I
Have a child hos ramped it up
Has to leave their classroom and you the paraprofessional has to take them out right? You have to take them to another location
oftentimes the child is asked to sit in a chair and sometimes we set a timer and
We say when your body is calm
We will
Assess whether you can get back to class
Well, first of all, the child doesn't want to go back to class so they don't care
That's why they so why would they remain calm?
the other is the minute you set a timer and an
Agitated body now has to show that they can sit properly in a chair and be quiet until that time is done
Before they can process is a losing battle
De-escalation
Happens first number one by allowing the body to get rid of agitation
So when you are asked to take that child or you have to take that child out of the classroom to another place
They should have some task to do
Whether it be push-ups
jumping jacks
Some sort of tool in their toolbox something that gets rid of the physical agitation
You and I both know that when I am agitated and upset if
I go and take a walk around the building and come back. I'm more readily available to take
Instruction to help me feel better
But if you ask me to sit still until the timer goes off it's not going to work
After the body has become less agitated
The second thing to teach them is just to be in the present
Now who you finished you got that Audi you got that your Wiggles out now
just sit for a moment and
just look at that picture on the wall of the beautiful setting of the sunset just look at it for a few minutes and
Just settle yourself just concentrate on the Sun
Then I can say let's problem-solve where we're at right now or where we were in the class
But you won't get there
without the other two components
