Season 2 - Episode 11: When Behaviour Feels Big
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What do you do when a child's behaviour feels overwhelming, transitions become a daily battle, or you're just not sure what to try next?
In this episode of The Educators Edit, we're joined by Kirsten, The Grove Academy's Behaviour Therapist, for a practical and honest conversation about some of the real challenges educators face every day.
From children struggling with transitions and arrival, to supporting big emotions, co-regulation, group times, sensory needs and those tricky conversations when families say, "But they don't do that at home!" Kirsten shares practical strategies and a different way of looking at behaviour.
We also chat about the emotional load on educators, how leaders can recognise when their teams need more support, and why sometimes the best thing we can do is stop trying to fix everything and start looking at what's happening underneath the behaviour.
Expect plenty of practical takeaways, real educator scenarios and advice you can take straight back into your room.
