Can I introduce the Coventry Grid on Autism vs Attachment Problems? So many of our children have adverse experiences & sometimes that can be mistaken for Autism (can co-occur) but it can be so helpful to reflect more when wondering what’s going on? #EdChatIE www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/sites/defaul...

Just a reminder that SMART goals are not as empirically sound as you might think they are (at least for physical activity and exercise). Full article: The (over)use of SMART goals for physical activity promotion: A narrative review and critique www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

No filters required on a very grey day especially at Gourock sea front earlier. Continuing on the grey theme - next week’s reading arrived when I was out.

Back home and writing up chapter 5 of this phd thesis. It’s been great going down unexpectedly illuminating rabbit holes and into areas of psychology I hadn’t considered. I’ve always loved being a psychologist and writing this study up has been a bit like the icing on that psychological cake.
