To my many teacher friends. Thank you for all that you have done for our children. I am sorry that society has not rewarded you the way they should.

Do you know what ADHD, ODD, and Anxiety have in common?

Studies have shown that as a teacher, you will have at least three students in your class each year with one or more of these diagnoses – ADHD, ODD, or anxiety.

These students -
• struggle with issues related to handling change or transitions
• often fail at self-regulating their emotions
• are weak at self-monitoring their behavior
• are lost at knowing how to use their senses in cognitive processing/learning

These issues can disrupt your classroom. Behavioral management that focuses on stopping their behavior has mixed results.

These mixed results are because the problem behaviors or noncompliance are not entirely intentional.

The students feel diminished, unworthy, and unheard when they receive negative consequences for matters that they think they should receive help for instead.

Of course, you feel overwhelmed with the mission to meet each of their needs while still being there for the rest of the class.

And yet, there may be a way to meet their needs through a combined approach to their common factors.

Enter temperament.

When looking at the nine temperament traits, there are four that they each have at a more stressful level.
These temperament traits are –

• Rhythmicity
• Adaptability
• Basic mood
• Persistence

These inborn traits of emotional and behavioral response occur along a spectrum. Those at exceptionally high or low levels are more likely to create stress for the student and you.

Hard-wired at birth, children can’t just switch their traits on and off.

The person with extremes of these traits requires others, like you, to invest time to understand how the trait creates noncompliance, misbehavior, or learning issues.

With this understanding, you can develop strategies for the child to learn to manage their behavioral and emotional responses.

Do you already have this knowledge?

Probably not.

Temperament is not typically taught in-depth in teacher preparation courses. It is also not used often in developing behavioral management plans.

Hi, I ‘m Dr. Patricia McGuire.
I am a developmental and behavioral pediatrician with over 30 years of experience working with these students while also providing training to educators such as yourself.

Through PESI, Inc., I created a full-day seminar entitled
Temperament-Based Interventions: Treating ODD, ADHD & Anxiety in Children and Adolescents.

I presented this seminar around the US. But maybe you weren’t able to come.

There is good news, however. PESI recorded my seminar and is offering it through their site.

Check out the objectives to see what will be covered.
Objectives:
1. Utilize the temperament profile to understand where the child needs skill development.
2. Incorporate social-emotional and behavioral control strategies to treat ODD behaviors.
3. Demonstrate rhythmicity and persistence strategies to develop organization and working memory in children with ADHD.
4. Integrate adaptability and persistence strategies to improve impulsivity and self-monitoring struggles.
5. Develop the skills needed for adaptability to curb anxiety responses.
6. Select and implement language strategies to regulate emotional behavior.

For an additional fee, you can also purchase the CE you need since PESI is a national continuing education company.

Click the link to go to the PESI site and purchase this valuable course. You will find that temperament is a hidden factor interfering with your success in managing these students.

The good news is that as these students notice your change in approach to them (still holding them accountable for their actions but modifying your response, they will become more engaged.

Get started now. The strategies and tools will become your new go-to for working with these children.

What do you understand about rhythmicity? It is a temperament trait that is involved with your ability to plan and organize, as well as recognize and utilize sequences and patterns. Check out this article to learn more.

Your child's internal clock (rhythmicity) controls sleep, hunger, ability to feel time move, and organization. When it is off, so is your life.

For those who are friends with me on my other account, Pat McGuire, it has been suspended by Facebook. It appears that last night someone, from Viet Nam according to activity logs, was able to get in even though they had the wrong email address and didn't get the verification code. They then put some info on Instagram that violated policies.

I am trying to get ahold of a real person at Facebook to get my account back. Time to add extra security to my account.

Over 1/2 of children with ADHD also have other learning problems that may not have been identified yet, or may not reach a level of trouble to allow extra services.

But, extra diagnoses or not, understanding how to know why the student struggles and having ideas of how to help are important to the child and parents.

There are still 8 states that refuse to recognize dyslexia, leading to underserved and mentally stressed students.

The “IQ-discrepancy model”—diagnosing students with dyslexia by determining if they have an “unexpected” gap between their IQ and their reading scores—has long been deemed an invalid way of screening for the disorder. Yet, it still persists in education, meaning many students are not get...

hey I would like to thank Everyone for telling me how to do the bypass. I wondered where everybody had been!
This is good to know: It's ridiculous to have over 540 friends and only 25 are allowed to see my post.
It WORKS!! I have a whole new news feed. I’m seeing posts from people I haven’t seen in years.
Here’s how to bypass the system FB now has in place that limits posts on your news feed.
Their new algorithm chooses the same few people - about 25 - who will read your posts. Therefore,
Hold your finger down anywhere in this post and "copy" will pop up. Click "copy". Then go your page, start a new post and put your finger anywhere in the blank field. "Paste" will pop up and click paste.
This will bypass the system.
If you are reading this message, do me a favor and leave me a quick comment...a "hello," a sticker, whatever you want, so you will appear in my newsfeed‼️

Children learn the more that they can access the written word. But sometimes their reading skills are behind their understanding skills.
