There is not much more to say...

An education researcher says homework in primary school isn't necessary. So why are kids doing it?

I am not a fan of all the different iceberg pictures out there, but this one is so accurate. School anxiety presents in ways that we can easily brush off. Not every sore tummy or attempt at wagging should be considered anxiety, but if these excuses become frequent and persistent then I'd recommend asking your child some gentle questions about what might be happening during their day 🌼

Understanding the school anxiety iceberg can help educators, parents, and mental health professionals identify and address the root causes of students' anxiety more effectively.

It emphasises the importance of providing holistic support that addresses not only the visible symptoms but also the deeper emotional and psychological factors contributing to school-related anxiety.

Raising Teens Today ❤️

Many of the goals written for our neurodivergent kids are for those very top blocks.

People need to understand that our kids cannot reach those top blocks without all the foundation blocks underneath.

Focus on building a solid base, then work your way up.

Yes?

You may never know someone's full story, and you don't have to. Offering a smile, a hand or any form of support could be the only thing someone needs to get them through their day.

This seems relevant after my post from yesterday... Green flags are awesome!!!

Some great talking points if you’re helping a teenager or young adult navigate the big wide world of friendships and relationships.

They can both learn to be a green flag person and keep their eyes peeled for green green flag friends and partners.

Help them build on this list too...

I’d add empathy and compassion to the green flags and cruelty and self absorption to the reds.

What would you add?

Inside a public hospital toilet, against the wall, I saw this print out. My heart sank when I noticed how many strips there were that had been taken off. It got me thinking about how many people around us are trapped in these circumstances. I'm not only referring to the people you see being abused in public, I'm talking about the abuse that happens to those who look happy, who seem so strong and who just get on with things... Sitting in the waiting room, I realised that the old lady next to me might have one of those strips in her bag, the young boy may have taken one too... Abuse is real and it can happen to anyone!
If you are ever trapped in an abusive situation, please reach out! Help is available!
