In this LIVE show, Behavior Gurus, Brian Mendler (former self-contained teacher, author & speaker) and Chyna Lynner (special education teacher & social media influencer) will help solve behavior, classroom management & student engagement/motivation issues. We will take your questions and provide strategies to use immediately with the most challenging kids & parents.

In episode 2 of “beyond the behavior,” Brian & Ms. Chyna discuss strategies to help YOU overcome power struggles. Together, they share new ideas for what to do when students refuse to do the task at hand, along with strategies to use when students use disrespectful language. One of the most important take-aways for teachers or parents from this episode, will be to take time to try to figure out the reason behind the behavior. Brian Mendler discusses the acronym HALT, in which he reminds us to identify the reason “behind the behavior” by looking at whether or not the student is Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired.

Ms. Chyna talks about the importance of negotiating with students and how sometimes it’s ok to compromise on a designated task or assignment. While Brian Mendler touches on the importance of remaining firm and still implementing consequences as appropriate. This episode is not only jam packed with various strategies & teacher tips to help you overcome power struggles, but there are also strategies that can help with students who frequently use swear words, struggle with consequences, or need to be held accountable. As always, we’re rooting for you! Keep doing what’s right for kids. You’ve got this!!
