Hi, I’m wondering if anyone has a simple form that a parent can use to track/observe their child’s behaviour at home? I’m thinking the kind of form used in schools to observe target behaviour. The purpose is to inform any possible future assessment. TIA ☺️

There’s something really special being witness to young teenage girls championing their girl friends as they bravely step forward to perform a solo piece. I was lucky to see this, girls supporting girls, this evening at my daughters’ school Christmas carol service ✨🎄✨ #ActionsNotWords

These losers do this because their only shot at companionship is a hostage situation, so they spend all day harassing people into thinking a woman’s self worth should resemble their own. If they tried being kind and not approaching every relationship as a transaction, they would be much happier

at some point we're going to need to accept that the human brain was not meant to be aware of every possible bad and terrifying thing immediately via a little computer you keep in your pocket and that actively taking breaks is vital and not apathetic

Immigration was top priority for just 6% of voters 6% We have always been a nation of emigrants. We still are. The far right's call of 'Ireland is full' has landed with only the most potato-brained nationalists And not a single right winger won a seat #ge24 www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

Far-right candidates fail to break through, defying global trends

National Alliance’s vote management falls short on results with even high-profile candidates missing out

Rejection sensitivity is central to ADHD, autism, and cPTSD. Mental health services rarely understand rejection sensitivity, which is why people in all three diagnostic categories are so often told there is something wrong with their personality. There isn’t. #HumanNotPD

Carefully, skilfully building a sense of relational safety back into a person’s life so they can feel accompanied in their most frightening moments is often disparaged by proponents of the medical model. But to me this is the definition of “care”.

Every woman I know particularly of an older age (I'm ancient ) has a story on the scale of physical, mental, or sexual abuse in their lifetime from inappropriate comments to non consensual touch , coercion, and yes rape , rape , that they didn't report. And still here we are .

There is a very simple reason why the UK government refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza. If they did, they would be admitting their own complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

It is often important for me to connect with the granular soil of the Earth beneath my feet & other times it’s critical for me to connect to the recognition that the rock we call home & Earth is infinitesimal. The awe of both is important for my own grounding.

One of my real frustrations w the Ed system has been the pattern of leaders denying a crisis when the people in the midst of it are crying for support. It’s gaslighting, it’s damaging to trust, weakens relationships & you can be sure the students do not benefit.

How can we be surprised w the lack of applicants for leadership posts in education? Newer teachers have seen the physical &mental toll of these roles & have grown up listening to everyone talking about the NB of work life balance. They simply read the memo! #Edchatie #EduSky

Sharing a piece I wrote this week for @thejournal.ie examining how ‘teacher bashing’ in media narratives shapes public perception, influences policies, and diverts attention from education reform @dcuioe.bsky.social www.thejournal.ie/readme/micha...

thejournal.ie

Opinion: 'Teacher bashing' is a global phenomenon, absolving governments of their failed policies

DCU’s Dr Alan Gorman says teacher bashing is happening everywhere, and it suits the political and corporate class to scapegoat the profession.

3 years ago I left my job of 20years. It felt like a massive leap but with the incredible power of social persuasion, the belief of fantastic women in my ability, I not only survived but am thriving. I say to encourage you to consider your impact on others’ belief in their ability. 💫✨ #Efficacy
