2 w. ago ‘We are so grateful’: how play therapy can help children after disaster

In North Carolina, kids affected by Hurricane Helene are putting this method, often inaccessible, to the testOn a winter afternoon at the old Methodist church in Swannanoa, North Carolina, a group of young children gathered around a special sandbox. The sand was silky and lavender-scented.

2 w. ago Are some clubs cursed? The narrative can be as powerful as the truth

Leeds United’s history of dark weirdness lends credence to the idea that ‘club DNA’ is real, even if the reality may be more mundaneSign up for Soccer with Jonathan Wilson hereA month ago, Leeds United were merrily on top of the Championship. They had just beaten Sunderland with two late goals and Sheffield United with three. They had gone 16 games unbeaten and were playing with authority and conviction. More than that, they seemed to have the deepest squad in the Championship. The Sunderland game had turned when they had brought on Willy Gnonto and Largie Ramazani; nobody else in the division could bring that sort of quality off the bench.Since then they’ve won one of five games and slipped to second. It’s happening again.This is an extract from Soccer with Jonathan Wilson, a weekly look from the Guardian US at the game in Europe and beyond. Subscribe for free here. Have a question for Jonathan?
