WARNING: This episode has a lot of swearing in it!! Dealing with the challenging behaviours are never easy, especially when they feel personal.That's why in today's episode, I wanted to talk through one of my own experiences, how I dealt with it, and the lessons we can take away.SOME KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:Connection First: Even when behaviour feels personal or triggering, prioritise connection as it de-escalates and opens the door to change.Context Matters: There is no one-size-fits-all response. Tailor your approach to the student and situation.Do Not Make It About You: Refuse to internalize disrespect. Staying focused on the bigger picture helps you avoid power struggles.If ever in doubt, you can ask yourself, "Will my response bring us closer together or drive us further apart?" And my personal favourite: Connection is NEVER the wrong answer.Please don't forget to take care of yourselves as a priority, wonderful Unteachables community!Have a question, comment, or just want to say hello?
