A table top with a selection of Lego pieces on it. On the table is a board with the letters of the alphabet. Each letters has been assigned a specific Lego piece. There is also a board with a secret message written in Lego pieces. Some young people are working to decode this message. Other spy training challenge cards also lie on the table.

Why Every Student Needs to Learn Emotional Regulation When students learn emotional regulation, behaviour improves, learning thrives, and classrooms become calmer. How teachers can support this vital skill.

Our latest blog explores why it matters and how teachers can embed it in the classroom.

A black iphone sits on a white background. On the screen is the word anxiety in spiky black capital letters on a bright pink background.

It’s not skipping school. It’s anxiety.

For some kids, school is too much: too loud, too fast, too overwhelming. It’s not about attitude; it’s about fear.

Maybe the problem isn’t the child. Maybe it’s the system. 💙
