Are you dealing with behaviors that challenge you? As an educator for the last 30+ years I have seen the number of behaviors rise. Not only are the numbers rising but the intensity of the behaviors is also on the rise. Why are we struggling? Who’s to blame? Is it the child? The parents? NO, to both of those. The problem is the system.
We live out behavior patterns internalized by an old outdated system. This system is built on a foundation of judgment which leads to blame and defensiveness keeping us stuck. It is problem focused and creates a culture of anxiety. This creates discouragement which creates disconnection. Where there is disconnection there is anger, resentment and hurtful behavior. This system runs automatically.
Through neuroscience we now have new information and a new upgraded system. This new system is built on a foundation of acceptance. Acceptance leads to responsibility and owning what is. This creates a culture of safety. It creates encouragement which leads to connections. Connections create healthy relationships which result in helpful behavior.
