GodisNOT NOTDead this is how all people that work with children should be all over the world. It sure would be a much nicer place as a whole to live in. I have a child who suffers from ADD & anxiety. although I feel she has grown alot over the years, certain situations that arise in school were & can still be the main triggers for her. Also, my youngest child, who is now 10, is the sweetest, incredibly helpful, loving & we'll behaved boy. Unfortunately, he has almost always had difficulty in the school environment. He becomes easily agitated & shuts down. He has refused to do or pay attention to school work because he'd be so hard on himself & believe it was just simply too difficult. We have had our fair share of teachers that have been understanding & patient. We've also had some that have had no clue how to handle it especially when he'd have an outburst after being pushed to the breaking point. Teachers like the woman in this documentary would have saved my younger 2 from years of stress & frustration. These type of people are what my son responds well too. Luckily we have come by a few that are that loving & wonderful.
Vanessa Noel ich ziehe meinen Hut vor solchen Leuten! Respekt! Diese verstörten Kinder kommen alle aus verstörten Familien anderseits keine Erklärung fuer mich! Kinder die in normalen liebevollen Familien aufwachsen,sind nicht gestört! Kinder brauchen liebe und alle Aufmerksamkeit die sie nötig haben,sonst werden sie eben so verstört!
Alynn Herschell I was researching things for our family and I just read this article that might help your family. It's called Herbal Medicine Treats Children With Learning and Behavioral Problems by Case Adams.
natural diet is everything even beteter organic. diets are depleted and kids are malnourished being filled with toxic processed frozen, canned foods. Diets make massive change in kids with behavioural issues.
So cute when the little boy was showing the cameraman around. These kids aren't bad they just need more patience and love. Well done to these teachers! This was great :-)
Amen , they just had it hard in someway or another in their young life , it’s heartbreaking so MENY little ones are born and not loved , cared for , enough , disaplented in a loving way , there dammed from the beginning of there innocent pure life as a baby ,
Wee Jason was an absolute sweetheart! The difference in his behaviour over time - the behaviour of all the featured children, in fact - was nothing short of remarkable. It was also incredible how they went from being unable to control their own behaviour and emotions to actually being able to analyse and discuss their progress in a really articulate way. It’s an awesome program, for sure.
@Lauren Evenden sure, it's possible. the much more likely scenario is he's grown up witnessing a lot of alcoholism. hence why he's having the behavioral problems. to say that he was 'perfectly happy messing around' is very naive too. children express things in all kinds of strange ways through their behaviour.
I came across this documentary by accident, and I was really surprised to see Mrs Gabrith (hope I wrote her name right!) I 've met Mrs Gabrith for the first time at the beginning of this school year (2016). She is the assistant head master at the public school that my kids attend to. The are no words to describe this incredible woman! She is everywhere! She knows exactly what's happening at any time, knows each and every kid and their needs as well as their parents. We migrated recently to Scotland and I was really worried if my kids would have a good school.. After meeting her it was the last on my list to worry about. Wish all the teachers were like her..
Honestly I wish the teachers at my high school were like that- some of them were very nice and extremely patient but others just liked to shout at us - I did have a good high school experience don’t get me wrong but jeez some of the teachers just need to calm down and be more like Mrs Gabrith
The blonde woman is an absolute angel! Just listening to her voice is a very calming and uplifting experience. It's quite evident that her love and compassion has really turned around her students' lives.
Reading through the comments so many people are quick to point out what is wrong with the kids or what the teachers aren't doing right. But not many people notice the things that are done right. The patience, positivity and passion these ladies have for teaching children is awesome. It's easy to point your finger and say this person needs to do that, to spank, the parents suck, change their food, the walls need paint.... no These teachers are doing great, every kid is different but they're all being themselves beautifully.
So glad you spoke up! I thought I was the only one, some of these comments are really negative. I wish there'd been this sort of help for my brother. I think these teachers are brilliant! Those gorgeous kids made so much progress!
Deborah Woods teachers are really special people. We just need to focus on the positives and continue to do what works instead of always pointing out the negatives and things will continue to improve.
You make a good point here. The people who think they know what needs to be done for these kids forget that they don't know the parents or even the kids themselves personally and that they simply have no right to make that judgment. Also, the teachers at this school seem to know what they're doing. They're patient, gentle, and they use positive reinforcement, and it seems to work.
When they give the mum a certificate I cried! Maybe an indication that she had troubles at school, just like her son. It’s all about positive reinforcement, not punishment.
As someone who works for adults with disabilities/dual-diagnoses, AND childhood trauma, this concept seems much more helpful than ALL the experiences at "special schools" that I've heard. It's healthier for kids to be together, no matter their disability or behavioural issue, so long as they don't put their classmates in danger. Fostering more tolerance for non-neurotypical, and misunderstood kids by providing structure and expectations for schoolwork goals, but also a place to work out their issues which a trained teacher/aid for extra help before returning to class, seems great. Hard work, but great. I don't see the issue with providing safe spaces for these kids to "chill out" before returning to another class session. Even for neurotypical kids who are very emotionally distraught would benefit from it. If anything, they probably just need more educators for this type of educational model to be really effective.
it's all relative, for me this is far from inclusion, we'd rarely see stand alone classrooms anymore. and though i like some aspects fof the program, we'd never do things like calling out Jordyn in front of her peers.
That teacher is incredible at her job... Calm, experienced, amazing use of language to really make the children glow with pride. So amazing to see the positive changes in the children.
If only there were more people in teaching like this lady. She is there with all of her heart. It was so uplifting to see her at work and how much of a difference she has made to all of those kids.
