Behaviour is communication. We don’t see 'challenging children,' we see children communicating an unmet need.

Our approach is about understanding the 'why' behind the behaviour. It’s a game-changer for teachers and leaders.

These core elements can explain why some situations feel taxing.

Ambiguity and loss of agency trigger stress.

Cultivating predictability, clarity, and empowerment can be powerful antidotes.

It's not just about having people around; it's about quality connections. When children feel safe and understood, they explore confidently, regulate emotions, and build resilience, laying the groundwork for future relationships and well-being. #WisdomWednesday
