Kids don’t need perfection. They need presence.

It’s not about having the right words, the perfect plan, or all the answers. What they’ll remember most is that you showed up.

➡️ Educators, parents, leaders… what’s one way you choose presence over perfection this week?

Say it – and show it! – as many ways as you can, says T Kathryn Bechdoldt:

When working with challenging students remember to:
1. Hear WHAT they say not HOW they say it
2. Stay personally connected to students without taking personally what they do and say
3. Feel sad for instead of mad at
4. Change is a roller coaster ride
5. 2nd to last word is best