Avalon Ressler I want to be a mom like her..... what a shining example. :) Its really so sad how little it takes to change these kids lives. Kinda makes me view those unruly children having screaming meltdowns and tantrums in public.... with a lot more understanding and patience, abandoning previous judgement for their parents and them. I never thought about what would make them behave that way, but really it makes so much sense. Im super grateful for the videos and tools on youtube about this topic. Ive found them extreemly enlighting and useful. Although, I should hope the lady is a Godblessed saint. Hahaha! :)
I would love to see a follow-up on these kids. They all did so well and the teacher's had so much love and respect for these children, they do amazing work each and everyday.
i grew up in the area around Royston and know a bunch of the kids who attended/still attend the primary school and i'm honestly so impressed with the way that teachers handle children with behavioural problems. i assume this documentary was filmed a number of years ago, but the school used to be (and arguably still is) so underfunded and the number of kids in the classrooms are far over the limit and i'm really glad that the school administrators still managed to create these sorts of facilities for the children, like the 'quiet room' and 'nurture room' etc - the teachers really seem to care about the kids.
When she said she was behaving like a toddler I wasn’t even ready for what was to come! The fact he thought it was perfectly okay to be crawling around and going in others things while the class was all sitting and learning was unreal to me. She is the most amazing teacher I’ve ever witnessed! Her patience level is massive. I was getting frustrated and mad just watching his behavior i couldn’t imagine dealing with it daily.
Sharon G thanks very much ! yeah so do I do be honest lol unfortunately Jordyn is in a young offenders institution now her and her friends got charged with an attempt murder.
+Grant Thank you so much. Oh! How sad that is to hear about Jordyn. Your Mum is probably one of, if not the best, people Jordyn ever had in her life. The area that the school is in looks like a rough place for a child to grow up in, and there are so many factors that come into play with what happens when kids become teens. I'm not condoning her crime if she is guilty, but how very sad to hear. I thank you for your reply, Grant.
Once someone is a psychopath, there's no going back, you can treat it but a psychopath is a psychopath for life, they'll never feel empathy. This could help but I've got a feeling it only helps about 20% in any long-term fashion. If you're able to pick up a weapon and go on a killing spree, you're a psychopath and as I said, you can't treat psychopathy...
These teachers have changed these children's lives forever. I don't understand any negative comments regarding their efforts. Patience, boundaries, compassion, time, willingness... these things make the difference. I didn't think that their behavior was due to being on camera. These children were noticeably changed. They recognized the change in themselves! I hope this program is still being practiced. Children need them.
This is amazing to see how patient she is with kids that have behaviour issues and take her trying to understand the different issues for each child I think this is absolutely amazing she deserves an award I wish there were more teachers like this
I love watching documentaries. When I tell my friends this they're like, "what the hell?" Especially for my age. I'm sixteen. It's just something I enjoy. Getting to learn about different things in my free time it expands my knowledge. Also, I also have fun facts to tell my mom at the end of the day when she gets home from work.
Oh, stop it. A lot of 16 year olds don't watch documentarys and the fact that this young person enjoys learning is a big deal! I get teased for watching documentarys too and i am 34. People tease about a lot of things. Instead of laughing why not tell TooLit that she is smart and good on her for being herself and having a good relationship.
her choice has nothing to do with you "Handsoap" until you decided to comment, just like me commenting at you, I could have just read your "negative" remark and just shook my head.....
This was a heart-warming documentary. I wish I had seen this when I was teaching. These teachers have wonderful skills managing poor behavior and changing it for the better. Well worth a watch for ALL teachers.
You can tell there are bad environments at home. Some show signs of poor nutrition which hugely affects their mental health and development. They have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. There are tell tell signs of abuse at home and parents not equipped to be good parents, due to their own problems.
The teachers in these nurture rooms are absolutely marvelous. They cannot be praised too highly for the incredible amount of effort and patience they put into their mission. I think many of these children will look back at their time their later in life and begin to understand. In the meantime, let me bow to you!
i like the fact that they recognized the parent's effort as well . Cause often times parents feel like a failure when they have children with behavoiural issues
When they started talking to Jason's mother that was very telling. I remember when I was young the worst and most misbehaved students had the most poorly adjusted unstable parents. Every teacher I've ever dealt with made the dangerous and tunnel visioned assumption that every single child has two well rounded well adjusted parents at home. This couldn't be further from the truth. 'Cracking down' on these children, which is the simplest thing to do, will make the situation worse. Really look at Jason. His mom was such a drunk he had to be taken away. I don't want to know the horrors he had to face as a small child.
Miss Moxie well here's to Jason's mom may she only continue to go upward and have positive reinforcement. I wish and pray for Jason and his mom may they they have a fighting chance at a bit of happiness. And looking at this video I think it was all about the teachers and their approach. Well done ,well done, well done teachers!
Miss Moxie It's not always both parents I had two sons acting out in school they were loved and treasured 24 hours a day problem was there father was an abuser loonatic who called everyday stood on the street and taught my Sons to do wrong despis including tell them don't attend school do everything opposite to what she says in my Situation pack of loonatic s thought I was the issue it has taken 2o years for the truth to come out and be seen by my Sons and I certainly wasn't the problem
Alcohol is very aging, but she had quick. She was looking better by the end, which means her health was improving. I was so happy for her and her lovely boy, Jason.
Watched the whole program tonight, as a teacher myself I solute your patience, encouragement and endurance...not to mention the beautifully decorated classroom 💓
I really think she is that patient with or without the cameras. I think if she was being fake for the cameras, these particular kids would call her out for it. These kids seem to really respond to her. I think if she was just acting this way for the cameras the kids wouldn't respond to her positively. My sister in law is a teacher and she is really patient like this. I couldn't do it but am very glad there are teachers like this.
The counselors at my school (i'm a teacher) are EXCELLENT and VERY patient. It's what they go to school for. It's what they choose to do with their lives.
im in the US and WISH id had a school like this when my son was little. So impressive! thank you to the teachers, those children are so blessed with the teachers kindness and commpassion!
