Every time I hear someone askng 'Will Trump concede?', I think: You haven't read @MaryLTrump book, so you don't understnd t childhood dynamics at work in extreme narcissism. She's warning us yet again: "He's not going to concede. He's [seeking] vengeance." theguardian.com/us-news/2020/n…
"How does t most fragile ego on t planet deal w/ losing the US election? He doesn't....All he’s got now is breaking stuff, and he’s going to do that w/ a vengeance. The worst thing for him isn’t jail. Its becoming irrelevant. He wouldn't recover frm that." theguardian.com/us-news/2020/n…
At the end of this brief thread, let me re-attach my own tweet from earlier today, quoting @sarahkendzior warnings about the danger of the next 2 transition months.
If we understnd what's happeng, it takes away confusion &anxiety. Ths intvw w/ @MaryLTrump recorded in Oct: "Losing is not acceptable in my family. My grandfather set up his family as a zero-sum game. Only one person cd win. Everybody else needed to lose.” edition.cnn.com/videos/politic…

A story & a THREAD on ACEs & Power.
The theme of power was central to recent discussns between @_LisaCherry & myself on t #ACEDebate. I had a moment ths week that illustrates what I meant - especlly about academic power. I think we haven't considered these barriers nearly enough.
2. The story begins whn a colleague - who holds a senior post at a major childrn's charity - dropped me an email to ask if I had access to a newly publshed paper on ACES. Publishd in Brit Jnl of Social Work @BJofSW by very well regarded John Devaney & co. academic.oup.com/bjsw/advance-a…
3. If the public clicks on the link to t paper, they will find what my colleague did. As is entirely normal w/ journals, you have to have a subscription. Or your university has to have a subscription. Otherwise, you will need to pay £29.00 to read the article, limited to 24 hrs.

"Hungry childrn should complain to their parents, not the government"
That's t blog title I woke w/ ths morn. Now writng as fast as I can. Britain's industrial past ws *founded in* childhood suffering,in ACES. What will our future be? That's what ths row asks. #FeedOurChildren
2. Let me say that again: Britain's sense of itself as a nation, as an industrial power, as an empire, is *founded on* childhood suffering. Jane Humphries has said it. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
3. Author Carol Craig @craig_carol has said it. "I had an epiphany: childhood suffering is the key to Scotland’s ill health." @UpstartScot postcardsfromscotland.co.uk/shop/ols/produ…

A THREAD on the #ACES debate.

I watched with interest this week as the ACES debate once again flowed across my Twitter feed. I stepped into Fierce Curiosity, aiming to make meaning of what I was seeing. This thread is about my insights....
2. @DrJessTaylor released a video in which she explained very clearly why she seriously dislikes t Public Health England @phe_uk video on #ACES. With 65K following, lots of people listen to what she has to say. She also started the hashtag #IAmNotMyACEs .
3. Many people responded to @DrJessTaylor observations, similarly criticising the stereotyping & simplicities (amongst other things) of the video. @_LisaCherry was one of them. She later clarified she dislikes the video but not the ACES framework.

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 .

On this day that marks 2 years to the day of Scotland's @ACEAwareNation , which boosted public interest in the importance of relationships, attachment & childhood fear, I want to write a brief THREAD on why this knowledge matters politically. The world is entering tricky times...
2. This piece is from today's @guardian . It tries to show how much risk America is in just now. If American democracy fails, if America itself splits due to the election in November, the rest of the world will feel the reverberations. That is obvious. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
3. This piece frm Jan 2016 (before Trump was elected in Nov 2016) tried to help people to understand who votes for authoritarian candidates. It is citizens with authoritarian preferences. " American authoritarianism is a force to be reckoned with." politico.com/magazine/story…

I'm looking forward to talking abt Rupture&Repair ths morn w/ @quarriers. It seems a good time to remind everyone of t conversation I had ths summer w/ authors of the fab new book on this topic, @childinmind & @ed_tronick , called The Power of Discord.
One of the things I like about online training is that you can go back and reflect on the chat. Here are a few observations from today's session with @quarriers on Rupture& Repair: "Life offers us opportunities to recognise [that] kindness is powerful." Image
"Listen to understand, not to respond." A wee bit of wisdom today from one of the @quarriers team Image
