GodisNOT NOTDead this is how all people that work with children should be all over the world. It sure would be a much nicer place as a whole to live in. I have a child who suffers from ADD & anxiety. although I feel she has grown alot over the years, certain situations that arise in school were & can still be the main triggers for her. Also, my youngest child, who is now 10, is the sweetest, incredibly helpful, loving & we'll behaved boy. Unfortunately, he has almost always had difficulty in the school environment. He becomes easily agitated & shuts down. He has refused to do or pay attention to school work because he'd be so hard on himself & believe it was just simply too difficult. We have had our fair share of teachers that have been understanding & patient. We've also had some that have had no clue how to handle it especially when he'd have an outburst after being pushed to the breaking point. Teachers like the woman in this documentary would have saved my younger 2 from years of stress & frustration. These type of people are what my son responds well too. Luckily we have come by a few that are that loving & wonderful.
Vanessa Noel ich ziehe meinen Hut vor solchen Leuten! Respekt! Diese verstörten Kinder kommen alle aus verstörten Familien anderseits keine Erklärung fuer mich! Kinder die in normalen liebevollen Familien aufwachsen,sind nicht gestört! Kinder brauchen liebe und alle Aufmerksamkeit die sie nötig haben,sonst werden sie eben so verstört!
Alynn Herschell I was researching things for our family and I just read this article that might help your family. It's called Herbal Medicine Treats Children With Learning and Behavioral Problems by Case Adams.
natural diet is everything even beteter organic. diets are depleted and kids are malnourished being filled with toxic processed frozen, canned foods. Diets make massive change in kids with behavioural issues.
So cute when the little boy was showing the cameraman around. These kids aren't bad they just need more patience and love. Well done to these teachers! This was great :-)
Amen , they just had it hard in someway or another in their young life , it’s heartbreaking so MENY little ones are born and not loved , cared for , enough , disaplented in a loving way , there dammed from the beginning of there innocent pure life as a baby ,
Wee Jason was an absolute sweetheart! The difference in his behaviour over time - the behaviour of all the featured children, in fact - was nothing short of remarkable. It was also incredible how they went from being unable to control their own behaviour and emotions to actually being able to analyse and discuss their progress in a really articulate way. It’s an awesome program, for sure.
The blonde woman is an absolute angel! Just listening to her voice is a very calming and uplifting experience. It's quite evident that her love and compassion has really turned around her students' lives.
Reading through the comments so many people are quick to point out what is wrong with the kids or what the teachers aren't doing right. But not many people notice the things that are done right. The patience, positivity and passion these ladies have for teaching children is awesome. It's easy to point your finger and say this person needs to do that, to spank, the parents suck, change their food, the walls need paint.... no These teachers are doing great, every kid is different but they're all being themselves beautifully.
So glad you spoke up! I thought I was the only one, some of these comments are really negative. I wish there'd been this sort of help for my brother. I think these teachers are brilliant! Those gorgeous kids made so much progress!
Deborah Woods teachers are really special people. We just need to focus on the positives and continue to do what works instead of always pointing out the negatives and things will continue to improve.
You make a good point here. The people who think they know what needs to be done for these kids forget that they don't know the parents or even the kids themselves personally and that they simply have no right to make that judgment. Also, the teachers at this school seem to know what they're doing. They're patient, gentle, and they use positive reinforcement, and it seems to work.
That teacher is incredible at her job... Calm, experienced, amazing use of language to really make the children glow with pride. So amazing to see the positive changes in the children.
I came across this documentary by accident, and I was really surprised to see Mrs Gabrith (hope I wrote her name right!) I 've met Mrs Gabrith for the first time at the beginning of this school year (2016). She is the assistant head master at the public school that my kids attend to. The are no words to describe this incredible woman! She is everywhere! She knows exactly what's happening at any time, knows each and every kid and their needs as well as their parents. We migrated recently to Scotland and I was really worried if my kids would have a good school.. After meeting her it was the last on my list to worry about. Wish all the teachers were like her..
Honestly I wish the teachers at my high school were like that- some of them were very nice and extremely patient but others just liked to shout at us - I did have a good high school experience don’t get me wrong but jeez some of the teachers just need to calm down and be more like Mrs Gabrith
@Lauren Evenden sure, it's possible. the much more likely scenario is he's grown up witnessing a lot of alcoholism. hence why he's having the behavioral problems. to say that he was 'perfectly happy messing around' is very naive too. children express things in all kinds of strange ways through their behaviour.
These teachers have changed these children's lives forever. I don't understand any negative comments regarding their efforts. Patience, boundaries, compassion, time, willingness... these things make the difference. I didn't think that their behavior was due to being on camera. These children were noticeably changed. They recognized the change in themselves! I hope this program is still being practiced. Children need them.
Once someone is a psychopath, there's no going back, you can treat it but a psychopath is a psychopath for life, they'll never feel empathy. This could help but I've got a feeling it only helps about 20% in any long-term fashion. If you're able to pick up a weapon and go on a killing spree, you're a psychopath and as I said, you can't treat psychopathy...
This was a heart-warming documentary. I wish I had seen this when I was teaching. These teachers have wonderful skills managing poor behavior and changing it for the better. Well worth a watch for ALL teachers.
If only there were more people in teaching like this lady. She is there with all of her heart. It was so uplifting to see her at work and how much of a difference she has made to all of those kids.
I love watching documentaries. When I tell my friends this they're like, "what the hell?" Especially for my age. I'm sixteen. It's just something I enjoy. Getting to learn about different things in my free time it expands my knowledge. Also, I also have fun facts to tell my mom at the end of the day when she gets home from work.
Oh, stop it. A lot of 16 year olds don't watch documentarys and the fact that this young person enjoys learning is a big deal! I get teased for watching documentarys too and i am 34. People tease about a lot of things. Instead of laughing why not tell TooLit that she is smart and good on her for being herself and having a good relationship.
her choice has nothing to do with you "Handsoap" until you decided to comment, just like me commenting at you, I could have just read your "negative" remark and just shook my head.....
When they give the mum a certificate I cried! Maybe an indication that she had troubles at school, just like her son. It’s all about positive reinforcement, not punishment.
Sharon G thanks very much ! yeah so do I do be honest lol unfortunately Jordyn is in a young offenders institution now her and her friends got charged with an attempt murder.
+Grant Thank you so much. Oh! How sad that is to hear about Jordyn. Your Mum is probably one of, if not the best, people Jordyn ever had in her life. The area that the school is in looks like a rough place for a child to grow up in, and there are so many factors that come into play with what happens when kids become teens. I'm not condoning her crime if she is guilty, but how very sad to hear. I thank you for your reply, Grant.