Amazing what love, kindness, and patience can do for a child❤️. That teacher loves every one of her students, you can see it in her eyes and the way she makes it seem they are the most important thing to her. Because they truly are
I am having to have these conversations and teach these lessons with my 12 year old students. My admiration for these teachers is beyond words, I’m glad I watched this! Helps me with my practice
My late mom in law used to be a teacher, a long time ago, before the concept of "nurture rooms". They sent her all the "difficult" children - those who, in today's world, would have been put on Ritalin. She managed to calm those terrors down, and get them to accept order and structure in their world. She always said that the children's behaviour was like a film of what is happening at home. Some poor children have no alternative than turning out as terrors. (BTW, I have no problem with kids taking medication, as long as you know it is not a problem being caused by inept parents.) I have the GREATEST respect for the teachers in this programme.
This is how I raised my sisters, in the nuture room style. We had a terribly abusive father, my mother finally divorced him, but by that time that happened, and we were all safe from him (including my mother) the damage had been done. I found you have to be firm, but supportive, very supportive. Yet, you have to give them solid boundaries, a ton of love, and reassurance that its OK to talk about what's going on for them. Often, children who "misbehave" are merely acting out whatever stress they are under. Addressing their needs takes a lot of effort to get results. I got certified as a children's counsellor, used that knowledge to help my sisters out. Worked with teachers, professionals, psychologists, to help identify what their issues were, and make a plan to be implemented across the board. Same in home life, school life, public life etc. I also find that patronising children doesn't work. Reacting negatively does not help. But you do have to hold them accountable. The way to do that is to make it clear that disruptive behaviour will result in constructive discipline. Usually this is by omission in activities that they would otherwise have been involved in, that they enjoy. They need to learn that their behaviour won't be tolerated, but neither will it bring the negative attention that they are after by being disruptive. You need to keep offering the option to be included in group activities, but only if they are willing to behave to the standards set out. In time, they learn that no matter what tantrums they try in whatever form, the result will be the same. They will do what they are told. The longer they mess about, or refuse, the more time they will lose in other activities. This helps them to realise that there is personal accountability. You also have to know their personalities, and have a lot of patience. Explanation is key as well. Children don't always immediately understand why adults behave the way they do. You have to lead by example. Rewards are important as well, as is consistency. If a child knows that if they make enough fuss, you will give in and they get what they want as a reward without earning it, you're in for a possible world of trouble next time. Distraction and redirection are also essential: the child will want to lead you down their established path of behaviour, and make you react the way they expect. You must show them that this is not how it is going to go. Respect is another thing. Remember that you are dealing with another person, it can be difficult to do when you have a class full of unruly kids. They have their own fears, likes, and other things. Kids aren't stupid, they will respond to your kindness, respect and clearly defined rules, although it may take time.
The patience, resilience and determination the teachers show though out is admirable and so touching. I grew up when you couldn’t talk back let alone have a tantudrum and thought that was probably the right way..this documentary has changed my mind
Awesome teachers. In the 50's through 60's in my elementary, children were lined up in school and moved to each classroom where they were humiliated in front of a whole class and then hit with a paddle. It was quite brutal for all the children. Especially for those children who had to watch and put in fear all the time.
These Teachers are GOD SENT. The love & patience they exhibit towards these difficult children is so amazing. I hope the children's parents follow through at home with the same consistency & are appreciative of these wonderful Teachers. All I keep thinking is how exhausted they must be bu the end of every day. Phew!
This series inspired me to improve my sensory spaces using some of the same resources used in the sensory room featured. I will refer back to this series when I need ideas and encouragement with my children. Really valuable.
this woman is amazing. Ive worked in ED and BD classrooms and it is the most emotionally draining frustrating and exhausting job i can imagine. May God reward her
I’m totally moved by this innovative approach to help nurture those children that need a little extra help to settle in to their school role The dedication and professionalism shown by the teacher is truly amazing I’ was a teacher for 25 years and I relate to how proud she is of her achievements with these young children It’s a wonderful feeling when you see the children flourish and it’s obvious that she has enabled these children to become valued members of society as evert child matters
I wish more recognition could be given to these teachers who go over and above and display such compassion and understanding of these children. These are lifes real celebrity's.
Wow! What a woman! She is the ULTIMATE teacher! Parents need to be like her: patient, knowledgable, compassionate, creative, loving, encouraging, supportive...amazing really. I wish I had her as a teacher. The whole world, every country needs a place and teachers like this.
The teachers working with these children are amazing, they truly see the kids as amazing young people with a ton of potential. As a Mom of an autistic boy, teachers like this are a godsend. Thank you to all the teachers who see the child behind the behaviour and stay calm and consistent to help them.
willshedo My dad made root beer in beer bottles. I'd pretend it was beer and stagger around the front yard with beer bottle. Yep my dad was an alcoholic.
Really? Just because he played drunk? I don't think so There are televisions, computers with the internet and You tube.He could have saw that anywhere.
Should also add, this documentary inspire me to train for the job I do now, because these women are incredible and if I'm half the professional they are I'll consider it a success
i APPRECIATED HOW THEY INCLUDED THE MOM OF ONE OF THE CHILDREN. HOW SHE, TOO ,WAS RECOGNIZED. HER REACTION WAS HEART WARMING, PRECIOUS. THOSE WHO WORK WITH THE CHILDREN , DESERVE TO BE HONORED.
These teachers do an absolutely incredible job, they are fantastic. They change lives. They change the whole lives of the children, but of their families as well and all the people around them. I am so impressed!
I was so happy to see how much these three kids improved. They all became so much happier, and the happiness on their faces when they got praised was amazing. These schools are incredible.
