In the moment strategies are essential. An ideal classroom set up with cozy spaces is nice but that doesn't deescalate a screamer. If we can teach regulation techniques throughout the day like active movement it reduces the agitation level in the classroom.

Let's be present without expecting ANYTHING from them. We signed up to do these courses as instructors not for what we expect to get from the students (that is our gift), but rather the impact we can make by being, doing, seeing and engaging with them where they are. If we operate from that lens we will be blown away by what we do get from them :)