This is amazing to see how patient she is with kids that have behaviour issues and take her trying to understand the different issues for each child I think this is absolutely amazing she deserves an award I wish there were more teachers like this
Avalon Ressler I want to be a mom like her..... what a shining example. :) Its really so sad how little it takes to change these kids lives. Kinda makes me view those unruly children having screaming meltdowns and tantrums in public.... with a lot more understanding and patience, abandoning previous judgement for their parents and them. I never thought about what would make them behave that way, but really it makes so much sense. Im super grateful for the videos and tools on youtube about this topic. Ive found them extreemly enlighting and useful. Although, I should hope the lady is a Godblessed saint. Hahaha! :)
When she said she was behaving like a toddler I wasn’t even ready for what was to come! The fact he thought it was perfectly okay to be crawling around and going in others things while the class was all sitting and learning was unreal to me. She is the most amazing teacher I’ve ever witnessed! Her patience level is massive. I was getting frustrated and mad just watching his behavior i couldn’t imagine dealing with it daily.
I really think she is that patient with or without the cameras. I think if she was being fake for the cameras, these particular kids would call her out for it. These kids seem to really respond to her. I think if she was just acting this way for the cameras the kids wouldn't respond to her positively. My sister in law is a teacher and she is really patient like this. I couldn't do it but am very glad there are teachers like this.
The counselors at my school (i'm a teacher) are EXCELLENT and VERY patient. It's what they go to school for. It's what they choose to do with their lives.
I would love to see a follow-up on these kids. They all did so well and the teacher's had so much love and respect for these children, they do amazing work each and everyday.
As someone who works for adults with disabilities/dual-diagnoses, AND childhood trauma, this concept seems much more helpful than ALL the experiences at "special schools" that I've heard. It's healthier for kids to be together, no matter their disability or behavioural issue, so long as they don't put their classmates in danger. Fostering more tolerance for non-neurotypical, and misunderstood kids by providing structure and expectations for schoolwork goals, but also a place to work out their issues which a trained teacher/aid for extra help before returning to class, seems great. Hard work, but great. I don't see the issue with providing safe spaces for these kids to "chill out" before returning to another class session. Even for neurotypical kids who are very emotionally distraught would benefit from it. If anything, they probably just need more educators for this type of educational model to be really effective.
it's all relative, for me this is far from inclusion, we'd rarely see stand alone classrooms anymore. and though i like some aspects fof the program, we'd never do things like calling out Jordyn in front of her peers.
The teachers in these nurture rooms are absolutely marvelous. They cannot be praised too highly for the incredible amount of effort and patience they put into their mission. I think many of these children will look back at their time their later in life and begin to understand. In the meantime, let me bow to you!
You can tell there are bad environments at home. Some show signs of poor nutrition which hugely affects their mental health and development. They have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. There are tell tell signs of abuse at home and parents not equipped to be good parents, due to their own problems.
Watched the whole program tonight, as a teacher myself I solute your patience, encouragement and endurance...not to mention the beautifully decorated classroom 💓
Amazing what love, kindness, and patience can do for a child❤️. That teacher loves every one of her students, you can see it in her eyes and the way she makes it seem they are the most important thing to her. Because they truly are
i grew up in the area around Royston and know a bunch of the kids who attended/still attend the primary school and i'm honestly so impressed with the way that teachers handle children with behavioural problems. i assume this documentary was filmed a number of years ago, but the school used to be (and arguably still is) so underfunded and the number of kids in the classrooms are far over the limit and i'm really glad that the school administrators still managed to create these sorts of facilities for the children, like the 'quiet room' and 'nurture room' etc - the teachers really seem to care about the kids.
im in the US and WISH id had a school like this when my son was little. So impressive! thank you to the teachers, those children are so blessed with the teachers kindness and commpassion!
i like the fact that they recognized the parent's effort as well . Cause often times parents feel like a failure when they have children with behavoiural issues
These Teachers are GOD SENT. The love & patience they exhibit towards these difficult children is so amazing. I hope the children's parents follow through at home with the same consistency & are appreciative of these wonderful Teachers. All I keep thinking is how exhausted they must be bu the end of every day. Phew!
Wow! What a woman! She is the ULTIMATE teacher! Parents need to be like her: patient, knowledgable, compassionate, creative, loving, encouraging, supportive...amazing really. I wish I had her as a teacher. The whole world, every country needs a place and teachers like this.
that blonde woman is lovely.. I wish she'd been in my school, I found school very difficult due to bullying and abuse from my parents, I think she would have helped me a lot
this was a fantastic unjudgemental documentary. it made me sad to read the comments judging children's home lives and families- a child can still have low self esteem or ADHD with all the love in the world. If we take the view that the child comes from a "bad" family we're writing that child off before they've even begun. the staff (not just in this film) are wonderful. The mum who was talking about her child and wanting a fresh start- she clearly loves her children but do we know what childhood or what struggles she's had? Nature Rooms are wonderful - as they said if they can help the children with social and emotional skills as early as they can it help reduce problems later on.
Thank you. It's exactly what my kid is going through right now. She is in the nurture room. I think my child's problem is, too much attention from me, that she never wanted to go to school, she wanted to stay home with me. If I had the brains I would have home schooled her, but I also wanted her to have a social life too, make friends. Her big sister was her best friend for a long time, but after a while at school she made more friends. xx
glad she is happy at school. with free online programmes and outside groups, you can home school your child and learn alongside. just remember this for high school!
I wish more recognition could be given to these teachers who go over and above and display such compassion and understanding of these children. These are lifes real celebrity's.
When they started talking to Jason's mother that was very telling. I remember when I was young the worst and most misbehaved students had the most poorly adjusted unstable parents. Every teacher I've ever dealt with made the dangerous and tunnel visioned assumption that every single child has two well rounded well adjusted parents at home. This couldn't be further from the truth. 'Cracking down' on these children, which is the simplest thing to do, will make the situation worse. Really look at Jason. His mom was such a drunk he had to be taken away. I don't want to know the horrors he had to face as a small child.
Miss Moxie well here's to Jason's mom may she only continue to go upward and have positive reinforcement. I wish and pray for Jason and his mom may they they have a fighting chance at a bit of happiness. And looking at this video I think it was all about the teachers and their approach. Well done ,well done, well done teachers!
Miss Moxie It's not always both parents I had two sons acting out in school they were loved and treasured 24 hours a day problem was there father was an abuser loonatic who called everyday stood on the street and taught my Sons to do wrong despis including tell them don't attend school do everything opposite to what she says in my Situation pack of loonatic s thought I was the issue it has taken 2o years for the truth to come out and be seen by my Sons and I certainly wasn't the problem
Alcohol is very aging, but she had quick. She was looking better by the end, which means her health was improving. I was so happy for her and her lovely boy, Jason.
