**best practice idea** Would you allow scooters on the playground? Alison Hawkins, Head teacher at Allendale Primary in Northumberland does! They are an OPAL school who encourage learning through outdoor play- we LOVE this approach-@Shahana_tpc caught up with her to ask more..

Every child deserves to feel seen, heard, valued and loved! Every child deserves help when they feel overwhelmed. Every child deserved to feel emotionally safe. Every child deserves to flourish. That should be a non negotiable. #edutwitter #therapeuticteaching @TPC_Therapy

You get to choose who you are and who you will become. Focus on the version of yourself that makes you the happiest and most at peace, focus on being the best version of you that you can, and don't let others become the voice inside your head!

The numbers of children struggling with their behaviour in school have risen, but so have the numbers of children struggling with adversity, trauma or high levels of stress. Children don't choose to misbehave, it is always because they are struggling with a feeling...

Feedback Friday! We love it when our course modules inspire people to use the strategies we share in their professional and personal lives! Helping children manage their feelings and understand their behaviour is an essential role we have as adults. #edutwitter #eduteach

Life can be full of pressures and expectations, sometimes from others and sometimes from yourself! Set your sites on the big stuff but then focus on the small steps every day to help you get there. One day that might be working, the next, it might be rest! You got this! 🩷

Feedback Friday! @Shahana_tpc lead a wellbeing conference for the day and shared 3 sessions around trauma, difficult behaviour, teacher responses and skillsets and insecure attachment. At the end of the day, a headteacher emailed her with the following feedback: #Edutwitter

Do you have a child who is struggling with a big feeling? You might find that instead of talking, they play it out. This is a great way for them to make sense of what is going on. Play is magic for children! #edutwitter #teaching #parenting #playtherapy

Life can be very stressful for children! Many are busy with breakfast club, school, after school clubs, weekend clubs, playdates and more! When they are not busy they are often playing on technology (which increases stress levels)... #edutwitter #eduteach #parenting

We created a calm snug for the children, staff and families at @StChadsChorley and they just sent us this wonderful video of it all complete 😁 What a lovely space to have in school to support the wellbeing of anyone who needs it! @Shahana_tpc #edutwitter
