Wow! More important things to do than support your child who is having a really difficult time! It’s the important work of parents to be alongside their child and support them to understand their emotions and learn how to manage them. I hope this has been taken out of context!

What triggers you? We have become familiar with this word as something that upsets our calm. I love that it has an opposite called glimmers! Be a glimmer seeker and notice the effect on your mood and ability to manage stress #weekend #mindful #EmotionalWellbeing #stressrelief

Learning how to manage stress is an essential life skill for our mental health and well-being. We teach this in early childhood by role modelling and being alongside children until they can do it for themselves. Co-regulation is necessary for the development of Self-regulation

Great news! Can we please do better than ‘sparkling wine’ in the UK. French Champagne, Italian Prosecco, Spanish Cava. I feel our bubbles need a name! #WINNER #wine #bubbles #name

Final thoughts @childcareedexpo discussion on behaviour, communication and language. Looking after ourselves is essential to be be good enough carers and educators for the children we support.

Fantastic panel of experts sharing their experiences and advice @childcareedexpo Stressed parents Delayed language and communication Supporting parents SEND and ASD @BHFamiliesUK

@childcareedexpo Working with parents to understand what their children need and how EY educators are key to supporting them with their child’s behaviour - using neuroscience and relationships as the basis for the conversation. Difficult conversations need bravery

@BHFamiliesUK important discussion just about to start on language, communication and behaviour with Michelle and a fab panel of experts #behaviour #communication #language

@BrightHorizons an important discussion is just about to start on behaviour, language and communication. Being able to communicate our needs is central to positive wellbeing #behaviour #language #communication #brighthorizons #EYFS

One of our year 5 children has recently lost her mum. We were writing persuasive letters in English this week and she wrote this gorgeous letter. Any kind of message or response would be amazing. Please share. @DUALIPA @MrBoothY6 @Mat_at_Brookes @Talk4Writing @JamieThomasTFW