I’m totally moved by this innovative approach to help nurture those children that need a little extra help to settle in to their school role The dedication and professionalism shown by the teacher is truly amazing I’ was a teacher for 25 years and I relate to how proud she is of her achievements with these young children It’s a wonderful feeling when you see the children flourish and it’s obvious that she has enabled these children to become valued members of society as evert child matters
I am having to have these conversations and teach these lessons with my 12 year old students. My admiration for these teachers is beyond words, I’m glad I watched this! Helps me with my practice
this woman is amazing. Ive worked in ED and BD classrooms and it is the most emotionally draining frustrating and exhausting job i can imagine. May God reward her
Awesome teachers. In the 50's through 60's in my elementary, children were lined up in school and moved to each classroom where they were humiliated in front of a whole class and then hit with a paddle. It was quite brutal for all the children. Especially for those children who had to watch and put in fear all the time.
The patience, resilience and determination the teachers show though out is admirable and so touching. I grew up when you couldn’t talk back let alone have a tantudrum and thought that was probably the right way..this documentary has changed my mind
willshedo My dad made root beer in beer bottles. I'd pretend it was beer and stagger around the front yard with beer bottle. Yep my dad was an alcoholic.
Really? Just because he played drunk? I don't think so There are televisions, computers with the internet and You tube.He could have saw that anywhere.
i APPRECIATED HOW THEY INCLUDED THE MOM OF ONE OF THE CHILDREN. HOW SHE, TOO ,WAS RECOGNIZED. HER REACTION WAS HEART WARMING, PRECIOUS. THOSE WHO WORK WITH THE CHILDREN , DESERVE TO BE HONORED.
These teachers do an absolutely incredible job, they are fantastic. They change lives. They change the whole lives of the children, but of their families as well and all the people around them. I am so impressed!
The teachers working with these children are amazing, they truly see the kids as amazing young people with a ton of potential. As a Mom of an autistic boy, teachers like this are a godsend. Thank you to all the teachers who see the child behind the behaviour and stay calm and consistent to help them.
I was so happy to see how much these three kids improved. They all became so much happier, and the happiness on their faces when they got praised was amazing. These schools are incredible.
Should also add, this documentary inspire me to train for the job I do now, because these women are incredible and if I'm half the professional they are I'll consider it a success
My late mom in law used to be a teacher, a long time ago, before the concept of "nurture rooms". They sent her all the "difficult" children - those who, in today's world, would have been put on Ritalin. She managed to calm those terrors down, and get them to accept order and structure in their world. She always said that the children's behaviour was like a film of what is happening at home. Some poor children have no alternative than turning out as terrors. (BTW, I have no problem with kids taking medication, as long as you know it is not a problem being caused by inept parents.) I have the GREATEST respect for the teachers in this programme.
These Teachers, no- *SAINTS;* give these children the love, patience, and compassion that their parents won't or can't. From the wider society who will be impacted by them for generations *THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!*
This series inspired me to improve my sensory spaces using some of the same resources used in the sensory room featured. I will refer back to this series when I need ideas and encouragement with my children. Really valuable.
shes 'just' doing what the patents should have done throughout the years ... this kids cant cope the curriculum, the need that emotional nurturing you give them. It's a fantastic idea. Terrific job
Right, but I done that with my child. She was by my side 24/7 I kid you not. I don't go out and drink, I don't have a fun time out with pals, I stay home with my children. My child had to go into the nurture room because classroom scared her. All those people. She was not emotionally or mentally ready to sit still and do some numbers and alphabet at 4 and half years old. In fact I have personally noticed, not many children at that age are ready. My son was the same. But my other 2 daughters who went into school at 5 and half years old, were more than ready emotionally to cope with the classroom. That is what is bugging me about these ill thought out comments. Yours is tame in comparison to the others. The nurture room and the staff are absolutely fantastic with them. It's more like home school I would say, but within school grounds where there are others to socialise with. I would have home schooled my child if I had the brains to do so. But I don't. There are plenty of reasons why many of these children are in nurture room. Dad has left home to go overseas for work, the family has broken down because parents split, Sensory issues i.e on the autistic spectrum, Older children within the home and their needs. Getting the balance right is very difficult. It's not just abused/neglected children who need the nurture room. Not one parent can say they have it 100%, but it seems by some comments on here, that they expect that or take the kids away. Sad :(
oisha sha dos This angel without wings gives Jamie the hug that Mama should have given him before school. My heart breaks for him. That teacher is gentle yet firm.
An outstanding thing about these educators is that the focus on providing what is best for their students. I don't hear them blaming and shaming the parents, other teachers, or the children. They simply address the problem, treat the children with respect and proper attention, and have reasonable expectations for them.
I am absolutely amazed and got so excited watching this documentary . It's so wonderful to see these fantastic , patient teachers providing positive reinforcement even when the child was unable to respond in the beginning in the " the nurture room " . It was fantastic to watch from beginning to end and experience all the behavior changes not only with this group of beautiful, smart children but also the importance of including the parents . This brought tears of joy to my eyes . Thank you so much for sharing , We need more incredible teachers in the world .
Mwamba Simon Kapss i Think so too! abused ,many of them! Poor unloved Children,no child Should be born without being loved! a family lisence,thats what we need!
Mwamba Simon Kapss I think that's the point they made of showing that :( very sad. Unfortunately, while I'm sure they're aware of these children's living situation, influences or experiences, there's likely not much they can do to change that. Instead the focus is on changing how they've learnt to deal with emotions into a more constructive one, and made school a positive environment they look forwards to. If they live in a scary area, or don't have permanent housing, or miss their parents - it must feel great for school to be a respite from all that.
people often don't realize that trauma doesn't have to be physical to permanently damage a child. I worked for years with children with severe behavior disorders and only one of them was ever physically abused, and he was by far the easiest to manage. the emotional damage is so much deeper and harder to address.
You are amazing teachers. Worth what no man can pay and will be rewarded in eternity. Keep up the good work as people like you can change the world! My heart is touched.
As an educator, it is so encouraging to see the staff communicating with parents. There must be a team approach will all children. Adults need to tear down any existing guilt or shame for their children's behaviors. Even getting parents to stop in a parent's lounge for morning coffee, tea, and cookies, get them into the school in order to make them focused on educational goals and to work as a team for student improvement. Well done!
whatever these teachers are being paid, its not nearly enough. They're gonna require psychiatric help of their own after a year of this! god bless' em!
+georgina cat You obviously don't realize it, but your snide remark serves only to strengthen the argument that teachers such as those shown here are unconscionably underpaid. By reminding us that they've chosen this profession regardless of this fact, you've further underscored their value to society while also pointing out their selflessness. Thank you!
