Ever heard of Parkinson's Law? It stipulates that work expands to fill the time available. It means we need to develop really clear boundaries for work and non work, otherwise work will always spill over into the time that is available. #StressBites #Teachappy

We need to upskill our children in terms of digital literacy but that doesn't mean we need to give them a smartphone! It means we can supervise & facilitate them using digital tech with us, having conversations about how to navigate life online in a healthy way. With Dr Martha Deiros Collado

Authors like Jonathan Haidt argues that social media is driving the mental health crisis in teenagers but many, many others disagree with him. I interviewed Dr Martha Deiros Collado, author of The Smartphone Solution to hear her thoughts. Full interview at wwww.teachappy.co.uk

When you are anxious about a performance-related task, it can really help to tell yourself 'I am excited'. This is known as anxiety reappraisal & it has been studied by Dr Alison Brooks . Studies show that reframing nerves as excitement improves our performance. #StressBites #stress #Teachappy

Also, pretty much all of the longest studies on human happiness point to the fact that our close personal relationships are the strongest protective factor of our physical and mental health and the biggest contributors to our wellbeing.

'It's important to weave your parachute every day, rather than leaving it to the time you jump out of the plane" - Jon Kabat Zinn. It's important we weave healthy habits into our morning routines to prepare us for the day ahead. One of mine is my dog walk. What's one of yours? #Teachappy

I delivered 2 webinars today to international teachers in the UAE, South Africa & beyond. All around the Oxford International Curriculum for Wellbeing which is aimed at students but teachers learn the principles first, try out the techniques themselves, before then teaching to children. #Wellbeing
