Learning about the Arousal - Relaxation Cycle and trust-security attachment made me see how essential it is to respond to the underlying needs behind students’ behaviour. If we focus on what the students may need at that moment, a quiet moment to self-regulate, a listening ear, or reassurance we can help to create an environment where students feel safe to express themself and encouraged to deal with challenges.
The application of the activity ‘’Essential Connections’’ made me reflect on my own responses and actions in times when I lost connections. In mind with that, I understand that our role as educators is to acknowledge each child's values and perspectives and help them have a sense of belonging in our class and school community. On top of that, one of our most important roles as educators in some situations is to help students untie any lost connections and refind a sense of purpose and meaning.
