In this discussion, we’ll explore how to effectively manage and reduce challenging behaviors in students, particularly in relation to trauma-informed care and the factors that influence behavior. We’ll touch on key frameworks like ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences), Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, and the Arousal Continuum to understand how unmet needs or past trauma impact behavior. We’ll also look at the importance of creating supportive learning environments, addressing sensory needs, and implementing classroom strategies to help students regulate their emotions and actions. The goal is to build a safe and nurturing space that promotes positive behavior and emotional well-being.
