting or smacking. I'm trying to nurture him after 18 months of being shouted at and neglect meant he was removed from his birth mum. It's taken >7 years to repair this. Can I just do it with love?

[Dr Karen Bateson @KarenJBateson]

1 in 4 British children under 16yrs experience their mother having mental health difficuties at some point, and the proportion is highest during 1st 3 months after birth. Also higher in NI than rest of UK. https://t.co/hrWpWkIoYr

[Dr Rosie Knowles 💙 @drrosieknowles]

The world is not designed for mothers or children: or the frail or the disabled or the elderly. It’s designed for men, the “default”. That’s why so much of life is hard for those of us outside the default.

Oh, free slings in buses and help to fold the buggy??