I am absolutely amazed and got so excited watching this documentary . It's so wonderful to see these fantastic , patient teachers providing positive reinforcement even when the child was unable to respond in the beginning in the " the nurture room " . It was fantastic to watch from beginning to end and experience all the behavior changes not only with this group of beautiful, smart children but also the importance of including the parents . This brought tears of joy to my eyes . Thank you so much for sharing , We need more incredible teachers in the world .
that blonde woman is lovely.. I wish she'd been in my school, I found school very difficult due to bullying and abuse from my parents, I think she would have helped me a lot
this was a fantastic unjudgemental documentary. it made me sad to read the comments judging children's home lives and families- a child can still have low self esteem or ADHD with all the love in the world. If we take the view that the child comes from a "bad" family we're writing that child off before they've even begun. the staff (not just in this film) are wonderful. The mum who was talking about her child and wanting a fresh start- she clearly loves her children but do we know what childhood or what struggles she's had? Nature Rooms are wonderful - as they said if they can help the children with social and emotional skills as early as they can it help reduce problems later on.
Thank you. It's exactly what my kid is going through right now. She is in the nurture room. I think my child's problem is, too much attention from me, that she never wanted to go to school, she wanted to stay home with me. If I had the brains I would have home schooled her, but I also wanted her to have a social life too, make friends. Her big sister was her best friend for a long time, but after a while at school she made more friends. xx
glad she is happy at school. with free online programmes and outside groups, you can home school your child and learn alongside. just remember this for high school!
I used to work in a school that tried to have a nurture room. The only problem was that it was more of a walk way between the SENCo and the Behavioral office and the senior leadership of the place would wander through and ask why we weren't working or why we weren't learning. It would have been amazing if I could have been allowed to do my job properly. I'd got the child to trust me - he'd sit on my knee for stories and we'd rock back and forward. I left after the SENCo moved our table while we were using it. I made a game of it with the child and we went on a walk to do some "jobs". The child got distressed and was sent home. I got in my car after school and cried. I phoned my agency there and then and never went back.
As an educator, it is so encouraging to see the staff communicating with parents. There must be a team approach will all children. Adults need to tear down any existing guilt or shame for their children's behaviors. Even getting parents to stop in a parent's lounge for morning coffee, tea, and cookies, get them into the school in order to make them focused on educational goals and to work as a team for student improvement. Well done!
shes 'just' doing what the patents should have done throughout the years ... this kids cant cope the curriculum, the need that emotional nurturing you give them. It's a fantastic idea. Terrific job
Right, but I done that with my child. She was by my side 24/7 I kid you not. I don't go out and drink, I don't have a fun time out with pals, I stay home with my children. My child had to go into the nurture room because classroom scared her. All those people. She was not emotionally or mentally ready to sit still and do some numbers and alphabet at 4 and half years old. In fact I have personally noticed, not many children at that age are ready. My son was the same. But my other 2 daughters who went into school at 5 and half years old, were more than ready emotionally to cope with the classroom. That is what is bugging me about these ill thought out comments. Yours is tame in comparison to the others. The nurture room and the staff are absolutely fantastic with them. It's more like home school I would say, but within school grounds where there are others to socialise with. I would have home schooled my child if I had the brains to do so. But I don't. There are plenty of reasons why many of these children are in nurture room. Dad has left home to go overseas for work, the family has broken down because parents split, Sensory issues i.e on the autistic spectrum, Older children within the home and their needs. Getting the balance right is very difficult. It's not just abused/neglected children who need the nurture room. Not one parent can say they have it 100%, but it seems by some comments on here, that they expect that or take the kids away. Sad :(
oisha sha dos This angel without wings gives Jamie the hug that Mama should have given him before school. My heart breaks for him. That teacher is gentle yet firm.
An outstanding thing about these educators is that the focus on providing what is best for their students. I don't hear them blaming and shaming the parents, other teachers, or the children. They simply address the problem, treat the children with respect and proper attention, and have reasonable expectations for them.
I really wish we had this when I was in school in Canada! I’ve got learning disabilities, anxiety, and problems with general emotional control and none of the teachers ever gave a crap that I was struggling and getting bullied by the other students. (Even when I was in special Ed from third to eighth grade) I’m so glad these kids have the nurture room to make school far less traumatic for them.
Great documentary. These teachers are absolute gems! Their patience and kindness is incredible! If these kids watch this in the future, I hope they realize how lucky they were to have been under the care of these special people.
You are amazing teachers. Worth what no man can pay and will be rewarded in eternity. Keep up the good work as people like you can change the world! My heart is touched.
I think this is a wonderful program. If only many more school systems would incorporate these methods into their regular curriculum as a safety measure and alternative program. This woman is wonderful; a God sent, special for these children with problem behaviors. What i liked more than anything is her patience, then incorporating the children in one another's classrooms bringing together and not apart. The outcome of seeing the troubled children back into their classrooms was such a great success. Outstanding!!!!
These Teachers, no- *SAINTS;* give these children the love, patience, and compassion that their parents won't or can't. From the wider society who will be impacted by them for generations *THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!*
That made me cry. The teachers are amazing. The children are lucky they have that kind of help, wow ! In my childhood I did not have any of that. No support, just shoved to the back of the class. To struggle.Just before sitting my exams GCSE's. I was kicked out of school. It's fantastic that they help the children at an early age. Respect to those teachers. They deserve an O.B.E. for their amazingly hard work, and dedication. And the children turned out really, really well. Well done teachers.....
What an amazing teacher! My son is exactly like this, I wish Sydney Australian had something available like this. My son attends a behavioural school but wow this beautiful teacher is next level Bless you
Jason is an unbelievable child who met an unbelievable teacher and together they completely changed his direction in life. This documentary was outstanding. Anyone who watches it will need tissues as it's a tear jerker but for all the right reasons.
Well this was a real pleasure to watch. These wonderful, patient, teachers with so much love in their hearts for the children that they nurture, back to the happy calm beautiful children they all are. Seeing them at the beginning of this documentary and their anxieties an the way they would lash out or the way they would not listen to the teachers at all. Then slowly but surely they started to smile an laugh again. They were now focused and interested with what they were being learned. It was all because of the lovely caring teachers who brought them back to a place where they were happy and safe...Well done...I would give you all a certificate because you have shown what love an understanding does for a child.... Mary In Ireland...x
The teacher who works in the nurture room (the blond one) deserves a hell of a reward she's doing great things :)
GodisNOT NOTDead this is how all people that work with children should be all over the world. It sure would be a much nicer place as a whole to live in.

