Tricky word torches 🔦 All you need is a toilet roll tube, clingfilm, an elastic band, a marker and a torch. Write the tricky word on a piece of clingfilm and attach it to the end of the toilet roll tube using an elastic band. #homelearning #earlyliteracy

Some young people are unable to regulate their emotions due to stress or unresolved trauma.

If we want young people to do better, we need to help them turn down the flames.

Teaching them self-regulation and looking out for signs of overwhelm🧠🌱
