They don't need to know and hear everything. They need you to answer questions, and filter unnecessary information. If you have questions yourself on how to talk to your children/students, your local school psychologist can help.
In a large class, strategies like this really help maintain prosocial behaviour. The students in Ms. Barter's large class of Grade 4s at @OctagonPond report that they love it and all the hype they get makes them feel great!
Who can you hype up today?? 😄

As long as the stim isn't harming the child themselves or anyone else, let them stim. It helps them self regulate, and we all need to self regulate throughout our day in ways that work for us.

Have you had discussions about delaying kindergarten entry for a child? This practice is called "redshirting," and the research is limited and mixed, but overall any positive impacts on academics and social-emotional functioning seem to be short-lived.

Appreciate this discussion 👏👏👏 and the article at the end of the 🧵thread! An intersectional lens is essential in ethical practice in this field.

Imagine if we all helped each other top up our cups before they got empty.
How will you top up your cup or someone else's cup this weekend? ☕️

Have you wondered about the different learning-based exceptionalities we see in school-aged children, how they are distinguished from each other, and how they are identified and supported?

Wondering how to talk to your students/children about what is happening in Ukraine? This article has helpful tips for different stages of development. It's ok not to have all the answers. Most importantly, give them a safe space to ask and share feelings.