So cute when the little boy was showing the cameraman around. These kids aren't bad they just need more patience and love. Well done to these teachers! This was great :-)
Kids screaming and shouting, usually learn it from somewhere. That somewhere is usually the home.
Amen , they just had it hard in someway or another in their young life , it’s heartbreaking so MENY little ones are born and not loved , cared for , enough , disaplented in a loving way , there dammed from the beginning of there innocent pure life as a baby ,

It was also incredible how they went from being unable to control their own behaviour and emotions to actually being able to analyse and discuss their progress in a really articulate way. It’s an awesome program, for sure.
That teacher deserves an award and a fat grant for all she's done. Truly inspirational
She deserves a HUGE BONUS on her paychecks!!
I work with kids like this every day. I'm underpaid and overworked but wouldn't change what I do for the world
Grace Cornelius so much respect for you
Thank you. I needed a class like this when I was a child. Have a lot of issues as an adult I am working on. Thank you for helping the kids. :)
Melly I appreciate that :)
Critter Lex :)
Grace Cornelius God bless you Dear 🤗😚
That little boy who pretended being drunk literally broke my heart...
But look at Jason at the end! Awesome, much happier little kid now. His mom even stuck to her promises with the school. :)
@Lauren Evenden kid shouldn't know what being drunk looks like
Lauren Evenden wtf a child that young shouldn’t know exactly what being belligerently drunk looks like.....
@Lauren Evenden sure, it's possible. the much more likely scenario is he's grown up witnessing a lot of alcoholism. hence why he's having the behavioral problems. to say that he was 'perfectly happy messing around' is very naive too. children express things in all kinds of strange ways through their behaviour.
He’s re-enacting what he sees at home. Very sad.
Jason is spot on when he pretends he's drunk. He's obviously seen a lot of it.
God bless that teacher. She has the patience of a saint.
K Earl so sad. Plus his Mom admitted she lost her children for awhile due to being an alcoholic. :(
Also wondered if he'd witnessed someone burying a body O_O
I came across this documentary by accident, and I was really surprised to see Mrs Gabrith (hope I wrote her name right!) I 've met Mrs Gabrith for the first time at the beginning of this school year (2016). She is the assistant head master at the public school that my kids attend to. The are no words to describe this incredible woman! She is everywhere! She knows exactly what's happening at any time, knows each and every kid and their needs as well as their parents. We migrated recently to Scotland and I was really worried if my kids would have a good school.. After meeting her it was the last on my list to worry about. Wish all the teachers were like her..
Honestly I wish the teachers at my high school were like that- some of them were very nice and extremely patient but others just liked to shout at us - I did have a good high school experience don’t get me wrong but jeez some of the teachers just need to calm down and be more like Mrs Gabrith
The blonde woman is an absolute angel! Just listening to her voice is a very calming and uplifting experience. It's quite evident that her love and compassion has really turned around her students' lives.
Reading through the comments so many people are quick to point out what is wrong with the kids or what the teachers aren't doing right. But not many people notice the things that are done right. The patience, positivity and passion these ladies have for teaching children is awesome.
It's easy to point your finger and say this person needs to do that, to spank, the parents suck, change their food, the walls need paint.... no
These teachers are doing great, every kid is different but they're all being themselves beautifully.
So glad you spoke up! I thought I was the only one, some of these comments are really negative. I wish there'd been this sort of help for my brother. I think these teachers are brilliant! Those gorgeous kids made so much progress!
Deborah Woods teachers are really special people. We just need to focus on the positives and continue to do what works instead of always pointing out the negatives and things will continue to improve.
Autumnn Wind sorry I wish it weren't like that for him.
Currline s I agree!
You make a good point here. The people who think they know what needs to be done for these kids forget that they don't know the parents or even the kids themselves personally and that they simply have no right to make that judgment. Also, the teachers at this school seem to know what they're doing. They're patient, gentle, and they use positive reinforcement, and it seems to work.
I've never witnessed such a high level of patience. She's outstanding.
I am a teacher. Tears in my eyes. big applause to the staff in this xx
all these kids seem so worried. I’m so glad they have such caring and intelligent teachers.
Love how much these teachers truly care about their students.
When they give the mum a certificate I cried! Maybe an indication that she had troubles at school, just like her son. It’s all about positive reinforcement, not punishment.
As someone who works for adults with disabilities/dual-diagnoses, AND childhood trauma, this concept seems much more helpful than ALL the experiences at "special schools" that I've heard. It's healthier for kids to be together, no matter their disability or behavioural issue, so long as they don't put their classmates in danger. Fostering more tolerance for non-neurotypical, and misunderstood kids by providing structure and expectations for schoolwork goals, but also a place to work out their issues which a trained teacher/aid for extra help before returning to class, seems great. Hard work, but great. I don't see the issue with providing safe spaces for these kids to "chill out" before returning to another class session. Even for neurotypical kids who are very emotionally distraught would benefit from it. If anything, they probably just need more educators for this type of educational model to be really effective.
What do you work as can I ask?
@@maysal2801 I work in social services
As a person with multiply disabilities we defo need to increase awareness.
it's all relative, for me this is far from inclusion, we'd rarely see stand alone classrooms anymore. and though i like some aspects fof the program, we'd never do things like calling out Jordyn in front of her peers.
That teacher is incredible at her job... Calm, experienced, amazing use of language to really make the children glow with pride. So amazing to see the positive changes in the children.
brilliant documentary, those staff working in the nurture room deserve some kind of reward, excellent teaching and standard of care
The true one's who really care, don't expect no reward. However, i think they should be regionized.
