💭 “I am confident my child will feel loved by me.” This week’s FatherGOOD explores the quiet power of example — how small acts of care shape how our children see the world. 🗣️ What’s something a child has said that’s stayed with you? 👉 tinyurl.com/5dhdtdmh #FatherGOOD

What would be different this week if you could be fully present with your family, even just for a few more moments each day? Would the mornings feel calmer? Would the evenings feel lighter? Would connection come a little easier? Let us know in the comments below! #FatherGOOD

Hey! I think it varies massively, depending on circumstances. Also, practically, you might have some preferred places you'd like to work so you might be waiting for them to advertise a vacancy :)

#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🐍🐂]

... like I wasn't "making the most of it". Here is what happened next: 🌳 I found a spot in the forest. 🌳 I sat on the ground, resting my back on a tree. 🌳 I watched the clouds move, the branches blow, the leaves shimmer. 🌳 The light changed. ⏬

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...⏬

I'm not sure I would have worked it out on my own and that is why a support network is so important. It is also why I designed The Circle of Care, which is Constellations Psychology's most popular resources (hundreds of downloads). Check it out here: www.constellationspsychology.com/resources

Care based professionals can be bad at looking after themselves - and work in systems which also make this hard - and this is not ok. Compassion focussed approaches provide tools and models which help to create and maintain processes for doing your best work, more sustainably ⏬ 👀 ❤️
