Don't underestimate what your kids are capable of understanding. Start talking to them early about what matters most.

Take a few minutes to read this brilliant article about big feelings you and your kids may be having during this pandemic. It's such a gift when our kids talk to us. Our gift back is to listen with love, presence and no judgement.

Thank you, CBS! We need to normalize this conversation. How we see people isn't always how they are. Without encouragement, support and skills to talk about what we're experiencing, we face this journey alone, even when surrounded by people who care. #StopTheStigma

Unlearning old habits opens the door to change and transformation.
13 Oct 2019
Teachers are increasingly being asked to embrace new ideas and styles of teaching, but schools don't always give their educators time or the mental space to absorb and apply those concepts. That's why the idea of “unlearning” is worth exploring. ow.ly/RxX250wJ7oz

Really important to give kids a means of communicating what they're experiencing and what they need! Connection Zoo animals give kids words and images to do just that! #conversation #communication #givekidswords #connection

Does the child know how to ask for a break? Is the child offered different ways to ask for a break? @kwiens62 has a two-part #sketchnote on how to help before trust breaks down.
