Delighted to be here at the @ForwardTrust Christmas Concert, raising money to support those in prison. Extra delighted to hear the Chair already use the word 'connection'. @FamiliesOutside @BrownOpal58 @KevinNeary12 @KeeganSmith_Law Image
"63% of prisoners' sons went on to offend themselves".
#ACES
I'm so glad to be here tonight supporting @ForwardTrust -- hearing this fab music & stories & poems and TALKING about The @ForwardTrust right here on Twitter. Image
"Helping prisoners to reconnect with family members is one of the things we do at @ForwardTrust . Maintaining relationships helps reoffending to decrease." Image
What a story of love this mum offered us tonight at @ForwardTrust Christmas Concert. "That was the moment. I realised I needed to be clean so that I could be a mother to my little boy. The Forward Trust helped me do that." Image
Loved ending tonight's Carol Concert with t Serenity Prayer: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."
Thank you @ForwardTrust for kickng off my Christmas season. Donation made. Image

THREAD. Today I (finally!) sent off video files to @policyhubscot for their new online course on Building Resilience in Boys. I explored the data we now hv that baby boys have stress systems more fragile than girls. Here are some articles I quoted. policyhubscotland.co.uk/course-content…
2. "Society puts a lot of pressure on growing boys. They're told to shake it off when the tears flow. But research by Prof Allan Schore shows that infant boys have less self-regulating stress hormones than their female counterparts." goodhousekeeping.com/health/wellnes…
3. "Schore suggests we lobby for longer maternity, paternity, and family leave, so infants can be with their primary attachment figures longer. We need to cuddle and coo, smile and vocalize, and play peak-a-boo with our infant boys!" huffingtonpost.ca/2017/11/17/boy…

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.

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.

"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 .
