Click on the video above to see our conversation about:
*how even kids who have privilege and are not one of the ones who are mistreated are impacted by traumatic events at school
*what we can learn from successful hostage negotiators (it starts with R)
*Tricia, one of our viewers reminded us that, "Behaviorism does not allow a child to be neurodiverse, who he is does not need to be eliminated, he communicates his needs differently and experiences the world differently. Let's celebrate and support that."
*A major issue with behaviorism is that behavior is interpreted as though it's all willful.
*We need to recognize that a child may be under stress that"misbehavior" may be a stress response. It's not them, it's their body, and it goes off automatically, not on purpose.
*What we can do to change the tides.

Thurs, March 19th: Are We Just Punting?
Do you feel like you're punting when it comes to figuring out what to do now that your child's school is closed?
On Thursday’s show, Amy Langerman, an Arizona special education attorney and California special education consultant will help us sort some things out. One thing we’ll talk about if there is a LEGAL answer to the issue of what a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) looks like when schools are closed and when they reopen?
Come find out the answer AND as a bonus, Amy also has some pretty awesome educational resources for you so you can have more engaging activities to do with your children! Amy is as much an educator as she is an attorney.
