@our_children @our_children thanks for the re-tweet!
After participating in Pathways, parents gain a deeper understanding of their child's developmental needs and how those are impacted by loss and trauma -- and they gain connections to a community of other parents on a similar journey!
“Pathways’ curriculum was excellent – more parents, early on in their parenting journey, need to benefit from it.” Calling all adoptive parents! Our free training course, Pathways, still has spots available. Join a regional or specialty session today: ow.ly/VKBj50Mp6wO

@Adopt4LifeON Validate the fear: kids often have very valid reasons why school doesn't feel safe -- tell them it makes sense that they are feeling worried or fearful.
Join us every Wed. for our new Play Series. Today's episode: We've replaced play with entertainment: Why play matters and what happens when it's gone? Subscribe & share with friends! youtu.be/-JQkKPw4RVo #play #playmatters #backtoschool2021 #elemchat #edutalk #parenting
@LMazzarelloOCSB Congratulations, @LMazzarelloOCSB! Enjoy your leave 😊
Free play is how children digest their lives. It's when they make sense of their world, release frustration & anxiety, and understand experiences without them being threatening or overwhelming. #edchat #K12 #education #playoutdoors #elemchat #earlyed #reclaimingourstudents
We're halfway through the 2021 #GivingChallengeCA! All this month, every $1 donated to Twice Upon a Time via CanadaHelps enters us for a chance to win a $20,000 donation. 📚📚📚 To make a donation, please click here: ow.ly/QTxE50EZkof
@MonicaCYOW Hope it went well, Monica, and that *most of all* you felt cared for and respected while there.
Passion drew me to @dandelion_dance and the work (which feels like play) transformed my life. Now Dandelion is a part of me -- and there are many intangible ways it will live on -- because, as we are fond of saying, you can't stop Dandelion seeds from spreading!
Right now, we're grieving that we are losing such a magical & crucial space. And we are planning for an online retrospective, so that we can celebrate all that the powerhouse Dandelion girls have created! And we are committed to finding other ways for this work to live on.
Those who know me know of my passion for @dandelion_dance. Our team & community hold a deep conviction that the girls in our programs are transforming our world through their art & stories. Girls NEED & DESERVE safe spaces to share their ideas and have their voices heard...

He says it bluntly, but @HannahBeachEDU and @MonicaCYOW, I read this and couldn't help thinking about when you two doubled down and brought your distinct and wonderful skill-sets together to co-lead Dandelion!
RT @PiperTrust Could participatory grantmaking be the cultural change that philanthropy needs to shift power? bit.ly/3oMwFu1 @msmegmassey @BenWrobel #philanthropy #grantmaking #participatorygrantmaking
@MonicaCYOW Time may be of the essence and you may have already invested, but I have two very light/small watches that are knock-offs that I never really got into wearing. You'd be welcome to try them for accuracy.
