“You’ve never needed me—” “Of course I don’t!” I’ve worked hard to build a life that’s my own, that no one else could pull a plug on to send me swirling down a cosmic drain.

“The numbing effects of scrolling down an endless newsfeed are both the problem and its own relief. Over time, this works to delirious effect. Periodically, after long projects or particularly lengthy binges, I feel saturated and dissociate. No longer able to process information, I let my unread messages pile up in my inbox and notifications from friends accumulate whilst I lie for hours on my sofa during the weekends, unable to do anything, but unable to do nothing either.”
Olivia Yallop, Break the Internet: The Truth About Influencers

“How likely is it that your feedback will cause me to cry under the shower?”
Ali Hazelwood, The Love Hypothesis

“The main institutions in an established democracy no longer seem to work for the people. The man in the street is thinking: nothing is ever going to change, and if that's the case, you disinvest in the society around you and look elsewhere for purpose. Once you get that level of distrust, it's pretty clear where people will turn to get some kind of solace...the internet.”
Olivia Yallop, Break the Internet: The Truth About Influencers

“Noticing the potential message in children's behaviors and responding appropriately and respectfully is our aim. Reflecting upon Becky's enclosing and tying-up of her toys, it is clear that she needed the freedom to safely express herself without judgment and for an adult to interact and not interfere. Many adults seek to control children's play or stop them if they see a child playing in ways they deem inappropriate.”
Cath Arnold, Schemas in the Early Years

“Moments like these underline the importance of adults reserving their own personal judgments and accepting the child's wishes and actions. Awareness of potential schematic underpinnings also help us value and appreciate behaviors so that we can accept what the child may be showing us. Although firm conclusions can rarely be drawn, reflections remind us of the potentially multiple benefits of schematic actions for a child, and also the value in repetitive behaviors which tend to be labeled as negative. Educators should remain curious about a child's seeds of inquiry and make more such opportunities available to meet this need.”
Cath Arnold, Schemas in the Early Years
