And you know, because a lot of our kids have never had the chance to have a friend, they've not
really been able to develop those pro social skills that they're gonna need for adulthood.
So there's a big focus on, you know, helping them to be successful socially.
Like we teach 'em how their brain works and
you know, what a pro social skill is and how their amygdala gets overexcited and, you know, all sorts of things like that that help them learn how to be emotionally regulated and
cooperative and collaborative with other people and how to have a friend and and maintain friendships.
Like those things are really important too.
Yeah, they do.
So that that's another big focus is part of being an attachment community is we really teach them about what their abilities and their disabilities are and w and we help them to be um thoughtful and caring about everybody.
So for example, uh you you might have a child who's having a
a meltdown and they're crying because they couldn't figure out how to do something.
You know, in another school they might be made fun of if they're a fifth or sixth grader who's crying because their Lego construction didn't come together the way they wanted it to.
But, you know, in our community the we understand that everybody has those moments where you're emotionally dysregulated and
Yeah, go into fight, flight or freeze.
We we really try hard to teach them about
Um you know, Mona Delhook's work or the based on the polyvagal theory by Stephen Porridge is about what happens when they they go into that mode and how to self soothe and bring themselves back.
And so when they understand all those kinds of things at a deeper level, they're not gonna make fun of each other and they're not gonna bully each other.
I mean that's not to say that if we have a kid come in who's been bullied their whole life and then suddenly they're somewhere where they're not being bullied.
Sometimes they do try out bullying because, you know, that's what they've
been been exposed to so they're they're mirroring it in our community.