If only there were more people in teaching like this lady. She is there with all of her heart. It was so uplifting to see her at work and how much of a difference she has made to all of those kids.
That blonde teacher who works in the nurture room is a goddamn saint.
Avalon Ressler thankyou! that's my mum lol
Grant that's cool
Loved her in this doc! :)
Avalon Ressler ohhh yea!,,
Avalon Ressler I want to be a mom like her..... what a shining example. :) Its really so sad how little it takes to change these kids lives. Kinda makes me view those unruly children having screaming meltdowns and tantrums in public.... with a lot more understanding and patience, abandoning previous judgement for their parents and them. I never thought about what would make them behave that way, but really it makes so much sense. Im super grateful for the videos and tools on youtube about this topic. Ive found them extreemly enlighting and useful. Although, I should hope the lady is a Godblessed saint. Hahaha! :)
I would love to see a follow-up on these kids. They all did so well and the teacher's had so much love and respect for these children, they do amazing work each and everyday.
i grew up in the area around Royston and know a bunch of the kids who attended/still attend the primary school and i'm honestly so impressed with the way that teachers handle children with behavioural problems. i assume this documentary was filmed a number of years ago, but the school used to be (and arguably still is) so underfunded and the number of kids in the classrooms are far over the limit and i'm really glad that the school administrators still managed to create these sorts of facilities for the children, like the 'quiet room' and 'nurture room' etc - the teachers really seem to care about the kids.
also omg they went to m&ds for their school trip. classic Scottish kid memories!
mynameisnotmya do you know Jordyn? i would love to know how she got on and what she's doing now
@@becca1244 she's in young offenders unfortunately
When she said she was behaving like a toddler I wasn’t even ready for what was to come! The fact he thought it was perfectly okay to be crawling around and going in others things while the class was all sitting and learning was unreal to me. She is the most amazing teacher I’ve ever witnessed! Her patience level is massive. I was getting frustrated and mad just watching his behavior i couldn’t imagine dealing with it daily.
I hope this teacher has a lot of children! We need more people like her in the world! What a doll!
kar jam I'm one of her children lol thanks
+Grant
Do you know Jordyn? I would like to know how she is doing now. Is she happy? She touched my heart in this documentary. 💛
+Grant
PS Your Mum is amazing! I wish I had a teacher like her when I was in Primary School.
Sharon G thanks very much ! yeah so do I do be honest lol unfortunately Jordyn is in a young offenders institution now her and her friends got charged with an attempt murder.
+Grant
Thank you so much. Oh! How sad that is to hear about Jordyn. Your Mum is probably one of, if not the best, people Jordyn ever had in her life. The area that the school is in looks like a rough place for a child to grow up in, and there are so many factors that come into play with what happens when kids become teens. I'm not condoning her crime if she is guilty, but how very sad to hear. I thank you for your reply, Grant.
If we had more classes like this, we would have less serial killers, school shootings and dysfunctional adults.
B Butler I agree
Once someone is a psychopath, there's no going back, you can treat it but a psychopath is a psychopath for life, they'll never feel empathy. This could help but I've got a feeling it only helps about 20% in any long-term fashion. If you're able to pick up a weapon and go on a killing spree, you're a psychopath and as I said, you can't treat psychopathy...
Blunt Man not all school shooters are psychopaths. For that there is to many school shootings and not enough psychopathic students.
Blunt Man you can’t treat a psychopath you are born a psychopath
Blunt Man --BUT GOD CAN
(He is alive real & active.
These teachers have changed these children's lives forever. I don't understand any negative comments regarding their efforts. Patience, boundaries, compassion, time, willingness... these things make the difference. I didn't think that their behavior was due to being on camera. These children were noticeably changed. They recognized the change in themselves! I hope this program is still being practiced. Children need them.
K Kelly 9
This is amazing to see how patient she is with kids that have behaviour issues and take her trying to understand the different issues for each child I think this is absolutely amazing she deserves an award I wish there were more teachers like this
I love the concept of the quiet room, they should have one in every school!
Samson as someone with sensory issues I defenitly agree! :D
I love watching documentaries. When I tell my friends this they're like, "what the hell?" Especially for my age. I'm sixteen. It's just something I enjoy. Getting to learn about different things in my free time it expands my knowledge. Also, I also have fun facts to tell my mom at the end of the day when she gets home from work.
TooLitToPolitic I have had similar experiences, but I'm 13
Good for you! What a special soul you have! :)
its much better than lots of the junk on tv.
Oh, stop it. A lot of 16 year olds don't watch documentarys and the fact that this young person enjoys learning is a big deal! I get teased for watching documentarys too and i am 34. People tease about a lot of things. Instead of laughing why not tell TooLit that she is smart and good on her for being herself and having a good relationship.
her choice has nothing to do with you "Handsoap" until you decided to comment, just like me commenting at you, I could have just read your "negative" remark and just shook my head.....
She has amazing patience and is very effective in her work. She deserves an award.
This was a heart-warming documentary. I wish I had seen this when I was teaching. These teachers have wonderful skills managing poor behavior and changing it for the better. Well worth a watch for ALL teachers.
seeing jamie grow made me teary eyed, these teachers are doing things right! positive reinforcement!
You can tell there are bad environments at home. Some show signs of poor nutrition which hugely affects their mental health and development. They have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. There are tell tell signs of abuse at home and parents not equipped to be good parents, due to their own problems.
The teachers in these nurture rooms are absolutely marvelous. They cannot be praised too highly for the incredible amount of effort and patience they put into their mission. I think many of these children will look back at their time their later in life and begin to understand. In the meantime, let me bow to you!
i like the fact that they recognized the parent's effort as well . Cause often times parents feel like a failure when they have children with behavoiural issues
Those teachers are angels on earth! What a blessing for those kids.
