It starts with us."

Approaching discipline with a restorative mindset.

Infused trauma informed/ responsive principles.

Repair after a rupture.

Use time in, instead of time out.

Our aim is to help our young people regulate their nervous systems and regulate themselves.🧠🌱

[Gerry🧠🌱 @gerrydiamond71]

Learning cannot happen in schools unless our young people have had their most psychological needs met.🧠🌱

[WRU Hub_MACS @WRUHub_MACS]

This is important! 🙌

[Gerry🧠🌱 @gerrydiamond71]

Every behaviour is a form of communication. We need to look beneath it and seek to understand what is driving it.This behaviour does not occur in a vacuum. 🧠🌱

[Gerry🧠🌱 @gerrydiamond71]

Behaviour charts/cards overlook a young persons development. unidentified conditions or a lack of impulse control. The young people get labelled as "naughty" or "bad" despite all our advances in neuroscience.They only serve short-term compliance & lose effectiveness quickly🧠🌱

[Gerry🧠🌱 @gerrydiamond71]

Childhood trauma is often misread in schools as being disruptive & challenging behaviour. The child then receives more punishment when they really need support. You can't punish trauma out of a young person & into a better way of being.We need to create the proper environment🧠🌱

[Gerry🧠🌱 @gerrydiamond71]

If schools want to improve attainment, it should first focus on our young people's happiness and wellbeing.

Stressed brains cannot learn,absorb,retain information, or problem solve effectively.

Wellbeing first. Attainment second.🧠🌱

Congratulations to our mini and junior player Ruben Main for being selected to start for West Wales U14s Elite rugby League team against East Wales this Saturday on the Gnoll in Neath. Good Luck Ruben we are extremely proud. @Main_MACS @MACS_HWB @WRUHub_MACS

[Gerry🧠🌱 @gerrydiamond71]

How do we damage young people? By blaming,shaming & punishing them. What if we pay more attention to their triggers, patterns & root causes and actually take the time to understand the reasons for their behaviour or "what has happened to them" before school issues exacerbate.🧠🌱

[Gerry🧠🌱 @gerrydiamond71]

Trying to teach without knowing how the brain works would be as much as pretending to design a glove without having ever seen a hand.🧠🌱

[Gerry🧠🌱 @gerrydiamond71]

A young persons chronological age is their age based on their date of birth.

Their developmental age is the age at which they function emotionally, physically, cognitively,& socially.

The best therapeutic interventions meet the young person at their developmental level.🧠🌱
