BIG Ideas in small Windows

In this episode, Mike refers to studies, stories and strategies, to help kids, teachers and families support children in reaching for success. Specific strategies include using "coffeehouse chatter" to increase student focus, therapeutic breathing techniques to reduce anxiety, and story therapy to get kids to believe in themselves! Mike refers to a longitudinal study that is little known yet has remarkable implications, conducted by researcher Emmy Werner on 3 protective factors we can give kids. He shares how small wins can help children and references an article. Mike includes a resource for using both coffee talk and therapeutic breathing. He concludes with the power of story therapy, and ideas on how to implement it right in the classroom. These and many other ideas are in Mike's latest book, a very timely guide for educators, students and families called Leading Schools Through Trauma. Finally, Mike has a very special guest coming up, "Diamond Dallas Page," (DDP), who talks with Mike about how he used strategies to overcome his dyslexia and achieve remarkable success, something to inspire all of us when we need it most!
