School Discipline Is Trauma-Insensitive, With Dr. Stuart Ablon
Educators have a tough job. They are overworked, underpaid, and very under-appreciated.
These men and women are tasked with the job of teaching our children. Helping mold them into who they will become as adults.
But they also have to face our children at their best and worst behaviors. Educators are being trained to understand the impact of chronic stress and trauma on students’ development, behavior, and learning.
Schools are making great strides in becoming trauma-informed, and trauma-sensitive, but they have a long way to go.
In an article on Psychology Today, Dr. Stuart Ablon writes:
"...traditional school discipline revolves around rewarding students when they do what we want and revoking privileges when they don’t: a toxic dynamic that many traumatized kids are already all too familiar with in their past relationships with adults. In other words, traditional school disciplinary strategies are about as trauma-uninformed and trauma-insensitive as it gets!"
Together we discuss the changes needed to our school systems, how parents collaborate with teachers, and better ways to respond to children in the classrooms.
