Join me, Shahana Knight, the Founder and Director of TPC Therapy to talk about all things related to wellbeing and mental health in schools. Each week will be full of innovative ideas, inspirational stories, practical guidance and even some freebies, so that we can actually re-define what school should be for the children of today.

I often hear teachers commenting that a child in their school has “Kicked off” and I want to dive in today’s episode and unpick how we can help these children. Often when we deal with a difficult behaviour incident we focus all of our attention on the behaviour and we forget that the behaviour has a reason. It's always a sign that a child is struggling with something and instead of trying to stop the behaviour we need to begin to focus on helping guide the child.
Children need to be taught how to manage their feelings and struggles by a caring adult who recognises that they are struggling and need help, they do not need to be punished for having a difficult feeling and learn that their need for support is met with rejection.
In this episode, we will explore some key steps to supporting children through a ‘kick off’ therapeutically, keeping connection and teaching at the core of the approach.
I hope you love today's episode, please share it with others if you do!
