THERE ARE CERTAIN UNMISTAKABLE SIGNS OF WHEN A CHILD DOESN’T FEEL SAFE: the child is very withdrawn and subdued; emotionally volatile; overly anxious; highly impulsive; inattentive, or easily distracted. Or bullying other children. It’s this last sentence that should make us suddenly sit up and realize that we need to think seriously about what we understand by “safe.” We have so much research now telling us how important it is for children’s well-being that they feel safe. We’ve tended to interpret these findings in terms of the need to stamp out bullying; yet if bullying itself is an unmistakable sign that a child doesn’t feel safe, then what exactly does “safe” mean?

Amazing session with Dr. Stuart Shanker at CLL Wednesday.  He spoke for two hours of self-regulation.  He talked a great deal about the need to help kids feel safe and to move to an emotionally safe zone while they are at school.  Really interesting ideas on how to deal with challenging children.
