The video that I watched was "Wiring the Brain for Success" by
Dr. Becky Bailey.
Dr Bailey said that children have three states or systems in our
body (survival, emotional and executive).
She said that children will need to develop our frontal lobes so
we can set goals, achieve them, resolve conflicts, develop
empathy and see things from different perspectives. According to
Dr. Bailey we can do this by providing connections to children.
Children need connections with their school, their teachers and
their parents or caregivers because this will create the path
for self-control. When we have the "knowing" (executive) and the
"doing"(survival, emotional) closer together our life works much
better. This is possible by having the connections especially in
the early years of life (1-3 years old). Children and us need to
have self-regulation so when we are in the survival state we can
own our own upset. We need to recognize when we are getting
upset and who is making us upset. If a child is making us upset
and we become really upset then the child is controlling our
upset. We will need to wire our brain so when we are upset, or
trigger in a low state, we can use our capacity to move out of
that state, back to the zone and solve the problem
straightening our frontal lobes to achieve our goals despite the
obstacles in life.

Carmen,
It's so interesting that Becky Bailey talks about connecting
with children in order to help develop their frontal lobe. I
feel like our community consists of many, many adults who are
unable to do the things that require the frontal lobe (goal
setting, conflict resolution, having empathy, etc). When
children are surrounded by adults who do not possess these
traits, it makes it that much more difficult for them to achieve
them.

I feel the same way, If student's can't use their inner voice
till they are about 7. It affects so much in their behavior and
attitude. That's why modeling the behavior repeatedly is so
important in these kids younger years. They need to see people
using inner thoughts instead of impulse, so that one day they
can be able to do the same when it develops. But even as adults
using your inner voice is a problem, and getting to that
executive state is hard. So how do we get all of our kids to
this executive state if everyone including Teachers are using
different parts of their brain. I swear it sounds amazing to
get to that point, but also seems impossible.
