@kimformerheadteacher: Two words that will change how you handle every dysregulation moment: connection before correction. Connection before correction isn't soft. It isn't letting children get away with things and it isn't skipping consequences altogether. It's sequencing them correctly, because a consequence delivered to a dysregulated brain teaches nothing except that this adult isn't safe when things go wrong. For more on exactly how to use it in the moment, there's a link in my bio. #newteacher #dysregulation #teachingassistant #parents #behavioursupport
