@heyygabber @bdavisHPS I love that! I am also laughing right out loud! We sang All. The. Time. I hope you get to sing and play your guitar with your students!

A rainy Tuesday morning didn't slow down the bright, cheerful singing of the @HamiltonHighMI Honors Choir. Teacher Holly Israels led the students through vocal exercises as they prepare for performances. Get excited for a talented Honors Choir this school year! #EachWillThrive

Time to reflect...

[Brian Davis, Ph.D. @bdavisPhD]

Two great books for further reading with children and trauma.

[Brian Davis, Ph.D. @bdavisPhD]

Every failure will deepen the trauma & strengthen the neural pathways contributing to the - behaviors. Limit the chance for failures.

[Brian Davis, Ph.D. @bdavisPhD]

Change your perspective-see the child for who they are & can be, not what they are with their behavior. Connect before you correct.

[Brian Davis, Ph.D. @bdavisPhD]

We need to understand why our typical interventions don't work with all kids especially those who have experienced trauma.
