Heard of a school today who are supporting child with end of day transition by employing HLTA to do Sensory activity and offer snack for 15 mins after school. Love this, not pick up early but meeting child's need and offering more.

Coming soon: 'The Mermaid Who Couldn't' by @plumstickle - excellent primary classroom reading to support young children to understand how, with love and nurture, there is hope after loss, rejection and trauma. Available to pre-order now.

Spoke to a teacher in a challenging secondary school yesterday, frustrated in her efforts at trauma-informed practice because of school's rigid 'no excuses' behaviour policy. She's leaving teaching in July, going back into community work with vulnerable young people.

Having a real insight into the lives of vulnerable children can transform how #teachers work with them in schools. Empathy is key! Looked after and previously looked after children can thrive!

"The parts of the brain that are normally involved in regulating the emotional parts of the brain appear less able to do so in the youths with Conduct Disorder"
How long before research convinces everybody that some 'bad' behaviour is not a choice?

It's May already, and we're galloping towards the end of the #school year. Any #adoptive parents preparing their children for transition to #secondary school in September? How is it going? Are you feeling optimistic or approaching with trepidation?

Inspiring meeting with @TimpsonTrust and @AUK_Schools, about culture change to attachment awareness in schools and freeing up teachers to meet children's needs their way. Love the way he applies his values to everything he does.

Tomorrow am off to Rudd Adoption Center conference at University of Massachusetts. Presenting on birth family links for care adoptees, and a poster on ‘moving to adoption’ project. Want to learn how these two issues are managed in US, esp as older kids often adopted.
