I really rate this book. Anyone else read it? Talking for a Purpose by Ms. Morrish
Hug Words is a story of affirmation, co-regulation, and identity. It takes us through ways to eliminate or reduce negative self-talk, self-criticism, and cognitive load. A truly brilliant resource for all settings, whether home, educational or therapeutic. ~ Dr Sharie, international psychotherapist
Hug Words is a wellbeing resource for primary schools inspired by the 5 Ways to Wellbeing #mindfulkids #socialemotionallearning #happyclassrooms #childrensbook #positiveparenting #wellbeinginschools #fivewaystowellbeing #primarywellbeing #positiveclassrooms #teacherresources #mentalhealthmatters
Unexpected item in the life area. I was not expecting cataract surgery last Friday - or this side of 80, to be fair!
Satisfying Wordle pattern. Wordle 1,820 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
I’ve just discovered the problem I’m having with reading is due to a cataract. It’s a defining moment and reminds me of the first time I felt my upper arms wobble as I waved. I laughed then and I’m laughing now. Are you actually joking, body?!
A gentle, practical resource to help children understand and reshape their self-talk. #HugWords coming soon…
Positive feedback from a deputy head of a primary school ⬇️ “Absolutely loved Hug Words. Gave me goosebumps at the end. It’s such a beautiful, gentle story focusing on the small things that can bring joy.” #HugsWords #SelfAcceptance
