We don’t have to tell those listening that when kids don't feel safe or are in a state of emotional dysregulation, they cant problem-solve, learn or enjoy activities. And despite our best efforts, things that are often out of our control can trigger kids whether it’s a noise, a look from another kid in programming, or just them being overtired. Creating a safe space in programming can go a long way in helping kids calm down. Tiffany Kula joins us today to give us practical ideas to do just that.

This is Beyond the Bell with WOSTA, Wisconsin’s hub for professional development for anyone working in out of school time programs and youth serving organizations. It's our mission to help you provide the highest quality care to children and their families. If you wish you had an extra tool going into programming to help guide behaviors in a productive way, wish you knew more about how to provide the whole family with support, or want to enhance your own wellbeing, then this is a home for you. We know what it’s like to feel like there is never enough time or resources to meet everyone’s needs and we are here to support you through challenges. Stay tuned as we explore new ideas and strategies that you can use right away.
