Teachers are teaching, and children are learning on a foundation of quicksand. Never have there been so many enormous changes within education, imposed in so short a time. Society has also changed hugely. Children seem to have too much power, and the adults in their world appear to lack the skills to claw it back. Dealing with challenge in the classroom or within the home and feeling ill-equipped to deal with it, is not an experience unique to the inept. It is a situation any of us can face at any time, irrespective of age and experience. Essential to securing the best outcomes for children and maintaining your own sanity comes the need to have the right tools for the job and the knowledge to know how and when to use them.
