What do you think all adults need to know about big behaviours?TES news recently shared that 1 in 4 educators have restrained a child. I’d love to hear your perspective on this. What is your opinion on what we are missing in behaviour training to avoid this?I love your mantra: No blame no shame. Can you shed some light on why blaming and shaming strategies are so damaging in schools?You share many amazing strategies, but I wanted to hone in on emotional connection.

Neuroscience is tricky, let’s be honest. But you visualise big concepts into memorable ones. One, I think we need to be talking about more in schools is the body budget. Can you explain the concept of the body budget?What kind of ‘deposits’ can we make to our own body budget and can we make deposits for our children?You share that social isolation is a withdrawal, can you explain what you mean by that?You also highlight suppressing emotions as a withdrawal. How might we expect a child’s behaviour to change if they have no opportunities to identify or talk about how they are feeling?From a neuroscience perspective, what are some of the implications of children being isolated as a way to ‘teach them a lesson’? We are so proud to have two incredible sponsors for Behaviour Besties season 4: Now,Press, Play and The Little Coach House.Now, Press, PlayNow>Press>Play is an award-winning educational company founded in 2012 by Alice Lacey and Oscar Wood.
