Asking for help is an act of service. Don't deny the people who love you the honor of being there to support you.

Executive function remains one of the most reliable predictors of success in academics—and in life. Here's the research on what it is, and how to cultivate it. ✈️

A sign of emotional intelligence is moving from “You made me feel” to “This is how I reacted.”

Our emotions aren’t caused by other people’s actions. They’re shaped by our interpretations.

Blaming others gives them power over our feelings. Taking responsibility empowers us.

@JamesClear Love this, @JamesClear! We always say, “You are stronger than this situation.” The way you’ve articulated it is perfect. :)

@PBR_Ontario @BaseballOntario Congrats, Gus! What a star!

I’ve been thinking about this as the new school year approaches. Do we say we value collaboration but then celebrate individuals? Instead of Teacher of the Month, how about Team of the Month? Thoughts?

When kids are deprived of play, their mental health suffers.

Over the past 50 years, the time kids spend playing outside and inside has plummeted. They're missing opportunities to bond, build self-control, be creative, and feel joy.

Free play is a key to happiness and growth.

Takeaway from today’s talk:

When we think about emotion regulation, we jump to strategies that require time & planning like biking or gardening.

But regulation often starts w/ strategies like breathing to deactivate & reframing to shift our thoughts, which help in the moment.

On modeling self-regulation through tone of voice: “The sweet spot is calm, neutral, assertive, and the teachers who get the best responses from kids are the ones that have mastered that the best," says Cynthia Robinson-Rivers of Van Ness Elementary in Washington, DC.

"When I like the teacher, I want to do their work. And I'll be like, 'I can learn this.'" Students who feel safe and supported by adults at school are better able to learn, research shows.

Does this count as a selfie with Dr Barbara Fredrickson? #IPPAWorldCongress

[URSTRONG @urstrong]

How special to hear from Barbara Frederickson and her team! The research is clear that when we feel a sense of safety & belonging, we experience more positivity resonance! And, of course, these moments of connection improve our health & wellbeing. #IPPAWorldCongress
