This is brilliant and encourage you to read

Ross Greene has a new book out — The Kids Who Aren’t Okay: The Urgent Case for Reimagining Support, Belonging, and Hope in Schools.

Two words in that title stopped me in my tracks: belonging and hope.

This book is aimed at educators. And it should be. Schools need to hear it.

But my mind went straight you. The ones white-knuckling their way through school drop-off. The ones sitting in their car after a meeting with the principal. The ones navigating systems that weren’t built for their kid — carrying the weight of every hard moment, every hard conversation, every hard morning.

The kids who aren’t okay? They almost always have a parent who isn’t okay either.

Belonging and hope.

That’s what Dr Greene is calling for in schools. It’s also what I want every parent in this community to feel.

If you’re a parent who isn’t okay right now — you belong here. I see you.

I think the BOM couldn’t see the fog this morning when they looked out the window.

Been ages since getting out for a long walk. Did 9km walk and could feel it.

Is it warm yet? But nice hearing the birds waking up

A bit fresh for 7km this morning. Thank god for an infrared mat to warm me back up.

Jewels had other ideas when the alarm went off so got a 5.5km run done on the treadmill

Welcome to the polyp stage within the Coral Reef Framework

Good morning shining lights,

Do you ever feel like you get to a place where you feel when it rains it pours?

After the holidays I felt like I could breathe and keep moving forward with life. However, we have just hit another hurdle where we had little Jewels de-sexed and now poor Buddy in the same week has been diagnosed with an auto immune disease.

I know at the moment I am feeling overwhelmed from it all and in a way a mouse on a treadmill. But I also have to remember that day by day we will work out the challenges and it will be ok.
