#EFSDP Educators scan their classes for children who appear distressed, distracted often inhibited some teachers have told me children from parents that do not live in harmony can be the bullies. Double edge sword here. Why? Doctors often prescribe Ritalin or Adderall! This is why Educators for Sensible Drug Policy are looking at #cannabis as an alternative to these pharmaceuticals. The research strongly suggests CBD helps calm the aggressive and or agitated behaviours in some children. If indeed the children subjected to an ‘at war’ mentality are spotted in a classroom the collaboration of parent and educator becomes crucial for the child’s development.
Yelling isn't just yelling. The brain doesn't know the difference. MRI scans show children living in high-conflict homes have hyper-reactive threat centers identical to soldiers with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). Their amygdala stays on constant alert, scanning for danger that isn't there. A hostile home rewires a child's brain for war. Source: University College London / Child Development

My sister has osteoporosis she said “it’s easier to dance than to walk” Dancin’ can make you happy!!
Kathy has "walking pneumonia". She got it from me. We share everything! But still, she came out dancing with me last night. We both took it easy, but once again had a great time. Meeting people, dancing and smiling. Another Friday night booked! I just started dancing again after twenty years since a TBI in 2006. Its awesome! I got her these PJs from the hospital gift shop. Shes worth it!
