Welcome back to part 4 of our conversation with Daniel Patterson! Today we're talking all about toxic positivity. What's the difference between optimism and toxic positivity. How can we recognize the signs that we aren't validating feelings, but brushing off the depression and anxiety that our kids might be feeling? How is toxic positivity with children different from that with our partners and colleagues? -- Did you know you can book a mini Get Your Teach On conference for YOUR school?
