What does it take to bounce back from a traumatic event? How do you thrive and survive the toxic stress and trauma?
As educators, we often see certain behaviors that can be barriers to success for some students. And the ultimate goal is to help them get past these conflicts and challenges by encouraging them to focus on their future and success.
But most of the time, what our students need is a safe space and adults who will listen and try to understand what they’re going through.
Welcome to episode 31 of Take Notes with Jen Rafferty! In this episode, I’m speaking with Renee Hettich. She is an author, licensed master social worker, and trainer on topics such as resiliency and therapeutic parenting.
Renee opens the conversation about adverse childhood experiences and how they can affect the child’s mindset and behavior long term.
Understanding your student’s behavior is essential to their success. The truth is, we don’t know what each student is going through, but the best we can do is to learn more about how we can help them.
Tune in and find out how you can help your student understand their feelings better!
Stay empowered,
Jen