Salice McCool as someone who does not believe in altruism i do not agree that these teachers get nothing from their work and are selfless. i work in the caring profession and its only been the last 4 years out of 20 that i received a good wage for it. i also chose to do this work for a low income and with lots of heartache and hassle i would not have experienced in other professions. i still chose to go and i received back far more than monetary gain. the remark was not snidey. it was factual. the teachers get lots more than money from the job - more than those they teach.
Jason is an unbelievable child who met an unbelievable teacher and together they completely changed his direction in life. This documentary was outstanding. Anyone who watches it will need tissues as it's a tear jerker but for all the right reasons.
This is how I raised my sisters, in the nuture room style. We had a terribly abusive father, my mother finally divorced him, but by that time that happened, and we were all safe from him (including my mother) the damage had been done. I found you have to be firm, but supportive, very supportive. Yet, you have to give them solid boundaries, a ton of love, and reassurance that its OK to talk about what's going on for them. Often, children who "misbehave" are merely acting out whatever stress they are under. Addressing their needs takes a lot of effort to get results. I got certified as a children's counsellor, used that knowledge to help my sisters out. Worked with teachers, professionals, psychologists, to help identify what their issues were, and make a plan to be implemented across the board. Same in home life, school life, public life etc. I also find that patronising children doesn't work. Reacting negatively does not help. But you do have to hold them accountable. The way to do that is to make it clear that disruptive behaviour will result in constructive discipline. Usually this is by omission in activities that they would otherwise have been involved in, that they enjoy. They need to learn that their behaviour won't be tolerated, but neither will it bring the negative attention that they are after by being disruptive. You need to keep offering the option to be included in group activities, but only if they are willing to behave to the standards set out. In time, they learn that no matter what tantrums they try in whatever form, the result will be the same. They will do what they are told. The longer they mess about, or refuse, the more time they will lose in other activities. This helps them to realise that there is personal accountability. You also have to know their personalities, and have a lot of patience. Explanation is key as well. Children don't always immediately understand why adults behave the way they do. You have to lead by example. Rewards are important as well, as is consistency. If a child knows that if they make enough fuss, you will give in and they get what they want as a reward without earning it, you're in for a possible world of trouble next time. Distraction and redirection are also essential: the child will want to lead you down their established path of behaviour, and make you react the way they expect. You must show them that this is not how it is going to go. Respect is another thing. Remember that you are dealing with another person, it can be difficult to do when you have a class full of unruly kids. They have their own fears, likes, and other things. Kids aren't stupid, they will respond to your kindness, respect and clearly defined rules, although it may take time.
I think this is a wonderful program. If only many more school systems would incorporate these methods into their regular curriculum as a safety measure and alternative program. This woman is wonderful; a God sent, special for these children with problem behaviors. What i liked more than anything is her patience, then incorporating the children in one another's classrooms bringing together and not apart. The outcome of seeing the troubled children back into their classrooms was such a great success. Outstanding!!!!
Great documentary. These teachers are absolute gems! Their patience and kindness is incredible! If these kids watch this in the future, I hope they realize how lucky they were to have been under the care of these special people.
The teacher who works in the nurture room (the blond one) deserves a hell of a reward she's doing great things :)
GodisNOT NOTDead this is how all people that work with children should be all over the world. It sure would be a much nicer place as a whole to live in. I have a child who suffers from ADD & anxiety. although I feel she has grown alot over the years, certain situations that arise in school were & can still be the main triggers for her. Also, my youngest child, who is now 10, is the sweetest, incredibly helpful, loving & we'll behaved boy. Unfortunately, he has almost always had difficulty in the school environment. He becomes easily agitated & shuts down. He has refused to do or pay attention to school work because he'd be so hard on himself & believe it was just simply too difficult. We have had our fair share of teachers that have been understanding & patient. We've also had some that have had no clue how to handle it especially when he'd have an outburst after being pushed to the breaking point. Teachers like the woman in this documentary would have saved my younger 2 from years of stress & frustration. These type of people are what my son responds well too. Luckily we have come by a few that are that loving & wonderful.

So cute when the little boy was showing the cameraman around. These kids aren't bad they just need more patience and love. Well done to these teachers! This was great :-)
Kids screaming and shouting, usually learn it from somewhere. That somewhere is usually the home.
Amen , they just had it hard in someway or another in their young life , it’s heartbreaking so MENY little ones are born and not loved , cared for , enough , disaplented in a loving way , there dammed from the beginning of there innocent pure life as a baby ,

It was also incredible how they went from being unable to control their own behaviour and emotions to actually being able to analyse and discuss their progress in a really articulate way.

I am a teacher. Tears in my eyes. big applause to the staff in this xx
The blonde woman is an absolute angel! Just listening to her voice is a very calming and uplifting experience. It's quite evident that her love and compassion has really turned around her students' lives.
Reading through the comments so many people are quick to point out what is wrong with the kids or what the teachers aren't doing right. But not many people notice the things that are done right. The patience, positivity and passion these ladies have for teaching children is awesome.
It's easy to point your finger and say this person needs to do that, to spank, the parents suck, change their food, the walls need paint.... no
These teachers are doing great, every kid is different but they're all being themselves beautifully.
So glad you spoke up! I thought I was the only one, some of these comments are really negative. I wish there'd been this sort of help for my brother. I think these teachers are brilliant! Those gorgeous kids made so much progress!
Deborah Woods teachers are really special people. We just need to focus on the positives and continue to do what works instead of always pointing out the negatives and things will continue to improve.
Autumnn Wind sorry I wish it weren't like that for him.
Currline s I agree!
You make a good point here. The people who think they know what needs to be done for these kids forget that they don't know the parents or even the kids themselves personally and that they simply have no right to make that judgment. Also, the teachers at this school seem to know what they're doing. They're patient, gentle, and they use positive reinforcement, and it seems to work.
That teacher deserves an award and a fat grant for all she's done. Truly inspirational
She deserves a HUGE BONUS on her paychecks!!
I work with kids like this every day. I'm underpaid and overworked but wouldn't change what I do for the world
Grace Cornelius so much respect for you
Thank you. I needed a class like this when I was a child. Have a lot of issues as an adult I am working on. Thank you for helping the kids. :)
Melly I appreciate that :)
Critter Lex :)
Grace Cornelius God bless you Dear 🤗😚
I've never witnessed such a high level of patience. She's outstanding.
Love how much these teachers truly care about their students.
Jason is spot on when he pretends he's drunk. He's obviously seen a lot of it.
God bless that teacher. She has the patience of a saint.
