The blunders are real!

And we have to get it wrong before we get it right! Editing blooper at the beginning!!

This episode explores ACEs and the impact of these on our children and young people. How Relational Buffers are needed to minimise the impact and damage of ACEs and how children can be misdiagnosed with ADHD because of their behaviours.

As adults we need to sensitively guide children (and adults!) to challenge their narratives and rewrite it!

In this episode we explore that being vulnerable is ok when working with children and families. It makes us relatable!

Helen and Rachel share their vulnerabilities through their own stories of having children with additional needs and what it is like going through a diagnosis as a parent.

Giving dual perspectives allow a more personal experience of the EHCP process and how important the relationship with the school is.

Ever wondered what Relational and Restorative Practices are? How do they meet the unmet need and break down the barriers to learning for children with SEMH / behaviour difficulties? This episode of The Curious Teachers Podcast explores the approaches, how as adults we can adopt the approach in our practice using practical ways to implement into everyday teaching and whole school ethos.

From living in poverty and having no where to sleep to schools reducing barriers to learning by washing uniform. Every child needs a champion.
