C&C Mentors: What's your intention behind praise? See this article for some great alternatives.

I might tweak a few details, but this is a generally refreshing testimonial by a teacher who not only realized praising kids was manipulative but, rather than looking for a new technique, also saw that the real problem was her goal: mere compliance: is.gd/Za0pK3

Excited to share our new preprint describing new linkages in ABCD Release 5.0 detailing social and physical environments that may impact child/ adolescent neural development. We introduce a framework we're calling the "Adolescent Neural Urbanome." 🏢🌳🛣️

It’s not just seeing suffering that's painful. It’s hurting for others while feeling unable to help.
There’s a term for that helplessness: empathic distress. Over time, it leads to burnout and withdrawal.
If you're overwhelmed and exhausted by a heavy heart, you are not alone.

Don’t mistake silence for apathy. When people are quiet, they’re often busy thinking and learning.
Extraverts like to process ideas by talking them through. Introverts prefer to reflect before they speak.
I'm not disengaged. I'm listening to your views and formulating mine.
