Trauma affects how children learn in the classroom. When children don't feel safe, they cannot access the part of the brain required for learning. If you've ever wondered why some students seem constantly dysregulated, reactive, or withdrawn, this episode will give you the missing piece. What you'll learn in this episode: Why trauma leaves a lasting impact on a child's behaviour, emotions, and ability to learn. The difference between simple, complex, and developmental trauma and why it matters. How trauma keeps children stuck in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn states. Why traditional behaviour management strategies (like rewards and punishments) don't work, particularly for children with trauma. How to create a safe, predictable classroom environment that supports regulation. Why your own emotional regulation is key to helping students feel safe.
