Proud of this endorsement from Paul Bowen regarding the ⁦@RaisingMoxie⁩ 2 hour lecture for organizations and schools that serve kids.

Hard, but much-needed convo. Kids first. No assumptions

Teachers at work: 'Calm down.' Teachers at home: 'Don’t tell me to calm down.' Meanwhile Insta-critics balk when Dr. Hodges says focus on literacy needs, not just "calming" illiterate students. Really? 🤔 Podcast: youtu.be/EI6t2_u8na4

The mental health aspect that has exploded as a curriculum model is reflexive by design. This is every SEL program. Creat the problem: Label every child as having trauma. Solution: institute school-wide and classroom-wide psychotherapy programs. This obviously comes with a…

Nice episode. Highlights the importance of focusing on literacy/ academics over behavioral/mental health agendas as well as touching upon other aspects such as discipline and hyper focus of schools to assume the role curator of the “whole child” Relating to disciple, thoughts…

your army colleague was on to something

Courage is always available. Refusing to reach for it isn’t circumstantial—it’s a decision. One we make daily.

I love the APA and want it to succeed, but I am not sure that this statement is most representative of the sources they cite. To say "There is no overall evidence that SSRIs are unsafe during pregnancy" They cite Clarke et al. 2023's white paper, which indeed says "Recent…

I think it's good. I like to emphasize the bidirectional aspect just like you did: "influence and are influenced by"

I think community schools seek to create a nurturing warmth. But they are students, not the systems children. I remember after a particularly emotionally hard downsizing (from 300 to 200) at my miltech company. Deep in replanning, my former Army colleague was practically…

Dr Hodges' perspective isn't necessarily popular - But she's basing it on research, clinical experience, her work with schools, and her own journey as a person with dyslexia. Im grateful she was willing to swim vs. the tide, with us, for kids' sake.

Change is coming. Recording @RaisingMoxie training this past two days with the assistance of friends and colleagues! This is an incredible experience and I would not change it for anything in the world. Photo credit to @KristinTarlow

Thanks for sharing this @rickhess99 Our reliance on popularized programs rather than leaning on science has gotten us here. Too many uninformed cooks in the kitchen. Next thing we know we are putting out fires. My gosh, I cannot rush this blog post out to the world fast…

🎉 @RaisingMoxie’s working definition for emotions has been approved by colleagues in the field of affective neuroscience. 🎉 It is a good day. Yeah!

"If you want to increase suffering, you fundamentally get people to battle their own internal experiences. You learn not to trust your emotions, you judge them as symptoms." We are facing an epidemic of iatrogenic harm. Manufacturing a disease to sell more drugs. There are better…

Sanity steps in. @KarinMariaPsyD and @KJWinEducation are pointing the spotlights at all the rational places.
