@kimformerheadteacher: There's one phrase I heard in almost every staffroom I ever worked in "they're just attention seeking." It implies the child is choosing to be difficult. That they're manipulating the adults around them. That the need itself, the actual need underneath the behaviour, doesn't deserve to be met. "They're seeking connection" Which phrase needs to go next? Drop it below — it might be tomorrow's video. #teachingassistant #schoolstaff #attentionseekingbehavior #newschoolyear #behavioursupport
