17.01.2022 The power of an apology on trust. A study (n = 180) explored the impact a simple apology could have on levels of trust in a group of 9-11 year old participants. Results demonstrated that if an apology was received after a transgression, trusting behaviours were more likely to be exhibited. What other benefits do you think apologies have for children?

12.01.2022 A new study (N=32) provides preliminary evidence that yoga and breathing exercises may improve symptoms of depression and anxiety, as well as increasing positivity, in both the short term (with each session), as well as cumulatively in the longer term (over three months). Results showed that within a month, sleep quality, tranquility, positivity, physical exhaustion and symptoms of anxiety and depression significantly improved in participants, as measured by several validated clinical scales. https://journals.lww.com//Psychological_Function,_Iyengar_

07.01.2022 A great ad to remind us to have the difficult conversations with our kids.

06.01.2022 A recent study of school children (n=3819) has found that habitual napping was significantly associated with higher happiness, grit, and self-control, reduced internalizing behavior problem, higher verbal IQs, and better academic achievement, although specific patterns varied across frequency and duration for different outcomes. More limited significant associations were found for decreased externalizing behavior problems, compared to non-nappers, while no significant associations were found for performance IQ and metabolic outcomes. https://academic.oup.com//article-abst/42/9/zsz126/5499200

03.01.2022 A new study (n=432) suggests that social anxiety may contribute to misreading facial cues and others emotions. People high in social anxiety are more likely to enter into ordinary interpersonal situations on edge, and will be primed to interpret ambiguous situations in a way that confirms their negative expectations. The researchers commented Cognitive models of Social Anxiety Disorder suggest that enhanced processing of negative social cues is at the core of this condition https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31614264
