Seriously. In her work across Canada and the US, child psychologist Jody Carrington has met hundreds of kids, families, and their support systems. Regardless of where she’s traveled or the specific circumstances of these encounters, the message she’s received from concerned parents and educators has been the same: Our kids are okay only if those of us trying to support them are okay.During a child’s development, educators become a crucial connection point, with the potential to make a huge impact on a student’s well-being. But are the educators okay? Jody Carrington believes that most great educators want to make a difference. However, many educators are finding it more and more difficult "these days" to love what they do. It's time we did a better job of looking after them first. Plain and simple.This book is for those who work in educational settings: our teachers, bus drivers, administrators, educational assistants, librarians, administrative assistants, and custodians. It’s also for anyone who leads, loves, and supports them. If you have a kid, work with a kid, or love a kid, you will find something inspiring in these pages, possibly even game-changing.

Dr. D. Scharie Tavcer, Associate Professor in the Department of Economics, Justice, and Policy Studies at Mount Royal University.
I feel privileged to teach and supervise students – future justice workers. I have one particular agenda within all of the content in my curriculum: teaching my students to put compassion and empathy in their toolboxes. I want my students to realize that each of us has a story – we know someone who struggles with addiction, sexual assault, mental illness, or is in an abusive relationship … or maybe it’s us. And how people treat us, how people make us feel, has a huge impact on the way we navigate in this world and deal with trauma. Our clients are the same: how we make them feel will make a difference in how they recover and how they reintegrate back into society.

If you have a kid in your life - read this book!

I am a Grandmother and this book was recommended to me by a close friend, who is a school principal. This book provided me with a huge insight into my grandsons' and their learning path. So very different from the manner in which I was raised - I am now 70 - and Dr. Jody Carrington delivers great and simple advice. Worthwhile read for teachers and those of us who just love kids.

A honest looking at reconnecting with kids

Reviewed in Canada on May 22, 2020

An honest and genuine look at our school systems, the kids in them, and their surrounding supports. It's a wonderful approach to understanding on reconnecting to understand kids, educators, and everyone inbetween. Dr Jodys personality comes through her writing so it is most certainly anything but a dry read.

This book is meant for teachers and people in the school system. I’m not a teacher. I am a father of two daughters. A husband of an amazing wife. This book has helped me understand how to be a better father and husband in so many ways. If you want to become a better human being you need to read this book.

I absolutely loved this book! Dr. Jody Carrington is great at speaking your language and staying REAL. I am not an educator, but as a parent I took some things away from this book and have been trying them with my children. I recommend this 100%!!

Every teacher should read this book

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2020

I am a teacher and in the district I teach in we are learning about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE's). This book helped me to understand ACE's on a deeper level and to understand the importance of our role as teachers and how much of an impact we can have. This book is not about ACE's, it's about connections and how important they are with the students who come through our door. We may know our students well, or at least we think we do, but how much do we really know about what is happening in their world? Connections with students can make a huge impact with all our students from the most engaged to the most vulnerable. Connecting with every students is what our 21st Century learners need more than anything. I highly recommend this book. Thank you Jody for you words of wisdom and for being so honest and real.

It's not really about kids, it's about us adults and how we can connect better with kids and help them make connections. Really loved listening to the author who was both funny and super informative. I recommend highly for coaches of sports, educators and leaders in business.

Need some to feel appreciated? Encouraged? Need Connection? Carrington covers it! A sweet book for all educators who care about doing their best for kids each day, but also a book I wish every school board member and administrator would read as well.

This book is wonderfully written. The author carefully explores the impact of trauma on the classroom, effective strategies to help, and wraps it up with self care strategies to prevent classroom burnout!
