Thank you @RoySocChem for the webinar : "Kindness begins with thinking about others, the translation of thoughts into the actions is more required which can be implied through small guestures of kindness." #KindnessMatters #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2020 
"There are physiological and neurological effects of kindness associating it to happiness and kindness is contagious" - @DrDRHamilton #KindnessMatters #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2020
1. It’s #mentalhealthawarenessweek so I thought I’d share some of the results of a survey I did with just over 100 #childlessnotbychoice people last year for a project I was working on. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2020. A thread.
2. Not that these results will be any surprise to those of us living with #involuntarychildlessness but judging by some comments I’ve seen on social media recently, they may be enlightening to certain other people.
3. 93% said they’d felt isolated or lonely socially as a result of their #childlessness.
As requestd folks, here comes a longish THREAD analysng ths totally fabulous video of a Dad & baby giggling together, originlly produced by The Dad Gang & retweeted by @_SJPeace_ to his many followers. I hope ths analysis shows how rich ths exchange was.
2. As a research scientist & infant psychologist, I see this exchange as a jazz session. The 2 people are creating the song together, in the moment. It is a joint, spontaneous creation. The baby as musician is contributing as actively & creatively as the dad. Yes, EVEN as a baby.
3. In this duo, I've come to think of the Dad as the saxophonist. The Baby is the drummer - with a full drum kit to hand! - who occasionally chucks in some singing. I use this analogy to help illuminate what's happening. If you prefer, you can choose other instruments.
