Where do I start?
If you are new to the Phoenix Cups, this is the order I suggest. Each one builds on the last, and each one stands on its own if you only have time for one.

A few articles from the blog that I keep sending people back to. All free, all mine.
From Behaviour 'Management' to Fostering Wellbeing Where the Phoenix Cups came from, and why behaviour management had to go. If you read one, read this. Teaching, Not Training Why your child's educators don't use sticker charts, gold stars or reward systems. Written for families, useful for teams. Connection Seeking: Reframing Attention Seeking One word changes how you respond to the child who needs you most. Say What You See, Ask a Question A six-year-old on a hot basketball court, and the language strategy he taught me. Biting Happens in the Early Years, and When It Does, It's Useful Information Five needs behind a bite, and Jack, who stopped biting in two days once we found his Cup. Strong Foundations: Neuroscience and Emotional Development in the Early Years Why emojis and flashcards cannot teach emotions, and what affective neuroscience suggests instead. Flow Pedagogy Slowing down with purpose. Designing for deep involvement instead of programming activity after activity.
Are you in an educational leadership position?
Join me for live sessions and a whole term of Community of Practice in our leadership program, the Strong Leaders Community of Practice. Bring your team, bring the problems you are carrying, and leave each session with one question and one action.
