I don't know, because they are trying to be impartial? Probably not, but it is all I can come up with right now!

Based on what I have seen, Reform are going for the UK equivalent of MAGA, they distrust science. This will appeal to them whilst not entirely alienating anyone else who may vote for them or leaving them open to the mockery Trump is currently receiving. They are getting splinters from the fence

Terrifying that we could also be facing this in the UK in 4 years time. As the wife of someone with ILR I feel like it is going to be a sleepless 4 years full of fear and uncertainty

The article does explain this, but tired stressed out parents will potentially only see the headline. Parenting groups and other press will also only focus on the headline and spread further stress. I know it's not the researchers fault, I wish the press would report research better.

If we want to do the best for children, we need to support the parents without shame or judgement to be the best of themselves. Parenting is one of the most vulnerable periods in many adults lives.

As a parent, TA and psychology student I will always be happy to see research and articles that are for the good of the child. But also as a parent (before my studies) I know how many of us will take a headline to heart and be sent into a downward spiral.

Secondly, are we going to offer support to parents who shout, without criminalising them as a first step? So many parents, particularly mums from my own experience, are struggling with their own mental health and breaking their own cycles of poor parenting that adding another layer could break many

Does raising your voice when you have told your child for the umpteenth time to get their shoes on have the same effect? Further in this article it suggests that it is verbal abuse e.g. demeaning, negative language which is different to what the headline says.

This is great that this is being discussed. 2 things I think need to be picked up though. There needs to be clarity and support for parents though as I know this will have a seriously negative effect on many parents who are just holding onto their own mental health by the skin of their teeth.

From my experience of working and being a parent across English and Scottish schools, more Scottish schools are achieving this. My children have a deep knowledge and use hands on approaches not just sitting down and writing. I find as a TA that days are not as crammed from bouncing around subjects.
