April Brown Consulting

My newest blog for Making Caring Common at HGSE explores ways we can help kids persevere. I've learned over the years as a parent that if I want to raise kids who take risks and remain hopeful through the challenges and changes life brings, I need to practice these core skills myself. ?? It's a challenging journey & one that is never finished. How do you help your kids persevere? #MentalHealth #ParentingTips #Parenting https://lnkd.in/eEbbrDT5

My March newsletter is out :) During a conversation with my therapist, we spoke about the type of grown-up childhood April needed when she was small. After some emotional reflections, she gently said, "April, you are becoming that person." How many of us are becoming the grown-up we needed when we were small? If you're looking for some ways to lean in this spring, check out the invitations in the newsletter. **Subscribe** Heading to aprilbrownconsulting.com, scroll to the bottom of the page, and enter your email in the space under "Get Monthly Updates" [Image description: 2-3 year-old April, wearing colorful hats and a bright yellow hat.

My newest newsletter via April Brown Consulting is out and my question for you is, "Have you checked in with your heart lately?" ??

I recently had a discussion with the head of an Edtech company who thought that teachers should be happy now that things are back to normal after COVID. ?? That's so far from the reality that we're seeing within our Educator Forever community. So for this NEW podcast episode, I invited April Brown, our amazing Director of Learning and Development here at Educator Forever, to talk with me about one of our very favorite subjects, which is how to support teachers to truly thrive. ? Listen in as we discuss what's not being seen outside of the world of teaching and what would truly help teachers thrive. #TeachersMatter #TeacherSupport #TeacherWellbeing #TeacherWellness #TeacherLife #EdChat

My January newsletter is out! "As a highly sensitive person, bearing witness to the injustice of the world means I must find ways to balance holding space for joy and pain simultaneously. As an educator and advocate for children, my life's commitment has always been to speak out against oppressive environments and mindsets." Thank you for being here with me, using your actions and words to make the world a better place for everyone. ??
