Description

Death by a thousand papercuts.

If you’ve ever ended a school day feeling utterly drained by the tiny behaviours that chip away at your patience, this episode is for you. We're tackling low-level behaviours - the eye-rolls, the pencil taps, the incessant chattering - and unpacking why they're anything but low-impact.

You’ll hear:

💫 Why I don’t actually like the term 'low-level behaviours' and what we should be calling them instead

💫 How small behaviours send big signals about disconnection, disengagement, or overwhelm

💫 Three common myths that stop educators from responding to these behaviours effectively

💫 Practical strategies for responding without escalating or ignoring 

💫 Why proactive measures are invaluable for preserving your own energy whilst maintaining classroom culture and connection

If you’re sick of micromanaging every. little. behaviour. and want to build your toolkit, this episode is your starting point.
