Today, I had the pleasure to discuss - with some incredible educators - why we need a systemic approach to combat chronic absenteeism. My piece: Our brains are built to make predictions about whether we’ll survive and thrive in all environments. If we perceive the environment https://t.co/Ow7aG8eSQy

Just because we age doesn’t mean emotions get easier. Fear still shows up. So does sadness. And frustration. But with emotional intelligence… we start to notice them sooner. Name them more clearly. Respond with more intention. That’s the work. Not to feel less— but to https://t.co/EfXWeyNY03

I’m no weatherman… But after 40° rain, surprise snow, and whatever last week was— I think it’s safe to say: spring is finally here. (If you live in CT, you know.) Which means it might be time for a little utepils…that moment of sun-soaked joy when you pause, sit outside, and https://t.co/5slFi0rfim

The data are clear. We are addicted to our devices. The data are clear. We are lonelier than ever before. The data are not clear that technology is the primary factor that’s causing loneliness. I have a hunch it’s something much deeper. Our overuse of technology is a

How many of you had a tough time labeling your feelings? 75% raised their hands! How many of you will lose focus today? 95% raised their hands? Think we need an emotion education? What an honor to open the #mentalhealthsummit in Banff today. Another 350 educators taking part in https://t.co/IYPfdURwrd

Anxiety doesn’t just turn up the volume. It changes the channel. You’re seeing fun. They’re seeing danger. That mismatch? It’s what makes anxious kids feel misunderstood. Have you ever been that kid? Or are you raising one now? New episode with Dr. Eli Lebowitz is live. https://t.co/ZBEDHtwHuT

Kids don’t need you to erase their anxiety. They need to know they can feel it… and still be okay. This week on Dealing With Feelings, I spoke with Dr. Eli Lebowitz (@YaleCSC) about childhood anxiety, family dynamics, and how to build emotional strength—without overprotection.

What fun to be back at the #asugsvsummit and #asugsvaishow for a keynote on the power of emotion regulation. Yes #ai can support healthy development, but it can’t replace human connection and interaction. Sorry, all, we have to do the work. No quick fixes! #PermissionToFeel https://t.co/g0ThS238r2

I discovered a new form of anxiety. Just off a flight and sat next to someone who did not put her phone down for a minute. From texting to X to Instagram to email to who knows what - over and over and over. Not only did I feel this person’s anxiety but I started feeling

Meraki isn’t just “try your best.” It’s pour your soul into it. Not just “make the sandwich.” Make it like someone will remember it. Not just “write the lesson plan.” Write it like it could change a kid’s life. It’s the art of leaving a piece of yourself behind— in your work, https://t.co/lqcFxsPHi1

If this made you exhale… it’s for you. You don’t have to explain it. You don’t have to justify it. You don’t even have to understand it yet. Some feelings just want to move through you. Not to be fixed. Just felt. Let that be enough today https://t.co/ReHBlJ5wcl

SEL doesn’t start with kids.  It starts with us—the adults still learning how to feel, and lead with feeling.  🔗 https://t.co/TO4dkod7MX Because for SEL to truly work, we have to meet people where they are. Even the grandma who never learned to express emotion—until she was https://t.co/FSSp6jmDjI

Always a learner. And always having fun with @stuartablon — our takeaway? Cognition and emotion are inextricably linked. As they say, “you can’t do one without the other!”
