Interesting read “Research shows that the brain rewires at any age. Norman Doidge, M.D., author of The Brain that Changes Itself, says, “The brain is a far more open system than we ever imagined, and nature has gone very far to help us perceive and take in the world around us. It has given us a brain that survives in a changing world by changing itself.” Doidge continues, “After the initial critical learning period of youth is over, the areas of the brain that need to be 'turned on' to allow enhanced, long-lasting learning can only be activated when something important, surprising, or novel occurs, or if we make the effort to pay close attention.”
We can prime the brain for change in various ways. For example, EMDR trauma psychotherapy uses tapping or other types of stimulation alternating on the left and right sides of the body. We can also stimulate brain change by focusing attention on the physical sensations associated with our emotions. This connects directly to the second and third reasons I always hold hope for healing.”

Lessons to be learnt from this report and for service delivery across Ireland “Child protection services in England are too focused on investigating families in crisis and do not provide enough early support, a report says. The review team looked at the availability and costs of foster care places and children's homes. It concluded this "placement market" was broken and that too often young people ended up being moved a long way from home.
Too often children are moved far from where they have grown up, are separated from their brothers or sisters, are forced to move schools, and have a revolving door of social workers," the report said.
“We are failing to build lifelong loving relationships around these children."
