When children exp. neglect, it derails the ability to build strong brain architecture & leads to #toxicstress. Communities can reduce #neglect by offloading stress & supporting adults to dev. skills to engage in brain building #ServeAndReturn. https://t.co/IGrZSgiRUA #BSBTN

[Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth @tccy]

One reason that #childneglect is so harmful is that the lack of interaction means too few brain-building experiences. "Serve and return" back-and-forth interactions are essential for babies, toddlers, and kids. https://t.co/3ZTcTOT9Nd #BSBTN

You can complain about things you can't control or you can control what you can control and let go of what you can't. You can focus on your problems or focus on getting better. You can look for an excuse or you can look within and find your best. Make the positive choice today!

A new study finds that greeting students at the door increases engagement by 20% and reduces disruptions by 9%—effectively adding 1 hour of learning per day. https://t.co/zFa3lQgV9t

Some of these kids don’t value their lives or the lives of others, because no one has ever told them that their life means something. We have to show them their value—their life depends on it.

I believe that the single best way to transform a school, is to cultivate collaboration between the adults in the building. When all staff members are working together for the good of the kids… they can make magic.
