RISE - Reflect & Reimagine 🌅 One adult can change everything. Ian Wright's teacher, Mr Pigden, did not know the full story of what Ian was carrying at home. But he saw a young boy struggling and chose to show up for him anyway. With consistency. With care. With belief. That decision changed the entire trajectory of Ian's life. 🤔 Reflect: Which young person in your setting is quietly waiting for someone to choose them? Who might be carrying something you cannot see, but you can sense? ✨ Reimagine: What would it look like to be someone's Mr Pigden this term? What one small act of connection could you offer this week that costs nothing but means everything? You do not need the full picture to make a difference. You need to show up. 👉 Read the full story here: futureaction.net/post/trauma… 💛🤝🧠💪 #RISEReflectReimagine #EmotionallyAvailableAdults #TraumaInformedPE #StudentWellbeing #RISEUp #ConnectionBeforeCorrection

Sometimes what looks like a “won’t” is really a “can’t” wearing a mask. As a therapist and former school principal, I’ve seen so many students labeled as defiant or unmotivated when they were actually overwhelmed, anxious, embarrassed, exhausted, or completely shut down. “Won’t” assumes choice. “Can’t” asks what is getting in the way. When a student refuses school, puts their head down, avoids work, or melts down, the question is not “How do we make them comply?” It’s “What is their brain and body trying to protect them from right now?” Help starts with curiosity, not criticism. Lower the emotional temperature. Offer simple choices. Create a safe and predictable space. Connect them with a trusted adult. Break tasks into very small, doable steps. Use calm language. Reduce shame. Teach coping skills when they are calm, not in the middle of the storm. Recognize effort before outcome. Kids do well when they can. When they can’t, they need support, not more pressure. #mentalhealthmatters #studentbehavior #traumainformed #traumainformedschools #schoolpsychology #teacherlife #principallife #educatorsofinstagram #schoolcounselor #behavior #anxietyinchildren #kidsmentalhealth #parentingtips #specialeducation #iep #504plan #classroommanagement #teachertips #mindsetshift #emotionalregulation #childdevelopment #connectionbeforecorrection #educatorsofinstagram #mentalhealthawareness #socialemotionallearning #sel #supportnotpunish

Before we correct the behavior… pause. Remember what it felt like to be that age. Sitting in a desk, heart racing, hoping you wouldn’t be called on. Walking into a room and wondering where you fit. Caring so much what others thought… even if you pretended you didn’t. Replaying awkward moments. Feeling embarrassed, left out, or not enough… and not having the words to explain it. Remember how one comment from an adult could stick with you for years… and how one moment of belief could change everything. The child in front of you isn’t just “being difficult.” They are overwhelmed. They are figuring themselves out. They are carrying emotions they don’t fully understand yet. And the truth is… they are not that different from who we once were. When we remember that, everything shifts. More patience. More empathy. More connection. And sometimes, in showing up for them… we quietly heal a part of ourselves too. #teachersofinstagram #schoolpsychology #traumainformed #educators #teacherlife #mentalhealthmatters #socialemotionallearning #sel #childdevelopment #behavioriscommunication #teachersfollowteachers #parenting #gentleparenting #mindfulparenting #middleschool #highschool #elementaryteacher #classroommanagement #teacherburnout #empathy #connectionbeforecorrection #kidsneedconnection #teachwithheart #educationmatters #supportkids #wellbeing #mentalhealthawareness #growthmindset #fromatherapist

🎙️ Just watched a brilliant interview between @Coach_Temisan and Armand Kavaja and I have to say, it brought back some real memories. I had the privilege of both playing and coaching alongside Armand many years ago at London Tigers FC in the youth setup. Even back then, it was clear he was destined for great things — the detail in his planning, the care he showed for his players, and the way he threw himself into every coaching role possible set him apart. It was inspiring to hear his reflections on his journey through roles at Crystal Palace, Watford, and the Albanian National Team. The way he spoke about the realities of the UEFA Pro License Diploma and how some aspects of it could be introduced much earlier in a coach’s development really resonated with me. Equally important was his honest insight into why certain approaches simply don’t translate into the English academy system. One standout takeaway was his message about entering new roles or clubs: players need to feel that you genuinely care, that you have their best interests at heart, and that you truly know what you're talking about. Because without connection, there's no buy-in. And without buy-in, there’s no development. Massive respect to both Temisan and Armand for putting together such an insightful conversation. 👏 #CoachingJourney #Leadership #PlayerDevelopment #FootballCoaching #UEFAProLicense #CoachEducation #ConnectionBeforeCorrection

Attendance first means more than just tracking numbers. It’s about asking why, not just enforcing rules. Connection before correction leads to real impact when we support students and families early. #AttendanceMatters #EveryDayCounts #StudentWellbeing #ConnectionBeforeCorrection

A student who trusts you will try harder. Not because they’re afraid — but because they know someone believes in them. Relationship is the real classroom. #ConnectionBeforeCorrection #TeachersHQ

Connect emotionally before correcting behavior. How do you balance empathy and discipline? #ConnectionBeforeCorrection #PositiveParenting

Meeting our young people where they are...It can be really hard, but it starts with building a strong relationship and being attuned to their needs. Their behaviour tells us a story...#insideout #connectionbeforecorrection #nowmorethanever
Trauma that a young person experiences outside of school can greatly impact their behaviour and experiences in school. Let's keep this in mind as we work with our young people who come into our educational establishments with full cups.🧠🌱 #ACES #stressbehaviour #trauma
