Intentions
“Some of the most important things you can communicate to a child are that feelings are ok, mistakes are fixable and there’s nothing they could do that would push you away or make you love them less.” - Kelly Bartlett #ChallengingBehaviour #Development #Connection #ConnectedChildRaising #GordonNeufeld #Relationships

Community responses
We must come up with community responses that support children, exhibiting violent and destructive behaviour, in developing their self regulation - even if one-to-one were affordable, it's no solution; it says 'we expect you to be dangerous and incapable of better'. Children will become what they are told they are...

Instead of fighting

If you lead with humility, gentleness, and by example you will need no power at all.” - William Martin #ChallengingBehaviour #DevelopmentalTrauma #ChildhoodTrauma #Connection #Connectedness #ConnectedChildRaising #Development #Relationships #RelationalRepair #LRKnost

A vulnerable choice
