@MissAHadley As long as you and the kids are there, then that’s the important thing. Who needs that extrinsic validation.

@Mroberts90Matt Some local authorities in Scotland already do have that 2 weeks at October. Different days for other holidays too.

@gerrydiamond71 Any credits for this … would be lovely to share but I’m very particular about crediting ☺️

We need to create space for young people to express their emotions without fear of being punished.Having them discouraged only teaches them to surpress emotions which can be damaging .These emotions need to be discussed as a normal part of life & not for shaming & suppressing🧠🌱

@burt_cdburt Aww fab!

@MissWalsh28 I worked at all stages … the leaves, the shells, the pebbles … and so much more 🤣 - enjoy!

When you work in early years so your walk to work includes collecting leaves 🍁🍂

A wee training day in London the lovely @CharlieDay_EGC My notebook is stuffed ☺️ Homeward bound now! #salesurge

@twinklresources Or one of these … more neuroscience …

You're given a pack of these to use within your setting. What would you use them for? (Most creative answer wins a prize!)

@twinklresources I like to make paper owls whilst teaching the kids all about neuroscience of their brains and emotional literacy!

I do love a parent power hour! I spend lots and lots of time working with kids .. so it is amazing to get a chance for grown up chat!! #support #neuroscience #emotionalliteracy #positivediscipline paulinelawson.co.uk/coaching/paren…

Working with that magnet game today while we chatted about how we often ‘pick up’ lots of emotional stuff when we don’t really need to. Building our #emotionalliteracy skills and knowledge @Elphytweets