K Earl so sad. Plus his Mom admitted she lost her children for awhile due to being an alcoholic. :(
Also wondered if he'd witnessed someone burying a body O_O
brilliant documentary, those staff working in the nurture room deserve some kind of reward, excellent teaching and standard of care
The true one's who really care, don't expect no reward. However, i think they should be regionized.
That teacher is incredible at her job... Calm, experienced, amazing use of language to really make the children glow with pride. So amazing to see the positive changes in the children.
I came across this documentary by accident, and I was really surprised to see Mrs Gabrith (hope I wrote her name right!) I 've met Mrs Gabrith for the first time at the beginning of this school year (2016). She is the assistant head master at the public school that my kids attend to. The are no words to describe this incredible woman! She is everywhere! She knows exactly what's happening at any time, knows each and every kid and their needs as well as their parents. We migrated recently to Scotland and I was really worried if my kids would have a good school.. After meeting her it was the last on my list to worry about. Wish all the teachers were like her..
Honestly I wish the teachers at my high school were like that- some of them were very nice and extremely patient but others just liked to shout at us - I did have a good high school experience don’t get me wrong but jeez some of the teachers just need to calm down and be more like Mrs Gabrith
That little boy who pretended being drunk literally broke my heart...
But look at Jason at the end! Awesome, much happier little kid now. His mom even stuck to her promises with the school. :)
@Lauren Evenden kid shouldn't know what being drunk looks like
Lauren Evenden wtf a child that young shouldn’t know exactly what being belligerently drunk looks like.....
@Lauren Evenden sure, it's possible. the much more likely scenario is he's grown up witnessing a lot of alcoholism. hence why he's having the behavioral problems. to say that he was 'perfectly happy messing around' is very naive too. children express things in all kinds of strange ways through their behaviour.
He’s re-enacting what he sees at home. Very sad.
all these kids seem so worried. I’m so glad they have such caring and intelligent teachers.
These teachers have changed these children's lives forever. I don't understand any negative comments regarding their efforts. Patience, boundaries, compassion, time, willingness... these things make the difference. I didn't think that their behavior was due to being on camera. These children were noticeably changed. They recognized the change in themselves! I hope this program is still being practiced. Children need them.

If we had more classes like this, we would have less serial killers, school shootings and dysfunctional adults.
B Butler I agree
Once someone is a psychopath, there's no going back, you can treat it but a psychopath is a psychopath for life, they'll never feel empathy. This could help but I've got a feeling it only helps about 20% in any long-term fashion. If you're able to pick up a weapon and go on a killing spree, you're a psychopath and as I said, you can't treat psychopathy...
Blunt Man not all school shooters are psychopaths. For that there is to many school shootings and not enough psychopathic students.
Blunt Man you can’t treat a psychopath you are born a psychopath
Blunt Man --BUT GOD CAN
(He is alive real & active.
This was a heart-warming documentary. I wish I had seen this when I was teaching. These teachers have wonderful skills managing poor behavior and changing it for the better. Well worth a watch for ALL teachers.
She has amazing patience and is very effective in her work. She deserves an award.
If only there were more people in teaching like this lady. She is there with all of her heart. It was so uplifting to see her at work and how much of a difference she has made to all of those kids.
I love watching documentaries. When I tell my friends this they're like, "what the hell?" Especially for my age. I'm sixteen. It's just something I enjoy. Getting to learn about different things in my free time it expands my knowledge. Also, I also have fun facts to tell my mom at the end of the day when she gets home from work.
TooLitToPolitic I have had similar experiences, but I'm 13
Good for you! What a special soul you have! :)
its much better than lots of the junk on tv.
Oh, stop it. A lot of 16 year olds don't watch documentarys and the fact that this young person enjoys learning is a big deal! I get teased for watching documentarys too and i am 34. People tease about a lot of things. Instead of laughing why not tell TooLit that she is smart and good on her for being herself and having a good relationship.
her choice has nothing to do with you "Handsoap" until you decided to comment, just like me commenting at you, I could have just read your "negative" remark and just shook my head.....
When they give the mum a certificate I cried! Maybe an indication that she had troubles at school, just like her son. It’s all about positive reinforcement, not punishment.
I hope this teacher has a lot of children! We need more people like her in the world! What a doll!
kar jam I'm one of her children lol thanks
+Grant
Do you know Jordyn? I would like to know how she is doing now. Is she happy? She touched my heart in this documentary. 💛
+Grant
PS Your Mum is amazing! I wish I had a teacher like her when I was in Primary School.
Sharon G thanks very much ! yeah so do I do be honest lol unfortunately Jordyn is in a young offenders institution now her and her friends got charged with an attempt murder.
+Grant
Thank you so much. Oh! How sad that is to hear about Jordyn. Your Mum is probably one of, if not the best, people Jordyn ever had in her life. The area that the school is in looks like a rough place for a child to grow up in, and there are so many factors that come into play with what happens when kids become teens. I'm not condoning her crime if she is guilty, but how very sad to hear. I thank you for your reply, Grant.
Angels do exist and they work in the nurture room.
I love the concept of the quiet room, they should have one in every school!
Samson as someone with sensory issues I defenitly agree! :D
This is amazing to see how patient she is with kids that have behaviour issues and take her trying to understand the different issues for each child I think this is absolutely amazing she deserves an award I wish there were more teachers like this
That blonde teacher who works in the nurture room is a goddamn saint.
Avalon Ressler thankyou! that's my mum lol
Grant that's cool
Loved her in this doc! :)
Avalon Ressler ohhh yea!,,
Avalon Ressler I want to be a mom like her..... what a shining example. :) Its really so sad how little it takes to change these kids lives. Kinda makes me view those unruly children having screaming meltdowns and tantrums in public.... with a lot more understanding and patience, abandoning previous judgement for their parents and them. I never thought about what would make them behave that way, but really it makes so much sense. Im super grateful for the videos and tools on youtube about this topic. Ive found them extreemly enlighting and useful. Although, I should hope the lady is a Godblessed saint. Hahaha! :)
When she said she was behaving like a toddler I wasn’t even ready for what was to come! The fact he thought it was perfectly okay to be crawling around and going in others things while the class was all sitting and learning was unreal to me. She is the most amazing teacher I’ve ever witnessed! Her patience level is massive. I was getting frustrated and mad just watching his behavior i couldn’t imagine dealing with it daily.
she seems like the nicest teacher in the world
plank because there's a camera , I crab assure you without the cameras no teacher is that patient
I really think she is that patient with or without the cameras. I think if she was being fake for the cameras, these particular kids would call her out for it.
These kids seem to really respond to her. I think if she was just acting this way for the cameras the kids wouldn't respond to her positively.
My sister in law is a teacher and she is really patient like this. I couldn't do it but am very glad there are teachers like this.
