Sometimes the hardest thing to change in behavior support is the adult’s need for control.
After years of working with students, she recognized that her own thinking had once been deeply rooted in traditional approaches. Changing that mindset meant questioning what she had always believed behavior management was supposed to look like.
And underneath that can be fear: If I can’t control my classroom, will people think I’m not a good teacher?
Supporting behavior doesn’t have to mean controlling every behavior. Sometimes better practice begins when we move away from power struggles and focus instead on understanding what the student needs to be successful.
