I know there are other things going on today, but I had to share (because I'm going to explode with pride) - my daughter just NAILED threading a trainer lace (blind) after practicing with her Dad for over a year. So. Damned. Proud. #FlipTheNarrative 💜

I'm asking at the wrong time. I know there are millions who need our thoughts. But I have to ask you. My Ella, my angel, who has changed so many lives, is fighting for her life right now in ICU. And she needs you to lift her up with the power of human love. Please pray for her 💜

Really useful visual to explain the anxiety curve. Where, when, how, why. Considering where the child is, what they need at that point, where demands are reduced not induced creating further stress. Relationship with the young person key. @marymered #losethebooths

We should not be presenting childrens behaviour as challenging. It is unmet need, lack of understanding (on our part) and the restraint of a child is an indication that we have not met need. #flipthenarrative #RRNBristol2019 @AspieDeLaZouch @Nickhobbs78

Why is 'holding the space' so important? Because nobody can learn or grow if they feel unsafe, or at risk if they get it wrong. The human space is where we connect, lean in and work together with a powerful intention to make it better. #FlipTheNarrative 💜

Behaviour is complicated Professor Hastings says. All behaviour occurs for a reason. It's functional not dysfunctional. Why would a child hurt themselves or others? There's no behaviour for which the decent human response would be a restrictive intervention. #NoHarm
