#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 ⏬

A lot of my work is about "creating the conditions". So, it felt nice to be able to actually practice what I preach. ❓ How do you like to create the conditions for yourself? [I also saw a grass snake and massive bull - I guess the early bird catches the wild animals🐍🐂]

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...⏬

Educational Psychologists will have a large part to play containing these emotions and thinking about ways forward with school communities. The compassion research base maps onto this challenge perfectly: focussing on the awareness of suffering and distress and their prevention and reduction ⏬
