Okay, so here’s the deal: these further traumatizing DARP: “default adulting” response patterns may seem like the easiest and most common solutions, BUT they won’t ever work with kids who are emotionally charged and explosive in the heat of the moment.

So, what’s the solution?

It is essential for the adult in the room to focus on understanding energetic resistance first and then addressing the root cause of the behavior.

That’s where Energetics comes in.

It is an easy to navigate system that helps you meaningfully connect with kids and work together to turn their energetic triggers stimulating emotional upsets around for the long term.

Energetics is for subject teachers who say, for example, “I teach math, not feelings,” but keep having to send dysregulated students to the office and then struggle to self-regulate to get back to teaching. 

Think of Energetics of Behavior as you and your learner working together to solve a mathematical story problem that you both love diving into. 

Energetics of Behavior is for principals, school counselors, and administrative leaders with a long line outside their offices every morning with the same kids day after day waiting to be assigned to do detention or suspension. 

Instead of listening to the same old “my dog died … again” excuses, simply say, “OK, you did what you did. Let’s do a Quickie Vibe Check-In right here, right now, before we do anything else!”

Energetics of Behavior is for the parent who feels like a bad parent because they keep getting called to the school and are always on their last nerve because of it.

Instead of feeling shame as you walk into the principal’s office, see it as your opportunity to shift the energy with all parties involved.

Unlike other solutions, my Top 3 Energy Hacks observes and assesses what preempted the behavior in order to adequately discern what’s really going on that must be addressed before planning anything.

The intention is to repetitiously empower all children by mapping it out and using life-affirmative language with them.  As with any basic learning requirement, be willing to teach them “how to” tap into their thoughts and resulting emotions as soon as they can, ultimately leading to long-lasting, sustainable solutions.

The Energetics of Behavior MasterClass is an evidence-based model of behavioral understanding that is trauma-informed and affirms neurodiversity. It helps adults focus on identifying and solving energetically triggered problems causing problematic behaviors in children.

My Energy Hacking is different from approaches that rely on hurting kids to modify behavior. It significantly improves behavior and reduces or eliminates time-outs, punishments, ignoring, discipline referrals, detentions, suspensions, restraints, seclusions, and exclusion.

The Energetics of Behavior’s 3 Energy Hacks are non-punitive, non-exclusionary, trauma-informed, and trans-cultural.
