Almost anything can be traumatic for children - it is the experience, not the event. We can't judge children's experiences against any lists of #ACEs or #trauma - or against whether we would find it traumatic ourselves, or think it should have been teapaw.org/MAVscotland/status/961…
Quite like this about trauma, makes the point that the experience of the same thing can be very different-so the response needs to be individualised too @NavigatorsScot
If you are in the Fort William & surrounding area with children eligible for nursery, come along to our Open Day on 3rd Feb - learn more about Outdoor learning & Play & get your wee ones signed up for their nursery space!

Really like this. Fits well with our ideal school research @j3nsm1th! teapaw.org/JamesEdPsych/status/95…
"How do we see ourselves through the eyes of our children?"asks John Hattie (@VisibleLearning) in this month's @gtcs magazine. What might be the measures that could help us do this?

Children are programmed to seek out risk and challenge in their play, by supporting our children to recognise and manage risk, learning skills to navigate social relationships and challenging physical experiences, this need is fulfilled and the holistic child develops. #riskyplay

Children, like all humans are programmed to connect. When kids act up they are not seeking attention, they are seeking connection. @James_vru told me that. 👍

This is a great PowerPoint. I agree wholeheartedly. Let's leave the pyramids in the museums and build relationships with ch. and YP. Joined up community based services are the way to go @PMHWhighland @sallycroachy teapaw.org/dizzydoodler/status/92… – at Scotland, United Kingdom
