Today is the first episode in a mini-series of teacher questions. Lauren reached out to different school districts and teachers for a list of their most pressing questions to answer. While these were asked by teachers there is a lot of information that relates to parents and other caregivers so don’t miss this episode. 

Today’s Listener Questions: 

• How do you de-escalate a child who is losing composure?
• How do we reduce stress, trauma, and negative behavior triggers?
• How technology use affects stress?
• How long can it take to “reprogram” the brain after major stress/trauma events (such as the pandemic)?
• What are the best practices, or strategies, to help students who’ve experienced trauma?
• Are young people likely more stressed by the pandemic than adults?
• Is it better to teach in a way that assumes all children have experienced trauma?
• Is learning to cope with stress as good as eliminating stress?
