Call back day #8 October 2nd, 2018.

What is the why behind everything you do?

4 values that are most important to me.

• Uniqueness
• Supportive
• Inspirational
• Determination

10 values of who you are.

• humourous
• inclusive
• challenging
• creative
• honest
• ethical
• encouraging
• reliable
• efficient
• respectful

My goal for term 4 is to work smarter not harder.

Ways I can achieve this are by utilising support systems within my classroom, school, and home-life.

Presentation by Hillary Nobilo & Duncan Anderson

Information was presented by Nobilo and Anderson on current understanding on brain development in the early years specific to vulnerable children.

What I have found interesting is the different stages of emotions that children experience, and the different parts of the brain and the jobs they have. 

Signs a child may be triggered

Anxiety, fear, and worry about safety of self and others (more clingy with a teacher or parent).

• Worry about recurrence of violence.
• Increased distress (unusually whiny, irritable, moody).
• Changes in behaviour.
• Increase in activity level.
• Decreased attention and/or concentration.
• Withdrawal from others or activities.
• Absenteeism.
• Increased somatic complaints (eg: headaches, stomach-aches, over reaction to minor bumps and bruises).
