šŸ¶šŸ”Ž Before helping a student make a choice…

Consult Detective H.A.L.T

He helps us notice what’s really going on inside.
When we see what a child might be feeling,
we can guide them to the right tool to help them calm, focus, or connect. 🌟

Detective HALT checks for clues:

🄨 Hungry?
• Is the child low on energy?
• Do they need a snack or a quick break?
• Are they grumpy because their body needs fuel?

šŸ”„ Angry?
• Are strong feelings getting in the way?
• Do they need a quiet minute, deep breath, or movement?
• Is their nervous system asking for regulation?

šŸ¤ Lonely?
• Are they seeking connection?
• Do they need a friend, a partner activity, or a check-in?
• Are feelings of disconnection showing up as behavior?

😓 Tired?
• Are they exhausted or overwhelmed?
• Do they need rest, a slow activity, or a calm corner?
• Is fatigue affecting attention or emotion?

✨ How this helps:

When educators pause and use Detective HALT, we can:
• Recognize the root of the behavior
• Offer the right mindful tool or strategy
• Support self-regulation before reacting

Notice first, guide second. 🐾

Have You Noticed…? The Behaviors That May Signal Reading Struggles

šŸ‘€ Let’s Notice These Behaviors:
• Avoids reading tasks or group activities
• Quiet, withdrawn, or reluctant to engage socially
• Shows frustration, anger, or tearfulness during schoolwork
• Acts out instead of asking for help
• Trouble making or keeping friends
• Difficulty interpreting others’ perspectives or emotions
• Hesitant to speak up or trouble expressing feelings.

These behaviors aren’t ā€œjust attitudeā€ — they’re often signals that a child may be struggling with reading, which impacts how they experience and respond to the world.

Why Literacy Matters

Reading isn’t just about schoolwork — it’s a social-emotional superpower. Kids who can access stories gain:
• Words to express feelings and needs ā¤ļø
• Practice understanding others’ emotions and perspectives 🧠
• Models for friendships, teamwork, and conflict resolution šŸ¤
• Opportunities to imagine new possibilities and futures 🌱

Every story a child reads — or hears — is practice in empathy, problem-solving, and healthy relationships.

Did You Know? Your Body Responds to People Before Your Mind Does ✨🧠

Before words…
Before meaning…
Before reactions…

Your body notices first šŸ’«

When you’re around certain people, you might feel:

• Dry mouth or tight throat

• Sweaty palms, hands, or feet

• Tingling in the hands, feet, or face

• Tight jaw or tense shoulders

• Shallow, held, or quick breathing

• Fast, heavy, or loud heartbeat

• Butterflies, knots, or unease in the belly

• Sudden heaviness or low energy

• Or a softening… a full breath… ease

These are not problems to fix.
They’re signals to notice

When these cues go unseen, they can show up as behaviors:

• Going quiet or pulling back
• People-pleasing or over-agreeing
• Over-explaining or filling the space
• Feeling irritable or reactive
• Saying yes when the body wants pause

Nothing is wrong with you.
Your nervous system is doing its job

Noticing sensation before behavior creates more choice, care, and connection.

Dysregulation is information

šŸ—£ Yelling, Screaming, Talking Back → Body in fight, trying to regain control

🤐 Shutting Down, Going Silent, Refusing → Freeze response protecting from overwhelm
šŸƒā€ā™‚ļø Running Away or Avoiding** → Flight response seeking safety

šŸ˜‚ Laughing, Joking, Being Silly at the ā€œWrongā€ Time → Nervous system releasing stress

āœ‹ Defiance, Arguing, ā€œI Don’t Careā€ → Protection, not disrespect

šŸ¤ Clinginess, People-Pleasing, Excessive Apologies → Fawn response trying to stay safe

🧠 Difficulty Following Directions or Remembering → Brain offline, not willful disobedience

Bad Behavior… or Dysregulation?

Sometimes ā€œacting outā€ is really the body and brain trying to cope.

šŸ”¹ Crying, yelling, or withdrawing ≠ defiance
šŸ”¹ Fidgeting or avoiding tasks = stress signals
šŸ”¹ Disrespect? Maybe a call for help or connection

šŸ’” Pause. Breathe. Move. Respond with curiosity.

Behavior is communication. Listening changes everything.

The Science That Guides Our Work 🧠

Have you experienced…

1. Emotional neglect or feeling unseen as a child?

2. A parent or caregiver struggling with mental health or substance use?

3. Separation, divorce, or loss in your family?

4. Witnessing conflict or violence at home?

Research shows that experiencing 3–4 types of these early life challenges can be linked with higher health risks and a shorter lifespan later in life. ([CDC, 2023](https://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/aces/index.html))

Here’s the hopeful truth:

Your past doesn’t define you.
Resilience can grow at any age

Safe relationships, mindful practices, and caring support **can change the trajectory

Understanding ACEs helps us create environments where children and families thrive
