I was buzzing with excitement and pride to work with colleagues to share these #edpsychs updates from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 ❤️ Thanks so much for the opportunity @edpsy.bsky.social

Chuffed to continue the to another piece for BBC Bitesize - Learning at Home section 🤩 Thanks so much ro Jo for sharing and developing ideas together www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/art...

📢 Calling all Trainee EPs! Expressions of interest to join our edpsy TEP group close next week! The energy and grassroots innovation of TEPs deserves a greater chance to influence what we do. Hear more from Dan below, and more here: edpsy.org.uk/blog/2025/we... #edpsychs - please share 😀

Thanks so much Dan 💜🥰

Delighted to contribute and chat about things that can support families learn together at home 💜 www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/art...

This is an intersting blog for anyone keen to learn more about GLP. www.meaningfulspeech.com/blog/detecti...

This is definitely my experience too. You have to understand the context in which the phrase was learnt in order to understand what it means to the person. Like one child I knew who would say ‘good boy’ when he wanted to end an interaction.

Thanks so much for sharing @edpsy.bsky.social 💜

Thanks so much to @BPSOfficial and @cypnow for collaborating here, supporting solutions for all those that champion and advocate for our children. Reflecting on how we view and talk about children is an important priority for sharing how we support them 💜 www.cypnow.co.uk/content/blog...

Wonderful to collab with so many colleagues on another #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek video Thanks to all who contributed about why it's so important for children to develop self-awareness and understanding. @bpsofficial.bsky.social @place2becharity.bsky.social #edpsychs youtube.com/shorts/qgCAp...

An increase in individual ‘problems’ or a context that needs solutions? 💜 @fair.play.psychology and I wrote some reflections down for the latest issue of Children in Wales - Plant yng Nghymru Magazine on behalf of voluntary network Psychologists for Social Change Cymru 💜 Pg. 30 bit.ly/3WQz2hs

#ChildrensMentalHealthWeek 💜

@PsychEdMum over on Insta too 💜

#wellbeingleadstowelldoing There is a ‘me’ first in mental health 💜

Advancing research on #immune conditions & mental health is crucial for understanding @panspandasuk.bsky.social Read about the latest efforts in this field: panspandasuk.org/post/furtherin…#PansPandasHouru#Researchc#Neuror#MentalHealthMattersrs @NIHRBioResourc#immunehealthth

💯% this. Mental health/wellbeing exists in, develops in and is maintained or damaged by context. Individual factors may well be a part of the picture, but they are in no way the whole picture.

Ideas to support ‘mental health’ are often based on the that it is something completely internal and ‘within’ a person only. Yet, the reality is that we don’t exist separately from a context around us and our experiences of that. We can’t separate ourselves from this. They shape things for us. 1/4

A wonderful morning yesterday with teachers and students on the National MA Education (Wales) as part of the Emotional and Mental Health & Wellbeing Module. I created most slides from my hobby Insta graphics 💜 So proud to share & reflect with such champions of our children and young people 🥇🦸‍♂️

If you watch one thing today make sure it's this 2 minute video from children in care explaining the emotions and experiences behind their seemingly 'rude' behaviour. Vital for all school staff. Please share widely. youtu.be/waeRP6jzW_U?... Thanks to Dr Karen Treisman. #edpsychs #sendco

Truly, this applies to EPs!

Thanks so much for spending your precious time listening and sharing your thoughts - I so agree 💜

Always alongside, together, in appreciative collaboration. As we have been considering today at #PositiviTEA we are just humans; fallible, imperfect, a bundle of complexities... which is to be embraced 🥰 #EdPsychs

Had such a brilliant time in the company of these super skilled and talented future EPs @psychbites.bsky.social Thanks for creating the space and for all your wonderings to reflect further. 💜 open.spotify.com/episode/605R...

Loved this article from Joanna Stanbridge & James Wood via @schoolsweek.bsky.social "...it is imperative to look upstream and to begin to disentangle the mass of issues that surrounds our education system." schoolsweek.co.uk/solving-the-... #edusky #EdPsychs

Helpful padlet about a range of differences and needs.

"The child becomes exhausted trying to convince clinicians of their perspective, defending against expertise based on preconceived, erroneous, medicalized, or neuronormative ideas" Excellent paper on experience sensitive approaches to autistic healthcare. Very relevant for education too. #EdPsychs

"A lasting solution would also involve the recognition of something fundamental: that there are things we now know about education and child psychology that cannot be forgotten, and that embedding them in the way government provides education and care is going to need extra money." #edpsychs

💜

Tickets are available if you fancy being in the audience for this discussion. Looking forward to participating. www.bbc.co.uk/showsandtour...

More than ever Palestinian children need our help and support. It is absolutely devastating what is happening to them. We live in a cruel and horrible world #Edpsychs #Edusky

I'd like to do a blog in the future on books TEPs have found useful to support their training/ would be helpful for AEPs, applicants or even EPs to reconnect with some basics around Educational Psychology practice. Have a few up my sleeve already but #edpsychs any recommendations I can add in?

"Your child might feel many emotions, including sad, angry or scared. Be available for them, don't be too quick to distract them, and at the end, remind them of all the good things about starting school" Practical advice in this article from @psychedmum.bsky.social about starting school. #EdPsychs

Me too!

www.bps.org.uk/news/navigat... A little re-share in case useful this year. Thanks again to The British Psychological Society for inviting this collab 💜 #startingschool #edpsychs
