We can’t expect kids to thrive academically when their brain is stuck in survival mode. 🧠
That’s not defiance - t’s biology. A child’s nervous system prioritizes safety over standards, regulation over recall.

Before they can learn, they need to feel safe, seen, and supported. When we build connection first, we unlock the part of the brain where learning truly happens.
