Ekta, that’s a great insight to have and something that can support you in the future!
in reply to: Class 6 Post Due 12/18/23 #3113This is such a thought-provoking question and I’m so grateful that you were both willing to be vulnerable and name what was coming up for you. I have found that “Am I OK?” typically comes up for us as we navigate these challenging conversations with educators and caregivers. It’s such a helpful perspective to recognize that this is part of the set-up and allow ourselves to explore it with others, rather than get to get stuck in it and revolve with others.
in reply to: Class 5 Post Due 12/4/23 #3112Ekta, it would be really interesting to discuss this topic from a cultural relevancy lens.
in reply to: Class 4 Post Due 11/13/23 #3111Would love to hear how it’s reframed your work with parents Ekta.
in reply to: Class 5 Post Due 12/4/23 #2954Yes, so valuable for scaffolding interoception and helping students become aware of the activation and find ways that are a “match” for the situation. One of the reasons I think it’s useful for us to look at this from the benefits AND challenges perspective is that it helps us understand how to work with the challenges.
in reply to: Class 4 Post Due 11/13/23 #2953Allyship – love that word! So glad to see that you included caregivers in your response.
in reply to: Class 3 Post Due 10/30/23 #2952Lisa, so true! I think people sometimes interpret this approach as lowering expectations or not holding others accountable. Yes, it can feel that way in the moment, yet when we look at it with an understanding of the nervous system, it’s in fact just the opposite!
in reply to: Class 2 Post Due 10/16/23 #2937I have found that feeling out of control, overwhelmed and powerless is so often how educators are feeling and this is such a challenging place to be. I can imagine that from that state hearing someone say that behaviors make sense can feel very invalidating. I agree that helping them reframe the behavior as information is so useful. I often also work to show them that the behavior is a clue helping point us towards what to do next.
in reply to: Class 3 Post Due 10/30/23 #2936So true that rushing through often won’t get us the results we’re hoping for and even though we know this, it’s not easy to do! In this question, I was referring to the timeline approach we covered in class 3 that highlights having different expectations and goals based on the brain and body state of the student, and the corresponding categories and approaches to support using the right strategy at the right time.
in reply to: Class 2 Post Due 10/16/23 #2915So true, Ekta, this response comes from their own beliefs and projections. In class 4 when we talk about the developmental mindset paradigm, we’ll learn how to work with this.
in reply to: Class 1 Post Due 10/2/23 #2897Ekta, I totally agree, what we are exploring works both in schools and in our work outside of schools with students and educators. It will be a great perspective to bring to your consultation group.
in reply to: Class 1 Post Due 10/2/23 #2896So cool Tia! I’d love to hear the details of this interaction. Amazing how we “should” ourselves into thinking we’re supposed to know it all.
in reply to: Class 1 Post Due 10/2/23 #2869I think so often is viewed as “either/or” when both can be true. It is behavior and we don’t have to like all behaviors, and can at the same time understand that they don’t live in isolation. When we get to class 4, we’ll be talking about how to work with different people from where they are, versus where we want them to be, not easy.
in reply to: Class 1 Post Due 10/2/23 #2868Starting from a place of curiosity is so powerful and gives us so many options without “tying” us to one approach. I really get not wanting to feel it so jumping in to fix it. I find I am often reminding myself that this is a lifelong journey.
in reply to: Introduction #2867Hello all, thanks so much for introducing yourselves. I can’t wait to get to know you better as our class evolves and we spend some time together in smaller groups. Lisa, I love your line, “putting the nervous system at the heart of teaching and relationships!”
