I love this too! I’ve used it with my own kids as well as trying to support schools to reframe so-called behavioural difficulties. Have you come across any UK settings who apply this across the whole school? I feel it needs school leaders on board and would love to see the results when this happens

Also agree with Tim about the act of writing being part of the process

Also concerns around the quality of AI decreasing over time and our us doing the tech companies’ work for them whilst putting EPs out of jobs. I’m listening to a fab podcast which touches on this, will link to it below

AI makes me feel like a bit of a dinosaur at the moment! I can’t get my head around the implications around data protection and transparency eg ‘this report was written with the assistance of ChatGPT’ etc
