from Glass Half Full with Leslie Krongold, Ed.D.

What is Toxic Positivity? How to avoid it and what to do when confronted with it.  One definition in the context of overstressed teachers during the pandemic includes "toxic positivity as focusing on the positive and ignoring the negative. This mindset has caused a lot of teachers to feel guilty, stressed, and overwhelmed." One mental health website's definition, "Some signs of toxic positivity statements may be dismissing emotions, minimizing someone's experience, giving one's perspective instead of validating someone's emotions, shaming someone for expressing frustration, and brushing things off."
