We are a nurture classroom based at Lynburn Primary School. Child centred and relational led.

Joined August 2018
We have created an entire classroom based upon the Neurosequential Model of Dr Bruce Perry. The Lighthouse classroom is designed to steer pupils towards emotional and physical safety through Regulate, Relate, Reason. A thread 🧵 @BDPerry

We’re excited to welcome Betty the Rocking Horse to our team. She offers children the chance to regulate their bodies through calming, rhythmic movement. Betty has already proven popular, encouraging turn-taking and shared enjoyment.

Peer Mediation training began today. This is our 5th cohort of pupils to learn these fundamental relational skills. About half of them had made use of mediation in previous years. Their roles are an important and valued part of our culture at Lynburn. @ScotMediation

The rupture/repair cycle is at the foundation of healthy relationships. Understanding this relational dynamic allows us to make subtle yet powerful shifts that help relationships thrive. #DaringVentures @suzannezeedyk @WellbeingInFife

For children with #PICA, sensory play needs to be safe and fun. Today, we made edible sand using @cornflakes. There were high levels of engagement. It was a fun sensory activity.

A large visual timetable to create predictability and consistency. Each transition is supported with a timer and windchimes so pupils know it's time to move on to the next task ✔️

ACEs interventions... Stress interventions... Life gets rough help... #HeartMath
When school is an overwhelming environment leading to dysregulated behaviours and the adults find a way to help you find moments of stillness allowing your nervous system to strengthen and "behaviour" to improve... #HeartMath @anam_alba

Spent some time organising my art supplies this week, and I have to say, I absolutely love Crayola's ‘Colours of the World’ pens and crayons. A simple but powerful way to make sure every child can see their own skin tone represented. #Inclusion

Belle was looking very smart after getting her back to school haircut 🐾 I'm grateful to Belle and Gail for visiting weekly and supporting our children whose biological states are easily triggered into dysregulation. Dogs co-regulate.

"Dr. Wakeman calls trauma "the gateway drug" - not cannabis or other substances" @Prev_Justice @realdcameron @garywrobinson @fionalarkin13 @Socialsessions6 @hawaii_fivo @ShivieArgyle @LynburnNurture @tessp1971 @lathan_miss @suzanne30140549 @gerrydiamond71
3. Addiction is driven by trauma, not moral weakness About 40-60% of addiction risk is genetic, similar to diabetes. The other half comes from adverse childhood experiences and trauma. Dr. Wakeman calls trauma "the gateway drug" - not cannabis or other substances.

An emotional and fitting ending brought the book to a thoughtful close. I’ve been following Darren’s work for six years, and in that time, he has challenged my thinking. I’ve come to welcome the discomfort because it helps me deepen my understanding. This book doesn't disappoint.

If we cannot have a society and systems that understand and adapt ethically, then the people within these systems can make a difference by being aware of the impact of their actions, the relational needs of others, and the importance of interactions with compassion and integrity.

Healing is a cyclical and ongoing process, not an end destination that is often romanticised. Trauma is stored in the body and re-emerges somatically, which is why healing somatically helps to dampen down the nervous system and process lingering experiences.

What stands out in Darren’s #TraumaIndustrialComplex is his courage to share his journey in the limelight and how this has impacted his nervous system. His account is raw, real, & profoundly emotional. The imprint of trauma is biological and inconveniently illogical.

Adding Darren McGarvey’s #TraumaIndustrialComplex to the #DaringVentures reading list. Essential for those navigating the trauma-informed narrative. Lots of wider messages relevant to us all. Here is what @lokiscottishrap has left me thinking...

Something to look forward to on a Saturday morning: Scotland's ACEs newsletter and a cuppa. I'm feeling uplifted by the many ways people in Scotland are putting their knowledge of ACEs into practice. Thank you for putting this together @connectedbaby 🙏
