Another lab note! In this one I reflect on what I've learned from important adoptee mentors in my life and then importance of paying it forward, and I share some thoughts and resources about adoption as a tactic of violence in civil wars and conflicts. https://lnkd.in/guAZGnRr

What a wise thought, social skills at its best.
"I heard my mother asking the neighbors for salt." But we had salt in the house. I asked her why she was asking the neighbors for salt. And she answered me: —Because our neighbors don't have a lot of money and often they ask us for something. From time to time, I also ask them for something small and inexpensive, so that they feel that we need them too. This way they will feel more comfortable and easier for them to keep asking us for everything they need." Respect for human dignity is undoubtedly one of the noblest feelings. And that's exactly what I learned from my parents... Let's build empathetic, humble, supportive children and other values to be valued..!!!…" - Courtesy: Fatima Anfig

In a recent edition of Exchange Every Day dedicated to embracing families, communities, and culture, Monica Wells, our family and community program administrator, shared her deep connection to families and communities and how it positively impacts children's success. "Strong, authentic relationships between our families, students, and educators are key. We must speak life into our students, cheer them on, teach them the skills, and provide the tools they need to be prepared for the future. We must show examples of the power, importance, and necessity of community." Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gc7ur8uu

Link to Blog - https://bit.ly/3I7Z1t8 Having heartfelt conversations with your children is like nurturing the roots of a thriving relationship garden. Prioritizing these moments fosters an environment of openness and acceptance, where children feel heard, valued, and empowered to express themselves authentically. Never be stuck again for an idea on how to engage your children in conversation! These ideas are inspirational and fun for both you and the children. Children have a hard time giving an accurate account to answer the question, "How was your day?" However, when you engage meaningfully with your children, you'll be surprised how quickly they can open up! https://bit.ly/3I7Z1t8

Discovering Why You Were Born “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” Mark Twain There are two types of people, the enlightened or the unenlightened. There are those who renounce violence as the natural outcome of finding one’s purpose. If you are brought up in a home rooted in love and understanding you will lead a life where violence has no place as it contradicts the reason for your existence. Some children are born into loving, nurturing environments and attend schools that teach fellowship. Some children are born into loving, nurturing families but attend schools that propagandize intolerance. Some are born into harsh, intolerable conditions and attend schools that proselytize intolerance. The greatest danger a generation faces is being born to grow up and be taught that facts and history are fictional and unimportant resulting in a world where the violent attacker is viewed as the hero and the defender is the perpetrator.

Having spent 26years within the early years education and care sector, i have seen a great deal of change. How the sector and the workforce who commit to it day in day out are valued is always worthy of a lively debate. Fundamentally the sector, amongst many important things, provides key infrastructure within the UK for young carers in early childhood. As Dr Nathan Archer, Dr Fufy Demissie and Professor Sally Pearse state in this article, nurseries and settings are 'well placed as social hubs, civic spaces and centres for community cohesion. It also appears that these settings are increasingly stepping into spaces left vacant by services which have seen a reduction in public' funding.' The early years education and care sector has an imperative role to play in the early support and identification of young carers, yet how can they achieve this consistently when they themselves are under supported and undervalued? The interdisciplinary focus groups will explore this debate during the first strand of the Young Carers in Early Childhood research programme. Keep following as details of how to get involved will be shared very soon. #youngcarersearlychildhood #Pengreen #ShapingUs #Carerstrust University of Plymouth
