More and more we are learning about the vital importance of cultivating trauma sensitive classrooms and schools. Kids need to feel safe, cared for and seen before they are ready to learn and get along with others. Warrior educators like yourself understand this... and this is why we are seeing a movement to implement safe spaces, like Calm Corners in classrooms. Teaching children self-regulation coping tools helps the thinking part of their brain, the pre-fontal cortex, to get back on track when big emotions -which are adaptive and there for very good reasons- make it hard for kids to engage in school tasks. Many of our students need extra support in this area, often coming to school already in a reactive state of fear, worry & chronic stress. Until we help students manage and relate-with kindness & compassion-to these challenging emotional experiences, they will not be ready to learn the academic tools that students need to be successful in and out of school.

Toen ik afgelopen vrijdag het nieuwste stukje van Angel las (nog niet gelezen? klik dan hier) begon mijn bloed te koken. Met elke nieuwe zin over hoe die man tegen haar aan het praten was werd ik bozer en bozer. Hoe kon ze hem zo lang uitstaan? Wat dat betreft zijn Angel en ik totaal verschillend. Ik had hem hoogstwaarschijnlijk na de eerste vervelende opmerking al de volle wind van voren gegeven. Zo ben ik nu eenmaal, alhoewel ik niet altijd zo ben geweest. Als klein meisje was ik heel verlegen. Zo verlegen, dat ik mensen niet eens wilde aankijken.…
