"Clear expectations on behaviour & the value and practice of strong, healthy, warm and supportive relationships" more effective than physical punishment of kids, says @drsueroffey.bsky.social www.bmj.com/content/394/... @bmj.com #PublicHealth #ChildHealth #Pediatrics #EvidenceBasedPolicy #smacking

Professor Isaac Prilleltensky was one of my all time heroes. He was not only an academic giant in wellbeing - especially mattering - he was also one of the most humble, gentle, loving people you could ever meet. Not many people walk the talk - he did. He died on May 8. I will really miss him.

He Made People Feel That They Mattered
Personal Perspective: What do people remember when someone is gone? Rarely titles or accomplishments. More often, how they made others feel.

Dignity in Dying @dignityindying.org.uk · 27/04/2026
There is a way for the assisted dying Bill to return to parliament - and MPs owe it to terminally ill people and their loved ones to do so. Over 200 Lords wrote to MPs on Friday, calling on them to bring the Bill back in the next parliamentary session.

This is not the end. We won't stop fighting until every dying person has choice.

All our Love of Learning #schools have prioritised the power of positive #relationships. Who knew?! Actually anyone who had read the research. #loveoflearning

Today we begin our visit to the 7th of our Love of Learning Schools. This one in Devon. We are learning so much about what keeps kids curious and keen to come to #school every day. #loveoflearning #teachers #wellbeing

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

This is like some sort of video game - with language to match. Death, destroy, do what I say or else. Why are #world #leaders everywhere not standing up to this #bullying, intimidation and basically #war crimes?

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

I was pleased to talk with James Mannion and David Cameron (no not that one!) about what we need in #education for all #children to thrive and learn. open.substack.com/pub/drjamesm... @rethinkingjames.bsky.social @labouruk.bsky.social @frederika-r.bsky.social @oxwellresearch.bsky.social

Yesterday at Kew Gardens a #mother grabbed her child’s face and screamed at her for being ‘stupid’. What will this #child learn about herself, how to treat other people and having a go with new learning? #Words matter.

I have rarely posted on BlueSky since I left X but as the relentless push for #power without responsibility is not letting up any time soon I guess we need to do anything and everything possible to promote a #kinder, #wiser and #fairer world - so here goes!

Make some noise. Share this post. 🚨 The Israeli government has granted itself another means to dehumanise, suppress, and kill Palestinians. Israel is violating international law.
The image says, "PRISON SENTENCE FOR ISRAELIS, DEATH SENTENCE FOR PALESTINIANS." It also says, "Israel's death penalty bill is a reminder: this is illegal occupation, functioning as intended," with the OXFAM logo below.

Can You Stay Calm in a Time of Outrage?
The world doesn’t need more anger, however righteous. It needs people who can hold on to moral clarity and stay true to their values.

@researchdigest.bsky.social I have just seen articles on loneliness in the BPS Research Digest. I have just published an open access chapter on the Consequences of Loneliness for Young People you might be interested in. www.intechopen.com/online-first...

I support @PalestineAction, not got a placard but just thought I’d say. What is happening in #Gaza is #genocide and we cannot stay silent. Should I now be waiting for a knock on the door with my bags packed? Remind me again what country I’m in. @hopenothate.org.uk @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

This is a @teamlabouruk.bsky.social Party I no longer recognise. The suggestion that civil servants resign from the Foreign Office if they don’t like selling arms to Israel is beyond distressing. How many children have been killed in Gaza?

As we approach #VE day celebrations I wonder if voters understand that many in the #Reform Party as well as #Trump supporters are likely to have #fascist Nazi views. Let’s remember why #Britain and the #US went to #war and what people died for. @hopenothate.org.uk @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

Rather than focus on helplessness in the face of greed and deceit think of three things you might do each day to keep #hope, #kindness and #humanity alive. Doesn’t matter how small. Keep our voices constant over the next 4 years.

On CBC last night, I spelt out the moral case to keep on trying, however hard it might be. Defending the living planet is not an option we can abandon. Ultimately, it is all that counts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX2V...

I am genuinely sad for all those people who have lost their homes in the #LAfires. The photos of burnt out communities are much like the devastation in #Gaza. But in what world would the life of a Palestinian #child be as newsworthy as an American celebrity?

Dr Sue Roffey @drsueroffey.bsky.social · 09/01/2025
Ten years ago major weather events did not mention #climate change. Will the #LAfires be the moment the West wakes up - just as the US elects a climate denier!

I have left X in disgust. Hoping it is more thoughtful, kinder and more positive here. Working towards a world that works for us all.
