WATCH: Quiet Praise
In this video, I explore some simple ideas for expressing pride and praise when working with or caring for a child who doesn't respond well to praise.
LISTEN: Overwhelm in the Classroom
In this episode of the Pooky Ponders Podcast, I delve into the issue of children feeling overwhelmed in the classroom. From sensory sensitivities to emotional dysregulation, I explore the myriad reasons behind this distress and offer a suite of practical strategies designed to create a more supportive and understanding learning environment.

DOWNLOAD: Tricky Moments Plan
It can help to plan ahead for tricky moments and consider what trusted adults can do to help in this situation. Having a clear plan in place can often prevent things from escalating. Here’s a simple resource to help.
READ: Happy
I’m researching a lot about happiness, joy, purpose, connection and so forth at the moment and of the many books I’ve read, this one has stood out. It’s pragmatic but practical and an enjoyable read as well as an inspiring one. Far better than I assumed it would be… (and the cover makes me happy!) The audible version is excellent.
SMILE: Chatty Birds
These birds made me smile what do you think they’re chattering so incessantly about?
