Was great to be back today. A ๐Ÿงตabout swimming and menopause. 1/13 Peri-menopause is hugely misunderstood & appallingly poorly managed by most health services, not usually because of a lack of will, but because of a complete lack of comprehensive, appropriately designed care.

Thousands of you will have heard me talk of the work of Colwyn Trevarthen, whose research radically changed the way we understand babies' communicatory capacities. Sad news has arrived that he died yesterday, peacefully in his sleep. Here he is 2015, at a Child's Curriculum mtg.

Easier said than done โ€ฆ great advice to try tho ๐Ÿ‘
At the end of a working day, when we shut down the tabs on all of our devices, we should shut down the tabs in our heads too. Five ways to do this: 1) Savour an indulgence 2) Mindful breathing 3) Share a compliment 4) Get some fresh, outdoor air 5) Practice gratitude linkedin.com/pulse/closing-tโ€ฆ By @MelodyJMitchell.
