VIDEO: Looking Beyond Bad Behaviour
In this video, I explore the intricacies of children's behaviour. Discover why it's crucial to move beyond surface labels and truly understand the underlying emotions that drive their actions. I'll share insights into how our responses can either hinder or nurture a child's sense of safety and self-worth.
PODCAST: Does Where a Child Sits in Class Make a Difference?
In this episode of the Pooky Ponders Podcast, I delve into the seemingly small yet immensely impactful aspect of classroom dynamics – seating arrangements. Discover how sensitive seating plans can make a monumental difference in a child's engagement, learning experience, and overall classroom success. I share practical insights and thought-provoking examples to highlight the significant role that thoughtful seating can play in unlocking a child's potential and fostering a positive learning environment.
