Calming Classroom Chaos : An Educator's Guide to Strategies and a Different Perspective on Behavior

The Secret to Happy provides insight into our children's behavior and introduces concepts related to self-regulation, brain development, and sensory processing. It is written for anyone trying to help a struggling child and is designed to be easily read with relatable "mom" moments. Today's world is moving too fast for many kids to adapt, so they have a hard time finding success. This book discusses the various puzzle pieces that help define how we view behavior and will directly impact how we manage that behavior. Strategies and ideas an occupational therapist might prescribe are included as well as problem-solving tools for obstacles that prevent any of us from finding HAPPY. Student behavior often dictates the dynamic of a classroom, and educators must manage their environment to provide a safe, supportive space for all students to thrive. School presents unique challenges for kids who struggle with focused attention, behavioral regulation, and underdeveloped skills. Calming Classroom Chaos explains the role of sensory processing in behavior and discusses how executive functioning skills impact academic success. Since our assumptions of student behavior infl uence the strategies we might use to help a child, this book presents many ideas to broaden the explanations behind possible challenges students face. Our interpretation of any situation aff ects our expectations and the outcome. This changes how we engage with a student. How we respond is everything. Empower yourself with knowledge and tools. This book includes: - Targeted interventions for specifi c behavioral challenges in the classroom - Research-proven knowledge utilized by occupational therapists to address a child's diffi culties with regulation and behavior - A summary of nervous system and brain-based functions that play a primary role in behavior and learning - A review of specific disabilities and the IEP (Individualized Education Program) and 504 special education process A fresh outlook and an eff ective toolbox have the potential to further inspire lasting change in the lives of your students.
