What's behind the rise in school absence? 🎥 We've highlighted the wider factors fuelling the problem - now we need the Government to tackle these as part of its efforts to boost attendance. Learn more: centreformentalhealth.org.uk/publications/n… #NotInSchool @CYPMentalHealth
I've just been meeting Eliza Fricker (@_MissingTheMark) to update our low demand parenting webinar for tomorrow. It's about emotions - how do children learn to manage their emotions, how parents help and how some of what we're told is 'good parenting' can make things worse.…
When our young people are struggling it is not that the want or desire to be included is not there it’s just they can’t. Our role as adults is to find ways they can have positive experiences.
Heartbreaking. We need holistic support for families.

This headline factually incorrect @Telegraph you don’t get PIP or any other benefits because you have a diagnosis. You have to have a rigorous unfair assessment as to your care needs. Only if you need support in your daily living and or mobility do you get anything.1
1/12 A setting can/ cannot 'Meet need'. Such a cold phrase, conjuring up privileged people, not attempting to 'know, love, care for' a person, but instead discarding & excluding them. Worse, this a one-sided decision, where lived experience voices are all too often excluded.
The rise in school absences coincides with the rise in childhood poverty, mental health problems and longer waiting times for support. The government ‘must reduce the use of sanctions’. Thank you for this important report @CentreforMH and those who contributed @teamsquarepeg.

@naomicfisher @_MissingTheMark I have been practising low demand parenting, and it's been a game changer. Some people on the outside think I am too soft, but it has improved our sons anxiety (and subsequently ours) significantly. We have so much more fun as a family now and less tension and stress.
For PDAers, having to follow a strict schedule or routine can be extremely overwhelming and cause a lot of anxiety. One way to navigate this is by offering choices instead of making demands. #Education #PDA #SEND
I know you can't pour from an empty cup but it's so so hard to fill. Reminders like this really help.

I've just been meeting Eliza Fricker (@_MissingTheMark) to update our low demand parenting webinar for tomorrow. It's about emotions - how do children learn to manage their emotions, how parents help and how some of what we're told is 'good parenting' can make things worse.…
Children don’t need carers. They need adults who delight in their very existence. They need adults who love being around them, and love seeing them thrive.
@jsandler1978 @riko_sekiguchi @Cartoonmuseumuk @_MissingTheMark @GullenHayley Thank you very much for coming along to the event, and for your review!
We made this set of short free-to-access videos for parents and carers of autistic children.
