Overview of the first workshop:
*Theory and concepts about learning and behaviours*Why behaviour that challenges you occurs and how to prevent it
*The HOW - techniques to de-escalate a situation
*reflection and embedding techniques
Looked at what happens to the brain when its under stress.
When under stress it shuts down areas, thoughts, and services the body doesn't need to protect itself and sustain life.
The more stress we feel, the more areas it shuts down.
Calm down to think better - relax, mindfulness, etc

*Why behaviour that challenges you occurs and how to prevent it
Understand yourself - what pushes my buttonsWhat can I influence - only thing we can control is what we do, think and believe...
and what we do, think and believe can influence the outcome to increase the likelihood of de-escalation

Second workshop
RESPONDING SAFELY

Personify that of the sun.
That which removes adversity, brings calm, and provides light.
Responding safely to different situations
Think about:
check the level of behaviour
what am I seeing
how to respond if I need to
When a childs behaviour is escalating there will be no learning
They will only be ready for learning when we see a ready to learn state