Wow! That teacher in the nurture room is literally an angel. She's amazing and I'm so happy those children have her
I feel an emotional connection to Jamie....he's clearly dealing with a lot. I just wanna hug him..
Jason. Feel sorry for him :( he's seen a drunk in the home too many times.
When they started talking to Jason's mother that was very telling. I remember when I was young the worst and most misbehaved students had the most poorly adjusted unstable parents. Every teacher I've ever dealt with made the dangerous and tunnel visioned assumption that every single child has two well rounded well adjusted parents at home. This couldn't be further from the truth. 'Cracking down' on these children, which is the simplest thing to do, will make the situation worse. Really look at Jason. His mom was such a drunk he had to be taken away. I don't want to know the horrors he had to face as a small child.
Miss Moxie yep and even the fact that 40% of humans r truly dumb as can be
Miss Moxie well here's to Jason's mom may she only continue to go upward and have positive reinforcement. I wish and pray for Jason and his mom may they they have a fighting chance at a bit of happiness. And looking at this video I think it was all about the teachers and their approach. Well done ,well done, well done teachers!
Miss Moxie
It's not always both parents I had two sons acting out in school they were loved and treasured 24 hours a day problem was there father was an abuser loonatic who called everyday stood on the street and taught my
Sons to do wrong despis including tell them don't attend school do everything opposite to what she says in my
Situation pack of loonatic s thought I was the issue it has taken 2o years for the truth to come out and be seen by my
Sons and I certainly wasn't the problem
She looks like she is too old to have a child this age. Maybe her grandchild.
Alcohol is very aging, but she had quick. She was looking better by the end, which means her health was improving. I was so happy for her and her lovely boy, Jason.
Watched the whole program tonight, as a teacher myself I solute your patience, encouragement and endurance...not to mention the beautifully decorated classroom 💓
she seems like the nicest teacher in the world
plank because there's a camera , I crab assure you without the cameras no teacher is that patient
I really think she is that patient with or without the cameras. I think if she was being fake for the cameras, these particular kids would call her out for it.
These kids seem to really respond to her. I think if she was just acting this way for the cameras the kids wouldn't respond to her positively.
My sister in law is a teacher and she is really patient like this. I couldn't do it but am very glad there are teachers like this.
The counselors at my school (i'm a teacher) are EXCELLENT and VERY patient. It's what they go to school for. It's what they choose to do with their lives.
irk she's so sweet
I was very similar to him but I used to hit and spit at teacher
im in the US and WISH id had a school like this when my son was little. So impressive! thank you to the teachers, those children are so blessed with the teachers kindness and commpassion!
Amazing what love, kindness, and patience can do for a child❤️. That teacher loves every one of her students, you can see it in her eyes and the way she makes it seem they are the most important thing to her. Because they truly are
I am having to have these conversations and teach these lessons with my 12 year old students. My admiration for these teachers is beyond words, I’m glad I watched this! Helps me with my practice
My late mom in law used to be a teacher, a long time ago, before the concept of "nurture rooms". They sent her all the "difficult" children - those who, in today's world, would have been put on Ritalin. She managed to calm those terrors down, and get them to accept order and structure in their world. She always said that the children's behaviour was like a film of what is happening at home. Some poor children have no alternative than turning out as terrors. (BTW, I have no problem with kids taking medication, as long as you know it is not a problem being caused by inept parents.) I have the GREATEST respect for the teachers in this programme.
Angels do exist and they work in the nurture room.
What a fantastic teacher. These children will remember her forever, regardless of what happens in their lives.
The main teacher is a lovely lady with the patience of Job! Bless her for working with these precious children and being so loving!
That teacher is so kind and caring. She is so sweet, I wish I had the patience of her.
The way Jason's mom reacted to receiving that certificate was so touching.
the lady teacher is SO great. she handles him so so well
This is how I raised my sisters, in the nuture room style. We had a terribly abusive father, my mother finally divorced him, but by that time that happened, and we were all safe from him (including my mother) the damage had been done. I found you have to be firm, but supportive, very supportive. Yet, you have to give them solid boundaries, a ton of love, and reassurance that its OK to talk about what's going on for them.
Often, children who "misbehave" are merely acting out whatever stress they are under. Addressing their needs takes a lot of effort to get results. I got certified as a children's counsellor, used that knowledge to help my sisters out. Worked with teachers, professionals, psychologists, to help identify what their issues were, and make a plan to be implemented across the board. Same in home life, school life, public life etc.
I also find that patronising children doesn't work. Reacting negatively does not help. But you do have to hold them accountable. The way to do that is to make it clear that disruptive behaviour will result in constructive discipline. Usually this is by omission in activities that they would otherwise have been involved in, that they enjoy. They need to learn that their behaviour won't be tolerated, but neither will it bring the negative attention that they are after by being disruptive.
You need to keep offering the option to be included in group activities, but only if they are willing to behave to the standards set out. In time, they learn that no matter what tantrums they try in whatever form, the result will be the same. They will do what they are told. The longer they mess about, or refuse, the more time they will lose in other activities. This helps them to realise that there is personal accountability.
You also have to know their personalities, and have a lot of patience. Explanation is key as well. Children don't always immediately understand why adults behave the way they do. You have to lead by example. Rewards are important as well, as is consistency. If a child knows that if they make enough fuss, you will give in and they get what they want as a reward without earning it, you're in for a possible world of trouble next time. Distraction and redirection are also essential: the child will want to lead you down their established path of behaviour, and make you react the way they expect. You must show them that this is not how it is going to go.
Respect is another thing. Remember that you are dealing with another person, it can be difficult to do when you have a class full of unruly kids. They have their own fears, likes, and other things. Kids aren't stupid, they will respond to your kindness, respect and clearly defined rules, although it may take time.
