The affect that a teacher or coach has on the lives of children that incorporates this model is profound. This is known because in a sense this is a gift someone takes through their lifetime. Everyone has that coach that without knowing it impacts you well into your adulthood for many these are natural attributes that have manifested a successful process of education by someone who is gifted with these natural attributes of empathy and connectivity.
I have always educated parents that the most important part of disciplining a child is consistency and predictability. Chaos creates destructive behaviors because the child doesn’t know what to expect.
Be mindful of how you’re presenting yourself. Are you regulating your emotions and the energy you’re putting into a situation? If you are putting too much energy into a situation the people around you will feel it and react. Same with not enough energy. There is something called the IZOF…Individual Zone of Optimal Functioning. It’s all about the energy. Can you imagine someone cheering like they are at football game at a funeral? Likely you won’t see that because that is too much energy for the situation. So, when kids are environments where everyone is always yelling over the loud TV, they are more likely to be displaying behaviors out of proportion to the situation…ie…too much energy to focus at school (misdiagnosed ADHD) because their household requires a lot of energy all the time just to communicate. So they will continue the behaviors in school. Adults are not immune and will do the same thing which probably accounts for the majority of adults on ADHD meds. And to answer the question…energy matters and in order to be aware of the energy you put out, you really have to take the time to focus on how you’re feeling in the situation, your physiological symptoms and be aware of how other people are receiving the nonverbal cues you’re putting out into the room. It’s mindfulness

why do you talk about diversity? we should promote homogenous societies like in Asia and Africa and the Middle East - why increase complexity as a matter of principle? It's not smart.
What Happened to You is amazing. I enjoy the material Oprah covers, always have. While reading What happened to You, written by Oprah Winfrey and Bruce Perry, I realized that I'm the teacher from St A's on page 38, that worked with the young black boys in the class. I went through Bruce Perry's training at St A. I have used this understanding for over 14 years in the classroom. I even did a talk on it a few years back for Charlotte Mecklenburg Public Schools. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bHB-XoPjIVQ.html
