Instead of caning our kids can we start to understand the science of the #PairofACEs and begin to develop #traumainformed practices for our schools, our teachers and our children.

#traumainformedKE @GSNAfrica

2/ What does it mean to develop trauma-informed schools?

Being trauma-informed in schools means being informed about and sensitive to trauma, and providing a safe, stable, and understanding environment for students and staff.

#traumainformedKE
3/ As we have listened to Kenyans stories of childhood and schooling we have heard how the #PairofACEs is a national crisis especially in our schools.

#Traumainformed schools have become essential to successfully addressing the broadening spectrum of #ACEs globally. @GSNAfrica
4/ What could #traumainformed schools look like in Kenya?

First what if all our teachers started to see young people, not as 'bad' and 'indisciplined' kids - but start to ask "What has happened to this child?" or "What kind of life has this child had?"

#traumainformedKE
5/ Not all kids have come from a traumatic home/environment. But what if we supported all kids w social-emotional learning skills?

Promoting the #traumainformed school approaches in Kenya has the greatest potential to #positively impact all students, regardless of their traumas.
6/ Adverse experiences in the lives of Kenyan children are very common.

Trauma and toxic stress impact learning, behavior, and relationships at home, in school, and in the larger community.

Caning children will only cause more trauma not reduce it.

#traumainformedKE
7/ The impacts of trauma can be pervasive & take many forms, & the way in which a child who has experienced traumatic events presents herself may mask - rather than reveal - her difficulties.

It is not what is wrong with the child but what has happened to him.
#traumainformedKE
8/ Our Kenyan schools must address students' needs in holistic ways. Taking into account their relationships, self-regulation, academic competence, & physical & emotional wellbeing.

How can a senior public officer say publically the answer to our schooling crisis is violence?
10/The loss of a sense of safety resulting from traumatic events can cause a child to disconnect from those around her. Typically, children who have experienced traumatic events are looking to those at school to restore their feeling of security & to help reconnect them w society
9/ A #traumainformed school explicitly connects students to the school community and provides multiple opportunities to practice newly developing skills.

First thread of the year because I have time during MCO. As requested, a thread on the gods and spirits of Malay folk religion. Some are indigenous, some are of Indian origin, some have Islamic


Before I begin, it might be worth explaining the Malay conception of the spirit world. At its deepest level, Malay religious belief is animist. All living beings and even certain objects are said to have a soul. Natural phenomena are either controlled by or personified as spirits

Although these beings had to be respected, not all of them were powerful enough to be considered gods. Offerings would be made to the spirits that had greater influence on human life. Spells and incantations would invoke their


Two known examples of such elemental spirits that had god-like status are Raja Angin (king of the wind) and Mambang Tali Arus (spirit of river currents). There were undoubtedly many more which have been lost to time

Contact with ancient India brought the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism to SEA. What we now call Hinduism similarly developed in India out of native animism and the more formal Vedic tradition. This can be seen in the multitude of sacred animals and location-specific Hindu gods
