@Rthy Thanks Ruth. Totally agree this could have a really positive impact 🥰

Looking for help… Our school staff team have decided to prioritise staff wellbeing. We are going to add it to our improvement plan and update our policy. Looking for some quick wins over last few weeks of term & some long term ideas.

[Kirsten Rennie @patersonki]

Huge pleasure to launch the new @CYPCS children’s rights book for early years today.

Early years professionals are such brilliant human rights champions. They asked for a book to help with discussions about human rights with wee ones… so…

[Kirsten Rennie @patersonki]

Doing some research into good quality picture books that can be used to support the development of self- esteem, resilience or growth mindset in the ELC. Any ideas welcome… Thanks in advance.

Love this quote on leadership: ‘I am going to see that you get every opportunity to use your last ounce of potential. Your growth & satisfaction are part of my job. If you see a better way to do your job, do it that way;if something is holding you back, come and see me about it’

[Kirsten Rennie @patersonki]

@LynburnNurture Imagine we had space for somewhere like this? @princesssandi07 😍
