It's not what we say, it's how we say it... especially with young children. Sometimes, they don't know why they make the choices they make. This list is a great alternative to many things that adults say to children, and they don't understand the conversation.

One of the most wonderful things that you could do is donate for cancer research and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. We are what makes a difference with those children. Please donate to any of the research hospitals that provide care and support for the families that have children with cancer.

Understanding anxiety 💜

Sometimes what we see is only the tip of the iceberg.

School anxiety can show itself through morning resistance, irritability, headaches, stomachaches, clinginess, meltdowns, withdrawal or dysregulation.

But behaviour is information.

Underneath may be sensory overload, learning struggles, social difficulties, separation anxiety, bullying, executive function demands, transitions, low self-esteem, family stress or simply feeling that school is too much to manage right now.

The important question isn’t only “How do we get them into school?”

It is also:

“What is making school feel so difficult for this child?”

When we understand what sits underneath the anxiety, we are in a much better position to support the child — ideally before anxiety progresses into significant difficulties with attendance.

The battle goes on with our kiddos on the spectrum of ASD. Are they just being annoying or are they trying to cope? It is our job as educators not to assume, but to provide them the services that are required by Federal Law and their IEP.

Behavior is communication. It could mean a variety of different things, but bizarre situations sometimes trigger behavioral responses. What we often forget is most behavior is a cry for help where needs are not being met.

Before we call a child “naughty,” “defiant,” or “attention-seeking,” it can help to pause and ask a different question:

“What might they be trying to tell us?”

A meltdown may be exhaustion. Refusal may be anxiety. Anger may be overwhelm. Withdrawal may be a child who doesn’t yet have the words for what hurts.

Children can struggle with hunger, tiredness, sensory overload, big feelings, changes at home or school, communication difficulties, loneliness, or unmet needs. Their behaviour is not always a choice to make life difficult — sometimes it is the only way they know how to say, “I need help.”

This doesn’t mean ignoring harmful behaviour or having no boundaries. It means responding with curiosity as well as consequences, connection as well as correction.

The question is not only, “How do we stop this behaviour?”
It is also, “What does this child need from us right now?”
