Great graphic which emphasises the need to resist reductive explanations of behaviour. It’s also important to look after ourselves, as it’s harder to dig deeper and stay open and empathetic when we’re stressed.

I think we could all do with a post it right now. Great post @MotivatedMinds5 Some children dislike being publically praised and a note with something like 'you are doing awesome, keep it up 😉' works a treat. A smile, drop the note off and walk away and watch the reaction !

Teachers need to 'read' pupils' behaviour, as well as managing it, in order to support their wellbeing, writes @TalesSophie tes.com/news/behaviour-manag…

Beyond proud as always with all 3 of my children. Our youngest George (12) was asked to put together a brief video about autism for his previous primary school for disability day tomorrow. When we sat brainstorming before doing his slides...he just came out with this... – at Winsford, England

Throw away your behaviour charts . It’s all about the relationship . This is what brings about long term behaviour change in the best possible way . #behaviour @pauldixtweets The Dark Side of Behaviour Charts | Andrea Rippon | TEDxNorwichED youtu.be/8vCEHEHPcRQ via @YouTube

Throw away the behaviour charts and focus on the relationships . That’s what will creat behaviour change ! 100 % #behaviour @pauldixtweets @https://m.youtube.com/watch?fbclid=IwAR1o2kz0tzbeF-7NPPlyxL3OvaCbZRQY-5M3xXBVH0S9s5pxKy7t-UpJ1P0&v=8vCEHEHPcRQ
This is one of the most fundamental components of relational practice in schools. It's not enough to provide physical safety. There also needs to be "felt safety" - the sense of feeling seen, understood and soothed through an attuned and nurturing relationship.
“An absolute requirement for feeling secure is to feel safe. Kids feel safe when they feel protected physically, emotionally, & relationally.” @DrDanSiegel & @tinabryson #NVR can help - bit.ly/2TlRH2a #Connection #RelationalRepair #UnconditionalPositiveRegard
This is so important. When we think a young person can do something but is choosing not to, our empathy and willingness to connect and support are diminished. Look beyond what children their age are expected to do and focus on their individual experiences and needs.
The student who is causing problems might be in a 15 year old body but for some vulnerable young folk their social emotional/development might be more like that of a primary student - check can actually do what is being asked- think stage not age, what skills do you need to teach

Because ‘kids do well if they can.’ (Greene) 👇 – at Thurlby, England
When a child is excluded from the classroom for showing their upset and distress, we shouldn’t be asking “what’s wrong with the child?” - we should be asking “what’s happening for the child both inside and outside of school?” #Nurture #Learning #TraumaInformed #Include #BeCurious
