Today Becs and Becky chat about how everyone in education has a huge responsibility to communicate kindly with children and importantly we talk about the ways children really shouldn't be spoken to or treated.

We discuss the need to be professional and use our research based practice.  Communicate how we would to our friends, if a friend did something you thought was wrong what would you do ?   We are the holders of children's wellbeing now and in the future, so we must practice with careful and kind communication and we must make sure that the environments we work in reflect this. Really value getting to know the children.

We know shouting at and shaming  children is wrong and we have a duty to do something about this, be the person that makes the difference, be the child's advocate and challenge unkind and unprofessional behaviour.
Enable children to feel safe, to be loved and to thrive ... the way forward is with you.

We had a great time at Dr Mine Conkbayir book launch and highly recommend her latest book The Neuroscience of the Developing Child Self-Regulation for Wellbeing and a Sustainable Future  it will bring the research needed for educationalist and families to understand what is actually happening for the child and their brain development when we use outdated practices such as time out, shaming and shouting plus so much more,  so discover and see why we always say educators truly are #brainscientists
