What can one teacher really do about trauma? – Unconditional unconditionallearning.org/2018/01/15/wha…

Good afternoon, friends. Why is it that we respond to children who are upset with more yelling? Would that ever make a child, or a person of any age, have a positive mood change? How do we work towards retraining our own teacher brains to respond with gentleness?

Congrats!! Mary Thomas Tamara Russell, NBCT

Looking forward to rolling up my sleeves as CA's first Surgeon General. Thank you Gavin Newsom for your bold vision for health for all Californians. #preventscreenandheal!

Couldn’t agree more. I’m hearing more and more of these poorly thought-through practices that claim to be ‘trauma-informed’. We must continue teaching about the complexities of theses issues. And honor each individual as unique.
