Attunement. One of my key words.

That supporting safety, both physically and relationally, is the foundation stone for the growth of individuals and their communities.

I wonder about the benefit of the placebo as a genuinely regulating intervention. The regulation of the nervous system,which can be achieved by the presence of an attuned relationship and the sense of being seen, heard and understood,could in itself be useful enough to open the cortex for learning.

Unless you confuse this pull with mal-adaptive addictive ones.

I also have a theme in my followers that has nothing to do with my focus on child development and education 🤨

It might not be helped by the fact that my approach is based in ‘relationships’ but not in the way some algorithms use it?!🤪

Great for his development. Time well spent 😃👌

Too early I think. My contacts are very fixated on the protectionist narrative and ‘the math’. Less so on the generalised undermining of healthy human relationships.

State dependant understanding needs to be seen as human wide. Showing up differently in different contexts for sure but affecting everyone. ‘This child [or yp or adult] in this moment’ (Dr Dan Siegel). 😀

👍Mona DelaHooke suggests PDA should be Protective Demand Avoidance. It’s just an instinct to protect themselves. Mal-adaptive possibly.

Culture change is needed. Persistent Disruptive Behaviour is statistically the biggest reason for suspensions etc. It’s persistent for many reasons that punishments can’t change. We need Relational Inclusion to understand & create change over time. Relationships need time and space for flexibility.

Spotted these at edge of the school field just now. Still not out full but great colour!

I’ve seen some glorious ones this week.

Not practical in the currently over stuffed curriculum but another spark of curiosity about how effective learning g might look different.
