I always bear this in mind, as to me it's a key tenet of Educational and Child Psychology.
Similar to our family sayings of:
"A stitch in time saves nine" and "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".
Creating meaningful belonging, and "mattering" is so vital.

Important thread on Reading Recovery
🧵 Reading Recovery 🧵
You are probably aware that Reading Recovery has come into question a lot in recent years. This is because many teachers and parents are now aware of reading research, and how the Reading Recovery does not align with it very well. 1/n

Can I introduce the Coventry Grid on Autism vs Attachment Problems? So many of our children have adverse experiences & sometimes that can be mistaken for Autism (can co-occur) but it can be so helpful to reflect more when wondering what’s going on? #EdChatIE

I think a massive opportunity for children with additional needs would be to scrap the Friday spelling test. I cannot emphasise the amount of anticipatory anxiety and stress this can cause our children who (in a lot of cases) don’t benefit from it. Often they have memory difficulties. #EdChatIE

I think there can be a bit of a preoccupation with labelling at times (ducks for cover) - esp to the detriment of putting in supports, relationship building &evidence based interventions in place based on the child’s needs as they present. Chdrn exist within systems&they often need change. #edchatie
