Lesson Summary: Behaviors are Communication
Robbie Kinghorn explains that in schools, every behavior is a form of communication, whether a child is yelling, shutting down, or acting out, it signals something feels too big for them in that moment.
He encourages adults to shift from reacting to teaching by identifying the developmental skill a child may be missing and addressing it early through teamwork between parents and schools. By changing our mindset, we create long term support that helps children learn and grow rather than simply be disciplined.
