I want to thank the following schools, orgs & staff for actions you have taken in implementing relationship-led practice. gave examples of practice from each of you in my presentatn today to t @BEPvoice Conf to school leaders in Birmingham. You create paths others can follow.
2. @PitteucharE - I spoke, as I so often do, of your language change, from 'challenging behaviour' to 'distressed behaviour', and its transformation for your school. I recommended this @ACEAwareNation talk from your head @JKnussen .
3. @PortobelloHigh I spoke of yr practice of personal greetings for pupils as they step into a classroom - and considered t challenges posed by COVID, substitutng handshakes w/ other greetngs. I recommnded ths @ACEAwareNation video frm Head @ruthsmckay .
4. @bainsfordht - I spoke of yr use of Connection Bracelets to help children manage partings and the Relationship Agreement you introduced to replace your Behaviour Policy. I recommended this @ACEAwareNation video w/ your Head @bainsfordht.
5. @clydebankhigh - I spoke of your Nurture Hub and the international interest there has been in your mindfulness activities at secondary level. I highlighted the message on the door in this news article with Nurture Lead @gerrydiamond71 . clydebankpost.co.uk/news/18615384.…
6. @MonkseatonHigh in North Tyneside - You won't even know I was talking about you! I was talking about the way you have helped schools to think about adolescents' sleep patterns & how they relate to self-regulation (and thus exam performance). chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-eas…
7. @ACEBearSchools - I spoke of your Teddy Bear Policies and the increased opportunities you offer childrn to comfort themselves when feeling dysregulated. I recommended this @connectedbaby video w/ Heads @AngelagGardner @leenybrennan & @FrancesAnneBur3

10. @St_monicas_prim - I spoke to @BEPvoice school leaders of your whole school project to help children explore their emotions during COVID lockdown recovery, using #TheLittleIceberg. Feeling alone in the rain is definitely tough!
11. @BoclairAcademy - I shared with @BEPvoice school leaders the difference that toast is making in helping your pupils to connect & emotionally self-regulate. Yes, everyone, simple TOAST! Thank you Mrs Morgan @CMorgan_1 for that insightful story.
12. Dad & Mum @briancar1983 & @kellydeans3003 , I once again shared t photo of yr precious lockdown baby, to help others see the ability to connect with which all human beings are born & that goes on to shape emotional regulatory capacities. Thank you for sharing yr photo w/ me.

Meantime, thank you @BEPvoice for t opportunty to contribute & for yr kind email abt my "giving people permissn to stop 'fixing' others' feelings".