The counselors at my school (i'm a teacher) are EXCELLENT and VERY patient. It's what they go to school for. It's what they choose to do with their lives.
irk she's so sweet
I was very similar to him but I used to hit and spit at teacher
I would love to see a follow-up on these kids. They all did so well and the teacher's had so much love and respect for these children, they do amazing work each and everyday.
As someone who works for adults with disabilities/dual-diagnoses, AND childhood trauma, this concept seems much more helpful than ALL the experiences at "special schools" that I've heard. It's healthier for kids to be together, no matter their disability or behavioural issue, so long as they don't put their classmates in danger. Fostering more tolerance for non-neurotypical, and misunderstood kids by providing structure and expectations for schoolwork goals, but also a place to work out their issues which a trained teacher/aid for extra help before returning to class, seems great. Hard work, but great. I don't see the issue with providing safe spaces for these kids to "chill out" before returning to another class session. Even for neurotypical kids who are very emotionally distraught would benefit from it. If anything, they probably just need more educators for this type of educational model to be really effective.
What do you work as can I ask?
@@maysal2801 I work in social services
As a person with multiply disabilities we defo need to increase awareness.
it's all relative, for me this is far from inclusion, we'd rarely see stand alone classrooms anymore. and though i like some aspects fof the program, we'd never do things like calling out Jordyn in front of her peers.
The teachers in these nurture rooms are absolutely marvelous. They cannot be praised too highly for the incredible amount of effort and patience they put into their mission. I think many of these children will look back at their time their later in life and begin to understand. In the meantime, let me bow to you!
Wow! That teacher in the nurture room is literally an angel. She's amazing and I'm so happy those children have her
Those teachers are angels on earth! What a blessing for those kids.
seeing jamie grow made me teary eyed, these teachers are doing things right! positive reinforcement!
You can tell there are bad environments at home. Some show signs of poor nutrition which hugely affects their mental health and development. They have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. There are tell tell signs of abuse at home and parents not equipped to be good parents, due to their own problems.
Watched the whole program tonight, as a teacher myself I solute your patience, encouragement and endurance...not to mention the beautifully decorated classroom 💓
Amazing what love, kindness, and patience can do for a child❤️. That teacher loves every one of her students, you can see it in her eyes and the way she makes it seem they are the most important thing to her. Because they truly are
The main teacher is a lovely lady with the patience of Job! Bless her for working with these precious children and being so loving!
i grew up in the area around Royston and know a bunch of the kids who attended/still attend the primary school and i'm honestly so impressed with the way that teachers handle children with behavioural problems. i assume this documentary was filmed a number of years ago, but the school used to be (and arguably still is) so underfunded and the number of kids in the classrooms are far over the limit and i'm really glad that the school administrators still managed to create these sorts of facilities for the children, like the 'quiet room' and 'nurture room' etc - the teachers really seem to care about the kids.
also omg they went to m&ds for their school trip. classic Scottish kid memories!
mynameisnotmya do you know Jordyn? i would love to know how she got on and what she's doing now
@@becca1244 she's in young offenders unfortunately
I feel an emotional connection to Jamie....he's clearly dealing with a lot. I just wanna hug him..
Jason. Feel sorry for him :( he's seen a drunk in the home too many times.
As a highly sensitive person, I dont like being around a lot of people. Some of these children are for sure highly sensitive
im in the US and WISH id had a school like this when my son was little. So impressive! thank you to the teachers, those children are so blessed with the teachers kindness and commpassion!
That teacher is so kind and caring. She is so sweet, I wish I had the patience of her.
i like the fact that they recognized the parent's effort as well . Cause often times parents feel like a failure when they have children with behavoiural issues
These Teachers are GOD SENT. The love & patience they exhibit towards these difficult children is so amazing. I hope the children's parents follow through at home with the same consistency & are appreciative of these wonderful Teachers. All I keep thinking is how exhausted they must be bu the end of every day. Phew!
Wow! What a woman! She is the ULTIMATE teacher! Parents need to be like her: patient, knowledgable, compassionate, creative, loving, encouraging, supportive...amazing really. I wish I had her as a teacher. The whole world, every country needs a place and teachers like this.
that blonde woman is lovely.. I wish she'd been in my school, I found school very difficult due to bullying and abuse from my parents, I think she would have helped me a lot
MissSindorei sorry to hear that! But it seems you are good Person!
this was a fantastic unjudgemental documentary. it made me sad to read the comments judging children's home lives and families- a child can still have low self esteem or ADHD with all the love in the world. If we take the view that the child comes from a "bad" family we're writing that child off before they've even begun. the staff (not just in this film) are wonderful. The mum who was talking about her child and wanting a fresh start- she clearly loves her children but do we know what childhood or what struggles she's had? Nature Rooms are wonderful - as they said if they can help the children with social and emotional skills as early as they can it help reduce problems later on.
Thank you. It's exactly what my kid is going through right now. She is in the nurture room. I think my child's problem is, too much attention from me, that she never wanted to go to school, she wanted to stay home with me. If I had the brains I would have home schooled her, but I also wanted her to have a social life too, make friends. Her big sister was her best friend for a long time, but after a while at school she made more friends. xx
glad she is happy at school. with free online programmes and outside groups, you can home school your child and learn alongside. just remember this for high school!
I wish more recognition could be given to these teachers who go over and above and display such compassion and understanding of these children. These are lifes real celebrity's.
When they started talking to Jason's mother that was very telling. I remember when I was young the worst and most misbehaved students had the most poorly adjusted unstable parents. Every teacher I've ever dealt with made the dangerous and tunnel visioned assumption that every single child has two well rounded well adjusted parents at home. This couldn't be further from the truth. 'Cracking down' on these children, which is the simplest thing to do, will make the situation worse. Really look at Jason. His mom was such a drunk he had to be taken away. I don't want to know the horrors he had to face as a small child.
Miss Moxie yep and even the fact that 40% of humans r truly dumb as can be
Miss Moxie well here's to Jason's mom may she only continue to go upward and have positive reinforcement. I wish and pray for Jason and his mom may they they have a fighting chance at a bit of happiness. And looking at this video I think it was all about the teachers and their approach. Well done ,well done, well done teachers!
Miss Moxie
It's not always both parents I had two sons acting out in school they were loved and treasured 24 hours a day problem was there father was an abuser loonatic who called everyday stood on the street and taught my
Sons to do wrong despis including tell them don't attend school do everything opposite to what she says in my
Situation pack of loonatic s thought I was the issue it has taken 2o years for the truth to come out and be seen by my
Sons and I certainly wasn't the problem
She looks like she is too old to have a child this age. Maybe her grandchild.
Alcohol is very aging, but she had quick. She was looking better by the end, which means her health was improving. I was so happy for her and her lovely boy, Jason.
