Children are stressed when we’re stressed. Children won’t be ok until we’re ok. It starts with us.
From sunny 🏴 this morning, to rainy 🏴 this evening. Sticking with the same theme… it’s more rugby and more conversation on the power of sport, community, and belonging.

I’m still learning about the power of sport. It didn’t play much of a role in my childhood. At the end of another rugby tour weekend away, I’m reflecting on what sport does for my children. The team that became family.
My eldest foster son is nearly 18. Every day, I’m still guiding and supporting him. I’ll be doing this for many years to come. Every child deserves that.
I don’t think we pay enough attention to the power of environment design. Our surroundings shape our behaviour. We should think and obsess over how we design them.
“…had a tremendous impact on those I spoke to” I delivered my first training last week. The feedback has been kind, generous, and moving. Thank you. ❤️🩹
Exclusion may be a last resort. We need to be aware of the micro-exclusions that happen every day. The ways children are slowly but surely pushed out of education, separated, removed, excluded.
Marketing masterclass.
Marketing masterclass.
Relationships are now seen as nice-to-haves, if there’s time, once the work is done. Relationships are essential. Relationships come first. Relationships are how the work gets done.
Children don’t need carers. They need adults who delight in their very existence. They need adults who love being around them, and love seeing them thrive.
Kids won’t believe you when you tell them they belong. They’ll believe you when you show them.
It’s incredibly difficult to find education settings that work for children with trauma. Many talk the talk. Few walk the walk.
Checking through my slides for the course I'm running tomorrow on an introduction to therapeutic parenting. What book recommendations should I include?
I'll be running this virtual event tomorrow. Therapeutic parenting changed everything for us. Looking forward to sharing the concepts with everyone on the call tomorrow. Sign-up here: naotp.com/events/introdu…

Prime's prime seems to be fading. Now cheaper than a can of coke, and the price drops don't seem to help it. Could probably have become long term, but instead seems to be a dying meme brand. Like playground stickers, Tamagotchi, Pogs. A playground fad in drink form.
“Less than 2 percent of the stories children tell prove to be false…those very few children who do lie… the reason for their lies are obvious immediately.” Interesting reading over the weekend.
I wonder if there is a divide between those who want tightly defined rules (SLANT etc…) and those who want wider values 🤔 So, for example “we show respect to each other” I see as a value but “we always say thank you sir/miss” is a rule. The first, imo, gives CYP more agency.
This is an excellent write up that is an important policy issue in its own right *and* central to the challenge of fixing local government. The failure of children's social care is a a symptom of a failed approach to localism of childrens services. With a few parts:
