Watching helplessly as 11 falls further away from us and into more loneliness and anger. He rejects all love and care. All his decisions are based on self destruction. #trauma #adoption

So @AdoptionUK if my kids wish to see/ meet their half sibling who has also been adopted, what rights to they have as our social worker tells me we can’t set up a meeting and won’t provide the info.Thank you.
Am saddened all people engaged in this argument are doing so from deep wounds and now everyone’s hurting. This entire argument is now one big wound. More #tolerance please.

I’m at home. With my #yr6 son homeschooling him and his sister in the importance of accountability. There seems to be a lack of it from leaders so I’m giving them the edge. #futureleaders #schoolreopeninguk #lockdown2020

Not sending my #yr6 son into school today as science doesn’t support the message. #staysafe

No confidence in the Govt. to lead. Don’t want to send my yr 6 vulnerable child back to unsafe school whilst other child at home. What message does that send? #sophieschoice

Looks like 2nd wave incoming by June.

8 has hit a level of stress I’ve never seen. Cortisol rage and shake. Can’t hardly breathe. This is over filling in a form during homeschooling. My heart breaks for this girl. Any books to recommend she can read to help her calm? #trauma #adoption @AUK_Schools

Anyone else noticing their #adopted #traumatised kids happier in lockdown? We’re all having the sweetest connections. Due to a feeling of safety perhaps. Love to hear thoughts..

As the PM enters ICU I realise I’m observing episodes of the @WestWingWeekly #whenartimitateslife #Covid_19 #StaySafe
After a week of #homeschooling my kids, I can honestly say they’re calmer, more secure, engaged than ever! #structurerocks #whoknew #trauma #attachmentdisorder #adoption

This is really helpful @Philippa_Perry Feeling more confident.
Hello new educators, I think you are going to relish home schooling your amazing children. Here’s a bit of applied psychology that might help. Thread:
Just discovered this! @thebodycoach free online PE sessions !!! & @CosmicKidsYoga for all those kids (parents facing lockdown) #trauma #Attachmentdisorder

Interesting rhetoric used by PM in this afternoons delivery. Spoke twice of ‘ wartime’. Shadowed by Macron’s, ‘We are at War’ speech. Think Boris went for Churchillian. Came across more ‘Carry on up the Covid!’
Interesting thread Re: Governments strategy to #COVID_19uk
1. The govt strategy on #Coronavirus is more refined than those used in other countries and potentially very effective. But it is also riskier and based on a number of assumptions. They need to be correct, and the measures they introduce need to work when they are supposed to.
Flicking thro’ @theTimes & wondering if I’m in the 70’s/ 80’s with a giggly piece from @caitlinmoran where she gets ‘tetchy’ with a red carpet wardrobe crisis and then Anna Murphy coyly trying the ‘bum bra’ where are the REAL WOMEN and their interesting lives?
