“My CPAP mask helps me fall asleep a little easier now, but I used to find bedtime really hard. I love science, and I hope our book helps other kids too!’’ Freddy, 11
Huge thanks to @liz_mclellan2 & the amazing @GreatNorthCH for their support. #sleep 💙❤️
Freddy’s Story
Freddy is the brains behind Professor Pace!
At 10, he was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea after years of poor sleep affecting school & social life.
Now, he’s turned his experiences into science kids can understand!

Complex trauma,ACEs, growing up is experiencing ongoing events your brain & body were exposed to & weren't made for. Your body is in a constant fight, flight, or freeze. This means your nervous system is constantly dysregulated, stuck, and unable to emotionally develop

Whole family early Boxing Day trip today to see @DannyAdams007, @joemcelderry91 etc at @TheatreRoyalNew because ‘someone’ booked 26/11 instead of 26/12. Time to step out of school and step into Christmas! 🎅🏻🦀🧜🏽♀️🐠

Trauma that a young person experiences outside of school can greatly impact their behaviour and experiences in school.
Let's keep this in mind as we work with our young people who come into our educational establishments with full cups.🧠🌱
