Children often tell us when something is overstressing them through their body and their actions, and if we don’t respond to the message, they take matters into their own hands as best they can.

Don’t be afraid of pressure. Pressure is what transforms a lump of coal into a diamond.

'We are all different. We all learn different... How could we make sure our space was diverse? and how do we make sure it was what [children] needed.' @rod_soper #ECAConference

‘Your knowledge, your sense of self, your wellbeing is so important in terms of what we bring to our play space every single day.’ @rod_soper #ECAConference

Agency is all about making the choice which guides our future! Helping our children and young people understand this about our choices is a wonderful wellbeing gift!

A powerful reminder to end the week and start a new month! Let’s get emotionally healthy for our children. #ecec #primaryed

[Nicky Gumbel @nickygumbel]

Truth becomes hard if it is not softened by love; love becomes soft if it is not strengthened by truth.

[Personhood360 @Personhood3601]

Today we are all about being grateful for those in our families who matter to us and telling them why! Let’s be all about the business of being grateful everyone!

Be STRONG, but not rude;
Be KIND, but not weak;
Be BOLD, but don't bully;
Be HUMBLE, but not timid;
Be CONFIDENT, but not arrogant.

What #SelfReg is about is understanding the 'why?' in order to come up with concrete strategies, to change things, to dig down to the roots of the problems, whatever those roots are in such a way that we can actually begin to do things that will change at the root level.

[The MEHRIT Centre @Self_Reg]

"Good—unconditional, non-judgmental—social support is inherently energizing. It’s so restorative to, not just know, but experience that someone cares about you enough to support you and perhaps ease your to-do list a little bit." ~ @UncommonJohn in his #SelfReg blog. 💖

Our vision is only actionable if we share it.

Without sharing, it's just a figment of our imagination.

[Stuart Shanker & Co. @StuartShanker]

We react before we feel. We feel before we think. We think before we speak. That's all true, developmentally.

Regret looks Back.
Fear looks Around.
Worry looks In.
FAITH looks Up.
