Tantrums are a sign that a child's body has shifted into the "fight or flight" pathway of the nervous system. The fight or flight pathway launches behaviors that are involuntary, instinctual survival based, ie; not “on purpose."

Children are more anxious, aggressive, and shut down than ever.

Faced with this epidemic of emotional health crises and behavioural problems, teachers are asking themselves what went wrong. Why have we lost our students? More importantly: How can we get them back? Hannah Beach, a celebrated educator and specialist in the field of emotional health, and Tamara Neufeld Strijack, clinical counsellor and academic dean of the acclaimed Neufeld Institute, provide a thoughtful guide to restoring the student-teacher relationship and creating the conditions for change. Reclaiming Our Students empowers teachers with relationship-based strategies to restore their leadership role and build emotional safety in the classroom.

Combining Hannah’s groundbreaking experiential approach to creating emotional health and community in the classroom with the Neufeld Institute’s insightful approach to building relationships and making sense of children, Reclaiming Our Students is required reading for teachers who not only want to understand and overcome daily challenges, but also re-connect to their calling as educators.

You've heard me say many times that play is children's work. That means you may see some good psychological work as they play during these unprecedented times of quarantine. This means they are processing and integrating their experiences--trying to understand the new normal.

In other words, don't be afraid if you see these themes in their play. This is a sign that they are doing something healthy and important!

So, lean in and let them play through the uncertainty, confusion, and change.

"Isn’t play frivolous? Something to be done when everything else is taken care of? How can we even think about playing during times of crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic?"

"You can't spoil a baby!" research says to comfort crying babies Research has found that children will grow into healthier and happier adults if they have parents who are affectionate, sensitive, and playful towards them from birth.

Young kids are some of the most misunderstood people around. They routinely defy logic and can baffle adults who care for them.