I’m totally moved by this innovative approach to help nurture those children that need a little extra help to settle in to their school role
The dedication and professionalism shown by the teacher is truly amazing
I’ was a teacher for 25 years and I relate to how proud she is of her achievements with these young children
It’s a wonderful feeling when you see the children flourish and it’s obvious that she has enabled these children to become valued members of society as evert child matters
the lady teacher is SO great. she handles him so so well
I am having to have these conversations and teach these lessons with my 12 year old students. My admiration for these teachers is beyond words, I’m glad I watched this! Helps me with my practice
this woman is amazing. Ive worked in ED and BD classrooms and it is the most emotionally draining frustrating and exhausting job i can imagine. May God reward her
What a fantastic teacher. These children will remember her forever, regardless of what happens in their lives.
she’s an amazing woman, she’s doing these kids such a kind thing
Awesome teachers. In the 50's through 60's in my elementary, children were lined up in school and moved to each classroom where they were humiliated in front of a whole class and then hit with a paddle. It was quite brutal for all the children. Especially for those children who had to watch and put in fear all the time.
The patience, resilience and determination the teachers show though out is admirable and so touching. I grew up when you couldn’t talk back let alone have a tantudrum and thought that was probably the right way..this documentary has changed my mind
These are wonderful teachers. Such patience, acceptance, love...... enough to literally change a child's life. Bravo Teachers!!!!
the little boy that played:"I am drunk" we can guess what's going on in his family
willshedo My dad made root beer in beer bottles. I'd pretend it was beer and stagger around the front yard with beer bottle. Yep my dad was an alcoholic.
Really? Just because he played drunk? I don't think so There are televisions, computers with the internet and You tube.He could have saw that anywhere.
I'm 60 no internet no Utube. We had small black and white tv with only5 tv stations. My father was a mean alcoholic. He was a dreadful man.
Vickie Ballard I think sometimes it’s best to be safe.

This teacher is just absolutely phenomenal. I've never seen anything like this before.
i APPRECIATED HOW THEY INCLUDED THE MOM OF ONE OF THE CHILDREN. HOW SHE, TOO ,WAS RECOGNIZED. HER REACTION WAS HEART WARMING, PRECIOUS. THOSE WHO WORK WITH THE CHILDREN , DESERVE TO BE HONORED.
God bless these patient, long-suffering teachers. Their job looks exhausting, but very rewarding.
These teachers do an absolutely incredible job, they are fantastic. They change lives. They change the whole lives of the children, but of their families as well and all the people around them. I am so impressed!
The teachers working with these children are amazing, they truly see the kids as amazing young people with a ton of potential. As a Mom of an autistic boy, teachers like this are a godsend. Thank you to all the teachers who see the child behind the behaviour and stay calm and consistent to help them.
I've cried countless times during this. I've always wanted to be a teacher but this just inspires me so much. These teachers are wonderful.
I was so happy to see how much these three kids improved. They all became so much happier, and the happiness on their faces when they got praised was amazing. These schools are incredible.
Couldn't stop my tears by the end.
God bless these teachers and these kids. ❤️
I wish every child in need had such people around them. 😊
Teachers are so underpaid.
Hiii
On the other hand, a lot of them have no business being teachers, and some are far overpaid
@@TheJumperYT true
@@TheJumperYT true, some don't get how important it is to be a teacher and potentially ruin a whole generation of kids
Teachers are bad they are ok with the abuse they do for a job.
Mrs McGregor is an absolute hero, she's so kind, patient and resourceful just like the rest of the Nurture Room staff
Should also add, this documentary inspire me to train for the job I do now, because these women are incredible and if I'm half the professional they are I'll consider it a success
My late mom in law used to be a teacher, a long time ago, before the concept of "nurture rooms". They sent her all the "difficult" children - those who, in today's world, would have been put on Ritalin. She managed to calm those terrors down, and get them to accept order and structure in their world. She always said that the children's behaviour was like a film of what is happening at home. Some poor children have no alternative than turning out as terrors. (BTW, I have no problem with kids taking medication, as long as you know it is not a problem being caused by inept parents.) I have the GREATEST respect for the teachers in this programme.
This is so much better than made up stories being filmed. So pure content. Thank you. 💖
Marice Ogrimen truee
Marice Ogrimen yes...stuff like this should be made into reality T.V. rather than the Kardashian witches talking about themselves for an hour
exactly :) xx
Barbi Button 😂👊
This teacher really cares. I feel sorry for the bad start in life that many of these kids are dealt.
The way Jason's mom reacted to receiving that certificate was so touching.
These Teachers, no- *SAINTS;* give these children the love, patience, and compassion that their parents won't or can't.
From the wider society who will be impacted by them for generations *THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!*
That teacher is the most lovely patient teacher, we need more like her in all schoolsl
That lady is so so so lovely. I wish I could meet her. what an inspiration she is.
This series inspired me to improve my sensory spaces using some of the same resources used in the sensory room featured. I will refer back to this series when I need ideas and encouragement with my children. Really valuable.
This teacher is an absolute saint and the kids are so lucky to have her.
shes 'just' doing what the patents should have done throughout the years ... this kids cant cope the curriculum, the need that emotional nurturing you give them. It's a fantastic idea. Terrific job
Right, but I done that with my child. She was by my side 24/7 I kid you not. I don't go out and drink, I don't have a fun time out with pals, I stay home with my children. My child had to go into the nurture room because classroom scared her. All those people. She was not emotionally or mentally ready to sit still and do some numbers and alphabet at 4 and half years old. In fact I have personally noticed, not many children at that age are ready. My son was the same. But my other 2 daughters who went into school at 5 and half years old, were more than ready emotionally to cope with the classroom. That is what is bugging me about these ill thought out comments. Yours is tame in comparison to the others.
The nurture room and the staff are absolutely fantastic with them. It's more like home school I would say, but within school grounds where there are others to socialise with. I would have home schooled my child if I had the brains to do so. But I don't. There are plenty of reasons why many of these children are in nurture room. Dad has left home to go overseas for work, the family has broken down because parents split, Sensory issues i.e on the autistic spectrum, Older children within the home and their needs. Getting the balance right is very difficult. It's not just abused/neglected children who need the nurture room. Not one parent can say they have it 100%, but it seems by some comments on here, that they expect that or take the kids away. Sad :(
oisha sha dos This angel without wings gives Jamie the hug that Mama should have given him before school. My heart breaks for him. That teacher is gentle yet firm.
An outstanding thing about these educators is that the focus on providing what is best for their students. I don't hear them blaming and shaming the parents, other teachers, or the children. They simply address the problem, treat the children with respect and proper attention, and have reasonable expectations for them.
