When relationships are difficult to build with students, it is often a sign that some sort of trauma already exists for the student.

A caring teacher does not judge students right away; she finds opportunity to respond to what she sees her students going through, before reacting to it.  The teacher may be overwhelmed with the number of students who are traumatized in one way or another, as well as dealing with her own pressures.  The teacher does a box breathing activity before relying on the relationships that she has tried to build with students, in an attempt to find the root of the problem or, at the least, get traumatized student(s) back on track
