Traditional discipline practices are not working for the kids that need our help the most. In these challenging times, more children have been exposed to trauma and may arrive in your classroom with their brains in survival mode. In Connections Over Compliance, Dr. Lori Desautels focuses on how we can use neuroscience to help dysregulated children feel safe, heard, seen, and felt. Desautels demonstrates that through strong relationships and co-regulation we can support sustainable behavioral changes, not just short-term compliance or obedience. We can and must do better and this book leads the way.
