Hi, I’m Michelle.
All behaviour that concerns somebody, is in some way social.
It takes someone to:
• Hold an expectation
• Observe the behaviour, and
• Interpret the behaviour
For a behaviour to be “concerning”.
My purpose is just to invite grown ups to consider their own expectations when talking about children’s behaviour.
What do you think?

‘Pushing through’ and ‘getting on with it’ were the skills that were prioritised.
‘Being fine and compliant’ was a thing that I practiced.
I was so, so good at being quiet, agreeable, perfect.
I would be much better off now if these skills (pictured) had been prioritised, or even talked about at all.
Because I have needed them as an adult.
And I don’t have them.
And that has left me more vulnerable and powerless than I ever thought I would be.
Yes?
