A week ago, I was asked to talk about challenging behaviors. Today, I spent an hour and a half talking about everything that word leaves out: the nervous system, sensory needs, regulation, connection, and the children behind those behaviors.
My favorite part was watching teachers shift from asking, “How do I stop this behavior?” to “What might this child need?” Because behavior is often just the messenger, and every child deserves someone willing to listen. 🫶🏻
