Shownotes
This episode is a sneak peek at a workshop I did on what to do when a child cries all the time. We explore effective strategies for supporting children who cry frequently and the importance of recognizing crying as a form of communication in children. I offer tips on how to respond calmly and empathetically. This portion of the workshop introduces the concept of a "calm corner" or "control spot" in classrooms to help children regulate their emotions independently. We also discuss techniques like the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding method and cognitive distractions to assist children in managing overwhelming emotions and developing self-regulation skills.
In this episode I share:
- Addressing children's crying
- Best strategies for upset students
- Importance of the calm corner
- Distractors for calming down
