So excited to implement this learning. Amazing conference, feeling inspired #itsyourtakeaway

Just heard a terrific talk at the Global Conference on Parenting and Psychology from Professor Ann Sanson from Melbourne on the importance of parenting in the context of climate change. Call for action was clear. Let’s promote childrens agency and capacity for collective action.

@Formidable_PR Love the mug.

We're ready too! #itsyourtakeaway

Big coffee vibes for Day 2. I’m ready are you ready? #itsyourtakeaway

One of the best things about connection? It pays no mind to your relationship status. Reach out to someone who you think might need it. I’d love to hear about it. It’s all we need for what matters most. My mantra these days: Never perfect. Always genuine. Let’s do this Tuesday.

Imagine #resilience as a scale: negative experiences tip the scale toward bad outcomes & positive experiences tip toward good.

The question is not whether we'll get through the ordeal that lies ahead—because we will. The important questions are how well we can work together to protect young children & their families & how much we'll learn & make necessary changes for the future. developingchild.harvard.edu/stress-resilie…

The grass is greenest where you water it. There is nothing more important than tending to the ones who matter the most to you. You are most powerful when you give it away. And I promise, they need you today. ❤️ Xo #reconnectionrevolution

Under stressful circumstances, it can be difficult to focus on the fact that the most important thing your child needs is love, affection, & attention. Spending more time playing & snuggling with them, or talking to them are tools you can use to connect. developingchild.harvard.edu/resources/what…
