#FamilyWise Compassionate Parenting #3 👋 Thought for the week: Compassion isn’t a trait you either have or don’t — it is a practice - and compassion can flow in situations. Sometimes we give it easily to others. Sometimes we can’t feel it in situations at all. #EduSky #Edpsychs ⏬

I just got back from my first solo-retreat since becoming a father, 18 months ago. It was in Epping Forest, I was excited! The balancing act between parent and profession is real, so it felt good to be able to take the time. I had many grand plan but I felt tense...⏬
