@suzannezeedyk
about seeing COVID lockdown as an ACE for many children. It means EVERY SCHOOL needs to use a trauma-informed approach in their return.
@EducationScot
@earlyed_uk
We need to be thinking right now about ways to help children process their experiences under COVID lockdown. Schools need to feel comfortable talking about these feelings. Or COVID lockdown risks becoming an ACE.

We agree. We think every school in the country needs CPD on relationships, stress, trauma, self-regulation & attachment. Teachers deserve this. So do catering staff, admin staff, janitors, PSAs & parents... ALL the adults present in the lives of children.
@DrPhilAnders
@ACEAwareNation
An unrepresented group with no voice. There should be compulsory CPD in every local authority school in scotland.

“Trauma is not an event. It’s a response to an event.” And the crucial element is whether you have anybody to walk beside you as you carry the pain of that event — or whether you have to carry it alone.
#Relationships
are the answer. Always.
