Summary
In this episode of The Language of Behavior , Josh and Charle go solo to unpack one of the most important—and often overlooked—dynamics in schools: what happens to student behavior when adults are overwhelmed, fearful, exhausted, or unsupported? Using their upcoming NCMLE conference session as a springboard, Josh and Charle invite listeners to fill in the blank: "Student behavior usually escalates when adults feel ___."

From fear and powerlessness to exhaustion and a lack of administrative support, they explore how adult emotional states directly shape the climate in classrooms and schools. They also get personal, sharing stories from their own homes about missed buses, bedtime battles, and getting triggered by a tone shift—to remind us that we're all human, doing the best we can. And that awareness is the first step toward showing up differently. -- FREE The Language of Behavior Book Study Kit: https://thrivingeducator.myflodesk.com/lobbookstudy Do you have any questions for the podcast?
