True! Folk are so weird tho, seeing how your life has changed in an instant, your honesty and daily challenges makes me want to follow & support you, why wouldn't anyone! But to actually block is very strange! You are amazing and it will be ok! Life has weird ways of making us stop!

I hate that! Why I rarely watch a film of a book that I've read! Completely spoils my image of the characters!

Yep I hate it too. Always have! Even as a child. Hate endings & I think thr constant treadmill to 'you can relax' nothing in between! Recognising it is the best thing I think. We went away locally for 2 nights this year & felt better. Not loads prep to go away, not far but away from home but a break

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.

David Attenborough and one of his creations.

So true. So grateful to have experienced proper holistic care based on need! Heartbreaking to see how families are suffering now!

fruitsoftheforest.bsky.social @fruitsoftheforest.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

Yep exactly. Phone calls & often did pop in visits to reassure parents if they had worries. As a community midwife we would sometimes pop in regularly at feeds for breast feeding mums too which made a huge difference & impacted so positively on BF rates. We didn't really how great it was then!

fruitsoftheforest.bsky.social @fruitsoftheforest.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Ability to refer & talk to specialists, eg speech, OT, handover to school nurses joint visits with GP if needed. Families had proper support. We did birth- grave HV too so knew the whole family. I see families in FS now & they have no support. Don't know their HV. I do loads of HV support

The demise of the health visiting service, surestarts or any help for families for under 5's has had a huge impact. As a HV 20 yrs ago I knew my families, had autonomy to visit as it was needed. Post natal support groups, weaning grps, sleep clinics, toileting support

We just started a bushcraft programme for pupils who are constantly disrupting classes! Mixed ages 11-15. They are building their own camp, using tools and their engagement is through the roof!

Being outdoors in nature, having space calms us all. I personally think going outside should be on the top of every behaviour policy! Give them space to regulate, to calm instead of trying to reason with a stressed child!

fruitsoftheforest.bsky.social @fruitsoftheforest.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

I rarely struggle with engagement, behaviour, or agency with those I work with, always high attendance, and always outdoors! None of it's rocket science, we all feel better for spending time outside. But nothing ever changes, we still keep them confined to 4 walls!

Did you have opportunities as a child to sit in nature? Do you think it would have helped you then?

Yep, completely get it! We have just managed to get all our ours under 1 roof for 4 days by the sea! First time in 5 years! I wish I appreciated it more when they were little!

Shocking but perhaps unsurprising finding by @findingnature.bsky.social that human connection to nature has declined precipitously. This is bad for our health and for the preservation of nature. The solution? Regreen, and take your kids outside. 🧪 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Yes she did! She went to Aus on her own for 8 months. She did book on an organised tour for 6 weeks when she got there which helped as she made friends and together they then traveled more and has since been to Nepal. I'd recommend using a reputable company. Plan my gap year I think is good!
