The Intentional Stance and its Role in Political Discourse | Opinion
If the news is correct (and it often isn’t) the polarity between political, racial, cultural and religious groups is growing and hardening. This article helps us create a mindset that sees beyond the closed-minded approach of black and white, your way or my way and my way or the highway. Just remember, the role of news is to shock and entertain you. I often find they report the worst and tell us it is the average.

How to Forgive Ourselves for What We Can’t Change
https://apple.news/Ab_ZcUmzdTeyOihMdNASSZg
This is an excerpt from a series of podcasts called, “How to Start Over.” It is worth the listen as we strive to build a wellspring of self-compassion that flows into empathy for others.

The Pandemic Taught Us That Kids Are Resilient. Parents Are Not.
This personal reflection article reminds us of the angst many parents feel after having children locked in and away from playdates for multiple years. In this case, the mother has never had a playdate for her young child. The article points out that children are more resilient and bounce back better than adults. I don’t think that applies to tweens and teens who many would arguably have had the worst experience during this pandemic. It would help us to remember that resilience comes from being able to reveal and categorize our adverse experiences with another person. Someone whose regulated personal behavior can meet us where our dysregulated needs are raw and bring us to their level of calm.

California's crack-of-dawn school ban could set a national trend

Finally, a state education system that is looking at research and responding to meet children’s needs! There is a link below (02.08.2022) to research indicating children need a minimum of nine hours sleep at night, that is a minimum. That amount increases for teens whose brains are growing in overtime and consuming huge amounts of energy. This means caregivers must help young people regulate BOTH sides of the sleep equation: Being ready for sleep and waking up. More school systems need to “wake up” to the damage short sleep cycles inflict on young people and how it affects their learning and behavior. Thanks for this start, California!

Watch: Boy dances after falling from his bicycle, inspires social media users
My most enjoyable link this week, perhaps also the most educational as well. Consider how much we could learn from using this boy’s response to a life-fail. Watch this with your family, team, young people and create an opportunity for discussion around celebrating failure.
