What a story. What a woman. What an example to every one of us.
Don’t know her, but she made me cry.

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27: “It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young. At 26, I thought I had time… To fall in love. Start a family. Grow old. But cancer doesn’t care about plans. Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee. I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live. Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it. Go outside. Look at the sky. Feel the sun. Just be. Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love. Laugh more. Write a note. Tell someone you love them. Complain less. Give more. Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy. Be present. Put your phone down. Show up - really show up. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life. Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to. And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever. Thank you for reading this. Live your life well. And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.” Holly 🩷 Repost & share Holly’s important advice. ❤️

Sending love to the lonely and to those finding times tough; sending love to those who are in pain, and all the people sleeping rough. Sending love to everybody missing somebody this year; sending love to everyone not full of festive cheer.

We've always known that Generation X is a unique breed. Listen to this guy explain it perfectly—it all makes complete sense. We now live in a world that feels completely foreign compared to the way we were raised.

The more educational settings understand about child development, how the brain & nervous system works,the better we will be at developing ways to better teach & children learn.🧠🌱

You cannot punish & exclude pupils into behaving well, or you will continue to play whack- a-mole. This fuels resentment & creates a breakdown in pupil relationships, which is at the heart of so many challenges in education. You teach skills to change troublesome behaviour.🧠🌱

The Story That Trauma Tells. If we infused trauma informed / responsive approaches into our education systems, this would help us understand the stress response system to help our young people deactivate these defensive manoeuvres that ensure their survival.🧠🌱

Trauma isn't just stored in the mind,it lives in the body.The body holds on to these experiences with physical responses.Fight, flight ,freeze adaptations, reminders of past dangers to triggers as though we are still under threat even when we are safe.🧠🌱

Pupils from chaotic environments cause the hippocampus to shrink. A smaller hippocampus can't stand up well to an overactive amygdala,which leads to overwhelming emotions.Attainment becomes difficult until we teach them new skills to manage & respond to emotional experiences.🧠🌱

Yes, & why outdated ideas about consequences that do not work anymore because they miss out on what is actually happening. When we use punishment/isolate,we are actually teaching pupils that big feelings lead to disconnection rather than helping them with co-regulation skills🧠🌱
Kids don’t want to be bad. They want to have their needs met. It’s always a good thing when we can focus on understanding the students and meeting their needs… rather than just reacting to the “bad behavior.”

Diverse student needs call for diverse solutions 🧠 Schools that centre inclusion excel in addressing the diversity of student needs. In our webinar 'Building Capacity' we outline several factors that can help build capacity and support student needs. ow.ly/j06z50WqkQn

We all know young people are not the same. Different lives, different brains & different needs ,yet some schools treat them as they are chronologically & not developmentally.A child might br 12 but had the neuropsychological infrastructure of an 8 yr old.Think stage not age 🧠🌱
