We need to share, not shift the stress-load. We are all in this together. 👫 #Shanker365 #Day240 #SelfReg

"How about this reframe of a child's behaviour:
❌ "The child is being willful or defiant."
To:
✅ "They are experiencing too many stressors."

And remember: See a child differently, see a different child. #SelfReg

Design your classroom with student belonging in mind. Ask, "what more can I do to have each and every student know/feel...":
📫 I am invited in
❤️ I am welcome here
🏰 This is my space too
🚸 I have a place

Are WE ready for them? This idea applies far beyond Kindergarten classrooms. #SelfRegSunday #SelfReg

Some examples of common stressors for #Kindergarten children in all 5 domains:
🎚 Biological: Noisy classrooms
👬 Emotion: Excitement at seeing friends
📈 Cognitive: Information overload
⚾️ Social: Feeling left out
🎟 Prosocial: Wanting things to be “fair” for everyone"

A6. The birds outside my window. Peaceful to watch and their tweeting calls me out of my work and reminds me of the beautiful world outside. https://t.co/egNmIFgyMO #TMCTalks

I wonder how animals help raise a child! #TMCTalks https://t.co/jPIhtAMdvl

A5. We once saw a llama on a rural highway having a wonderful time running away from its very cross owner. When the owner got his llama back his anger quickly melted when he realized the funny performance it had put on! https://t.co/egNmIFgyMO #TMCTalks

[Self Regulation Institute @SelfRegResearch]

I think they make it easier for us to just be! They are so very good at it. #TMCTalks https://t.co/LG4z6i0Yjj

A4: Just being with them, in the full, embodied sense of “being”. #TMCTalks

[Self Regulation Institute @SelfRegResearch]

A4. Letting them be themselves and do their animal things. We watched a fox confidently and briskly cross our yard through the snow one night last winter. He was beautiful and free. https://t.co/egNmIFgyMO #TMCTalks

A3. Attention! I had a cat who didn't like it when I went away - and left me presents to show her disdain! Luckily she had a short memory so a few cuddles usually ended the gift giving. #TMCTalks https://t.co/egNmIFgyMO

[Self Regulation Institute @SelfRegResearch]

Great point about the solo child pet! #TMCTalks https://t.co/0BmqNnWS1e

I hope strange as in funny! #TMCTalks https://t.co/r4fS6MDczr

A2. When my daughter is packing for a move or even a weekend her ‘Bella’ (shitzu) does the strangest things. Initially frustrating but we’ve reframed with soft eyes. #TMCtalks
