I feel so sad, waking to this article as a point of national debate. “Precisely how much unhappiness can our babies cope with without leaving long-term damage?” It is such an odd thing for a society to want to know...
🍼👶 Should you leave your baby to cry? A new study suggests, leaving babies to "cry it out" does not have an adverse impact on their development as a toddler. More on #BBCBreakfast 🥰

I am NOT my #ACEs. I am NOT my #CSA. I am NOT my trauma. I am NOT my addiction. I am NOT a mental health label. I AM a mother, wife, nana, sister, auntie, loyal friend, a human being. I AM a warrior who survived a war I didn’t have a choice being in. I am RECOVERY in action 🙌

“Old People’s Home for 4-Year-Olds” tonight on @Channel4 gives us a vision for a different world. The age segregation of British society is not how humans are evolutionarily meant to live. #oldpeopleshome4yo

"Schools shd stop thinkng of wellbeing as another subject to be taught &instead help students learn how to live well." This is why mindfulness needs to be part of a wider culture of inclusiveness in a school. This is what the story of @BurnsidePS at @ACEAwareNation helped us see.

Children's mental health is bigger than CAMHS. CAMHS is not the cause, but just another symptom of a system that is haywire. More money will not fix everything. We need a cultural change in how we approach mental health throughout life. #KidsinCrisis #CAMHS @BBCPanorama

It was good fun writing today's piece in @heraldscotland , trying to help the wider public understand what the ACE Study tells us. Hoping my comparison to t discovery of cholera's causes works! @DrBurkeHarris @paulinescott222 @margl43 @UpstartScot @ChSuptPMain @CameronSprague2