This teacher is an angel! Incredible ,she has so much love for these children. She really makes this world a better place. Thank you
Ladies, you have my utmost respect for the time and effort you've put into these kids.
The more training you get with ACE's and childhood trauma you realize how many of these kids needed extra support, my heart breaks
That lady is doing a great job. Much respect.
This little boy travels through different universal dimensions. With the right environment and pure love he will be able to accomplish great things 🌈🌹
I am absolutely amazed and got so excited watching this documentary . It's so wonderful to see these fantastic , patient teachers providing positive reinforcement even when the child was unable to respond in the beginning in the " the nurture room " . It was fantastic to watch from beginning to end and experience all the behavior changes not only with this group of beautiful, smart children but also the importance of including the parents . This brought tears of joy to my eyes . Thank you so much for sharing , We need more incredible teachers in the world .
That teacher says some just brilliant things. Those kids are very lucky!
@28:20 That one kid kept talking abt Jail, Death, Buried dead bodies ... i'm i the only one who thought he's seen or heard too much.
Mwamba Simon Kapss you are not the only one.. I feel like some of them are being sexually abused 😳
Mwamba Simon Kapss i Think so too! abused ,many of them! Poor unloved Children,no child Should be born without being loved! a family lisence,thats what we need!
I know i felt bad especially for the older girl, all she was lacking was more interaction and love from people around her.
Mwamba Simon Kapss I think that's the point they made of showing that :( very sad. Unfortunately, while I'm sure they're aware of these children's living situation, influences or experiences, there's likely not much they can do to change that. Instead the focus is on changing how they've learnt to deal with emotions into a more constructive one, and made school a positive environment they look forwards to. If they live in a scary area, or don't have permanent housing, or miss their parents - it must feel great for school to be a respite from all that.
people often don't realize that trauma doesn't have to be physical to permanently damage a child. I worked for years with children with severe behavior disorders and only one of them was ever physically abused, and he was by far the easiest to manage. the emotional damage is so much deeper and harder to address.
Verbal praise and encouragement goes a long way with kids and really everyone. I’m a nanny and it works wonders with my kiddos I watch
You are amazing teachers. Worth what no man can pay and will be rewarded in eternity. Keep up the good work as people like you can change the world! My heart is touched.
As an educator, it is so encouraging to see the staff communicating with parents. There must be a team approach will all children. Adults need to tear down any existing guilt or shame for their children's behaviors. Even getting parents to stop in a parent's lounge for morning coffee, tea, and cookies, get them into the school in order to make them focused on educational goals and to work as a team for student improvement. Well done!
I need her by my side on Monday to get up for work.
Five Dee I need her everyday 😢. She an angel on earth
woman. LMAO
that lady is something else, she warms my heart
Right. Persistent!
Five Dee 😂
This classroom is amazing. Kudos to the teachers for seeing that these kids need love and boundaries, not labels and discipline.
whatever these teachers are being paid, its not nearly enough. They're gonna require psychiatric help of their own after a year of this! god bless' em!
ToyTube TVT you do know the teachers aren't conscripted and choose to do.the work?
ToyTube TVT supply teachers because they work less than normal teacher earn less even though they are more educated. Teachers don't make tons
+georgina cat You obviously don't realize it, but your snide remark serves only to strengthen the argument that teachers such as those shown here are unconscionably underpaid. By reminding us that they've chosen this profession regardless of this fact, you've further underscored their value to society while also pointing out their selflessness. Thank you!
Salice McCool as someone who does not believe in altruism i do not agree that these teachers get nothing from their work and are selfless.
i work in the caring profession and its only been the last 4 years out of 20 that i received a good wage for it.
i also chose to do this work for a low income and with lots of heartache and hassle i would not have experienced in other professions.
i still chose to go and i received back far more than monetary gain.
the remark was not snidey. it was factual.
the teachers get lots more than money from the job - more than those they teach.
Jason is an unbelievable child who met an unbelievable teacher and together they completely changed his direction in life. This documentary was outstanding. Anyone who watches it will need tissues as it's a tear jerker but for all the right reasons.
This is how I raised my sisters, in the nuture room style. We had a terribly abusive father, my mother finally divorced him, but by that time that happened, and we were all safe from him (including my mother) the damage had been done. I found you have to be firm, but supportive, very supportive. Yet, you have to give them solid boundaries, a ton of love, and reassurance that its OK to talk about what's going on for them.
Often, children who "misbehave" are merely acting out whatever stress they are under. Addressing their needs takes a lot of effort to get results. I got certified as a children's counsellor, used that knowledge to help my sisters out. Worked with teachers, professionals, psychologists, to help identify what their issues were, and make a plan to be implemented across the board. Same in home life, school life, public life etc.
I also find that patronising children doesn't work. Reacting negatively does not help. But you do have to hold them accountable. The way to do that is to make it clear that disruptive behaviour will result in constructive discipline. Usually this is by omission in activities that they would otherwise have been involved in, that they enjoy. They need to learn that their behaviour won't be tolerated, but neither will it bring the negative attention that they are after by being disruptive.
You need to keep offering the option to be included in group activities, but only if they are willing to behave to the standards set out. In time, they learn that no matter what tantrums they try in whatever form, the result will be the same. They will do what they are told. The longer they mess about, or refuse, the more time they will lose in other activities. This helps them to realise that there is personal accountability.
You also have to know their personalities, and have a lot of patience. Explanation is key as well. Children don't always immediately understand why adults behave the way they do. You have to lead by example. Rewards are important as well, as is consistency. If a child knows that if they make enough fuss, you will give in and they get what they want as a reward without earning it, you're in for a possible world of trouble next time. Distraction and redirection are also essential: the child will want to lead you down their established path of behaviour, and make you react the way they expect. You must show them that this is not how it is going to go.
Respect is another thing. Remember that you are dealing with another person, it can be difficult to do when you have a class full of unruly kids. They have their own fears, likes, and other things. Kids aren't stupid, they will respond to your kindness, respect and clearly defined rules, although it may take time.
I think this is a wonderful program. If only many more school systems would incorporate these methods into their regular curriculum as a safety measure and alternative program. This woman is wonderful; a God sent, special for these children with problem behaviors. What i liked more than anything is her patience, then incorporating the children in one another's classrooms bringing together and not apart. The outcome of seeing the troubled children back into their classrooms was such a great success. Outstanding!!!!
Great documentary. These teachers are absolute gems! Their patience and kindness is incredible! If these kids watch this in the future, I hope they realize how lucky they were to have been under the care of these special people.
Little Jamie brought me to tears. Looked a little like one of my grandsons. He was so unhappy but all he needed was love!
It is amazing what patience, consistency, boundaries and kindness can achieve.
She's an angel. She needs to be teaching teachers
