As a wee birthday present can you leave a comment on whatever platform you found this episode if you have enjoyed any episode? If you want to delve a little deeper: a very interesting new health research projects of the past decade or so has looked at how exactly exercise makes us feel good. Research shows that there appears to be a clear scientific reason, that we can see at a cellular level. When muscles contract, they secrete chemicals into the bloodstream. Among these chemicals are myokines, which have been referred to as “hope molecules”. These small proteins travel to the brain, cross the blood-brain barrier, and act as an antidepressant. They do this by improving our mood, our ability to learn, our capacity for locomotor activity, and protect the brain from the negative effects of ageing. This has been referred to as “muscle-brain cross-talk” The secret to why exercise is so good for mental health? ‘Hope molecules’ | Devi Sridhar | The Guardian  Devi Sridhar is Chair of Global Public Health at the University of Edinburgh.

Sometimes a child will need additional support with their learning and/or behaviour...and that is fine.Suzanne will put all parents at ease and explain every child is a wonder, and that there is no shame or guilt to be had in being contacted by a school's SEN Department, who are ready to offer their professional, empathetic support, as we endeavour to take out the stigma out of SEN. Enjoy.
