This kid is so sensitive! I know they have a hard life, but they're in school and safe now. Why are they still shutting down or exploding?

"Just let it go and let's do some math." We’ve all been there—trying to teach when a student is clearly dysregulated. But asking a child to push down stress often leads to more disruptions or shutting down completely.In this episode of Quick Bites, Ginger Lewman and Eric Nachtigal dive into Part 2 of Closing the Stress Cycle, specifically focusing on kids. We discuss why academic learning (math, ELA) is physically impossible when a child is outside their "window of tolerance" and how you can use "dosing regulation" to get them back on track.In this video, we cover:Why telling kids to "calm down" doesn't work without physiological support.Focused Attention Practices: Using movement and breathing (Dr. Lori Desatels’ strategies) to reset the nervous system.The difference between real social connection and social media/AI.Simple ways to incorporate regulation into your daily schedule without losing instructional time.🔗 Resources & References:Listen to Part 1 (Closing the Stress Cycle for Adults): [Link to Part 1]Dr. Lori Desatels (Focused Attention Practices)👇 Connect with us: If you found this helpful, please Like & Subscribe so we can reach more educators! https://www.essdack.org/resilience/home
