A coffee morning event was held at school with the theme of "Behaviour as Communication".
The focus of the discussion was on effective strategies to support children in recognising, understanding and managing their emotions, including the use of Emotion Coaching. This evidence based approach is used at Russell and has been shared widely with parents, so that parents and staff use a common language with the children.
The presentation slides are attached below.
Additionally, a document was shared with parents for recording/monitoring patterns in behaviour. The ABC table is attached below. An accompanying document "Behaviour Management at Home" is also attached.
