So many children in classrooms may struggle with adverse childhood experiences, trauma & learning challenges which will most definitely affect their executive functioning, ability to concentrate & co regulation. Below are some strategies to help when kiddies feel over whelmed or need some adult assistance.
It is so important to meet every single child where they are at emotionally & socially, not where we as adults or professionals wish them to be! All emotions must be welcomed & not judged if effective change is to happen 🥰

Boundaries are a necessity, they give children a sense of safety & security..Children often have an emotional response to these boundaries. When this happens, we don't need to give in to this response & we don't need to shut it down either.

Having an emotional response to a boundary isn't something to be concerned about, rather an opportunity to discuss, to help you child navigate their reaction & develop their emotional agility.

Firstly, acknowledge: "I know you want to watch more TV, I like watching TV too..

Secondly create the boundary: "but now it's time to..."
Remember, give your child the choice, "shall you turn off the TV or would you like me to help you?".

Finally regulate & relate: I can give you a hug if you need one.
