Love the information here it's definitely a scaffolding that supports or follows the self-regulation and challenging behaviour.

Great to reiterate that a child's behaviour is a way of communication and asking what is the intention behind that behaviour. Reminding us that as a teacher, to change your view of disruptive behaviour as a great opportunity to enact our role as the teacher.

I really appreciated the bit of food for thought around children with challenging behaviors and how other children have picked this up and when something happens they might say "Oh that was _" but that child wasn't even at school that day. This really hit hard with me, and gave me something to reflect and think on. Really great point made!
