To view pupils behaviour through a lens of stressed behaviour staff do not need to be a neuroscientist.Understanding how the brain develops we can better understand our pupils. How stress impacts them we can better understanding their behaviour.Attachment influences regulation.

It starts with us. Bring our young people into your calm.Don't let them bring you into their storm. We need to be the thermostat and not the thermometer.

Attachment patterns of isolation,disconnection & punishment in schools play a huge role in current & future brain function & the health of children's nervous systems. Do we create ed settings where connection is felt regulating.? Or primed for protection over connection?

Childhood trauma has a profound impact especially during emotional development. This shapes how our young people view the world,the way they see themselves & the people around them.

For pupils to thrive in school,they need their survival & emotional needs met first.This is where the brainstem,survival & limbic attachment system come in.The brain needs safety & connection before learning becomes possible. 1. Safety. 2.Connection. 3. Regulation. 4. Learning.
