"We have the power to shape our children's attitudes and beliefs, and instil values of acceptance, inclusivity and respect for all. By fostering acceptance, we can help young people become compassionate and informed advocates for equality."

"Trauma presents in children in various ways, depending on their age, previous experience, and personal resilience. When they encounter traumatic events, their brain processes these emotions, storing them as powerful memories."
Dr Michael Carr-Gregg
"It is not that we shouldn't encourage young people or avoid asking how they performed on a difficult test. Instead, we should encourage students to untangle their self-worth from achievement and redefine their success by emphasising the importance of resilience, wellbeing, and the pursuit of diverse interests."
Dr Michael Carr-Gregg

"When children encounter traumatic events, their brain processes these emotions, storing them as powerful memories. It's natural for them to be curious, concerned, or even scared. Their world view is still forming, and these events can be overwhelming and difficult for them to process."
Dr Michael Carr-Gregg
“If you swear at someone, or about someone, you are actually committing an act of verbal violence. You transgress the usual rules of social interaction, impinging upon someone's self-image and their sense of dignity."

“As human beings, our brains haven’t evolved fast enough to adapt to the digital world that we now live in. This means that the overload of messages that we receive through ever-present media platforms often results in stress, anxiety, and overwhelm."
Dr Emma Woodward
“Whilst most children are resilient and seem to be demonstrating a remarkable capacity to manage this challenging time, others are not faring as well. This makes it really important for parents to be vigilant for any signs of distress."
Dr Michael Carr-Gregg
“Disappointment is a normal, though difficult, part of growing up and can be a tricky emotion to deal with at any age. How your children learn to respond to disappointment will determine its impact on their future achievement and happiness.”
