How true this is! You can’t fix what’s wrong if you don’t know the cause. In my opinion and through my children’s experiences, schools are one of the main contributing factors of poor mental health in children. This probably applies to the teachers as well. We are conditioned to think children have to go to school or that teachers know best. We are told our children are ‘fine’ in school. Sadly, for so many they are not. It’s a very archaic broken system that is damaging our children.
Naomi, have you heard of Jen Foster? Please look her up. She's trying to make huge waves in how primary schools shape their behaviour policies on a way that truly sees and respects children. She's truly inspirational. I believe we need a to communicate across disciplines of we want to create a movement for change. Your voice is so important, and so is Jen's. But it won't be heard by enough people on its own. You need to amplify your voices by collaborating. Get in touch with her. See what happens. You've got nothing to lose by trying. 💪

Well said!
We are good at looking at the branches, not so great at getting to the root. We are all canaries in the coal mines. Kids, especially. Thanks for this!
