A clip from my speech last Wednesday. We are proud of our diverse communities who chose to make Scotland their home. And unlike Labour, the SNP will never imitate Nigel Farage. We will confront him, and we will defeat him.

What have immigrants ever done for us? Coming to our country...creating jobs, staffing the NHS, winning Olympic gold medals, adding £bns to our economy. When will Labour learn that you can not out-Farage, Nigel Farage? Labour should stop punching down and start growing up.

When a young person experiences trauma, their emotional age might be halted, which can cause emotional arrested development . Higher parts of the brain are underdeveloped, lower overdeveloped/over sensitive.🧠🌱

Micromoments are powerful & therapeutic.This promotes emotional currency. It develops pupils & guides pupils. Micromanagement fosters. I don't trust you. Fosters stress, creates anxiety, doesn't solve behaviour issues, & creates a breakdown in pupil & staff relationships. 🌱🧠

Absolutely this ⬇️
When our young people are highly stressed ,fight/flight/freeze response,they will have high levels of cortisol(stress hormone).This makes it harder for them to think,make decisions, reflect, problem solve & access learning.🧠🌱

Telling a child to focus or study more often does not help if they don't understand the course work. Shame does not make executive functioning any better. Neurodivergence isn't an intellectual disability and people can be really clever but still struggle. #educateyourselfplease
