#120 Teaching Kids Emotional Regulation at Home feat. Shanna Malone

"When we become chaotic, it adds to their chaos. We share that energy. We can share our calm with them or we can share our chaos with them. A child will never be in a higher center of their brain than the adult who is responding to them." - Shanna Malone Today's guest is one of my longest and dearest friends, Shanna Malone. She has been in the education field for 10 years as a classroom teacher, an assistant director over a non-profit for children experiencing homelessness, and a coach. This year, she took on the role of Social Emotional Support Specialist for the elementary schools in a city outside of Dallas. She has been coaching teachers on using their classroom management as an effective manner for delivering social and emotional learning. She says her vision for education is that we create a generation of students that are equipped with the emotional and social tools required to navigate adulthood with healthy and helpful strategies.
