Kids don't plan to come to school to get into trouble. Behaviour is a form of communication and quite often - the reason for it will make you sad, not angry.

We all know the power of greeting students at their classroom door, what if we greeted them at the front doors as well or as soon as they got off the buses?

This is a common thing, and I’ve seen children reprimanded for having their hoodie or jacket on when adults feel they shouldn’t. Children with emotional struggles, physical abuse marks to hide, autism, sensory issues, trauma...lets consider what matters here...safety.
