Stay humble...

Good night!

What is it that we need in order to sustain our attention and perform at our best? We are all different in what it takes to keep our arousal at the best level. Some people can’t cope with any noise while they are trying to think, while others need to have music on constantly. Meeting our arousal needs depends on how we process our sensory information. The important thing to remember is that some people will need more of these sensory inputs to be at the optimum state of arousal and some will need less. We are then able to to “self-regulate” by getting our arousal levels right even when our environment changes. Self-regulating all of the sensory information can be very difficult for a child. Movement is commonly a way that a child will try and regulate so they can calm and focus. Forcing a child to sit still is counter-productive. When we work out what their sensory needs are we can help support them to meet their best arousal.

I think we all know just what our children are telling us about us.

Learn how to respond to students instead of reacting to their behaviors following the strategies and practices of Heather Forbes on the Trauma-Informed Online Academy. Contact [email protected] for more information.

Kids don't learn how to respond through rewards and punishment, they learn from watching adults...modeling.

👊👏👏👏

This is the approach Heather Forbes teaches in her Trauma-Informed Online Academy. Contact Becky Jennings at [email protected] for more information. It’s all about learning strategies that promote relationships and regulation that encourage learning, and it works!

It is true.

Ohhh... this is good.

Change starts with us... what do others experience when they experience you?