The patience, resilience and determination the teachers show though out is admirable and so touching. I grew up when you couldn’t talk back let alone have a tantudrum and thought that was probably the right way..this documentary has changed my mind
Awesome teachers. In the 50's through 60's in my elementary, children were lined up in school and moved to each classroom where they were humiliated in front of a whole class and then hit with a paddle. It was quite brutal for all the children. Especially for those children who had to watch and put in fear all the time.
This teacher is just absolutely phenomenal. I've never seen anything like this before.
These are wonderful teachers. Such patience, acceptance, love...... enough to literally change a child's life. Bravo Teachers!!!!
These Teachers are GOD SENT. The love & patience they exhibit towards these difficult children is so amazing. I hope the children's parents follow through at home with the same consistency & are appreciative of these wonderful Teachers. All I keep thinking is how exhausted they must be bu the end of every day. Phew!
This series inspired me to improve my sensory spaces using some of the same resources used in the sensory room featured. I will refer back to this series when I need ideas and encouragement with my children. Really valuable.
this woman is amazing. Ive worked in ED and BD classrooms and it is the most emotionally draining frustrating and exhausting job i can imagine. May God reward her
I’m totally moved by this innovative approach to help nurture those children that need a little extra help to settle in to their school role
The dedication and professionalism shown by the teacher is truly amazing
I’ was a teacher for 25 years and I relate to how proud she is of her achievements with these young children
It’s a wonderful feeling when you see the children flourish and it’s obvious that she has enabled these children to become valued members of society as evert child matters
I wish more recognition could be given to these teachers who go over and above and display such compassion and understanding of these children. These are lifes real celebrity's.
Wow! What a woman! She is the ULTIMATE teacher! Parents need to be like her: patient, knowledgable, compassionate, creative, loving, encouraging, supportive...amazing really. I wish I had her as a teacher. The whole world, every country needs a place and teachers like this.
As a highly sensitive person, I dont like being around a lot of people. Some of these children are for sure highly sensitive
she’s an amazing woman, she’s doing these kids such a kind thing
Couldn't stop my tears by the end.
God bless these teachers and these kids. ❤️
I wish every child in need had such people around them. 😊
The teachers working with these children are amazing, they truly see the kids as amazing young people with a ton of potential. As a Mom of an autistic boy, teachers like this are a godsend. Thank you to all the teachers who see the child behind the behaviour and stay calm and consistent to help them.
I've cried countless times during this. I've always wanted to be a teacher but this just inspires me so much. These teachers are wonderful.
the little boy that played:"I am drunk" we can guess what's going on in his family
willshedo My dad made root beer in beer bottles. I'd pretend it was beer and stagger around the front yard with beer bottle. Yep my dad was an alcoholic.
Really? Just because he played drunk? I don't think so There are televisions, computers with the internet and You tube.He could have saw that anywhere.
I'm 60 no internet no Utube. We had small black and white tv with only5 tv stations. My father was a mean alcoholic. He was a dreadful man.
Vickie Ballard I think sometimes it’s best to be safe.
27:06
Mrs McGregor is an absolute hero, she's so kind, patient and resourceful just like the rest of the Nurture Room staff
Should also add, this documentary inspire me to train for the job I do now, because these women are incredible and if I'm half the professional they are I'll consider it a success
i APPRECIATED HOW THEY INCLUDED THE MOM OF ONE OF THE CHILDREN. HOW SHE, TOO ,WAS RECOGNIZED. HER REACTION WAS HEART WARMING, PRECIOUS. THOSE WHO WORK WITH THE CHILDREN , DESERVE TO BE HONORED.
God bless these patient, long-suffering teachers. Their job looks exhausting, but very rewarding.
This teacher really cares. I feel sorry for the bad start in life that many of these kids are dealt.
These teachers do an absolutely incredible job, they are fantastic. They change lives. They change the whole lives of the children, but of their families as well and all the people around them. I am so impressed!
I was so happy to see how much these three kids improved. They all became so much happier, and the happiness on their faces when they got praised was amazing. These schools are incredible.
I am absolutely amazed and got so excited watching this documentary . It's so wonderful to see these fantastic , patient teachers providing positive reinforcement even when the child was unable to respond in the beginning in the " the nurture room " . It was fantastic to watch from beginning to end and experience all the behavior changes not only with this group of beautiful, smart children but also the importance of including the parents . This brought tears of joy to my eyes . Thank you so much for sharing , We need more incredible teachers in the world .
This teacher is an absolute saint and the kids are so lucky to have her.
that blonde woman is lovely.. I wish she'd been in my school, I found school very difficult due to bullying and abuse from my parents, I think she would have helped me a lot
MissSindorei sorry to hear that! But it seems you are good Person!
this was a fantastic unjudgemental documentary. it made me sad to read the comments judging children's home lives and families- a child can still have low self esteem or ADHD with all the love in the world. If we take the view that the child comes from a "bad" family we're writing that child off before they've even begun. the staff (not just in this film) are wonderful. The mum who was talking about her child and wanting a fresh start- she clearly loves her children but do we know what childhood or what struggles she's had? Nature Rooms are wonderful - as they said if they can help the children with social and emotional skills as early as they can it help reduce problems later on.
Thank you. It's exactly what my kid is going through right now. She is in the nurture room. I think my child's problem is, too much attention from me, that she never wanted to go to school, she wanted to stay home with me. If I had the brains I would have home schooled her, but I also wanted her to have a social life too, make friends. Her big sister was her best friend for a long time, but after a while at school she made more friends. xx
glad she is happy at school. with free online programmes and outside groups, you can home school your child and learn alongside. just remember this for high school!
The more training you get with ACE's and childhood trauma you realize how many of these kids needed extra support, my heart breaks
Ladies, you have my utmost respect for the time and effort you've put into these kids.
This teacher is an angel! Incredible ,she has so much love for these children. She really makes this world a better place. Thank you
I used to work in a school that tried to have a nurture room. The only problem was that it was more of a walk way between the SENCo and the Behavioral office and the senior leadership of the place would wander through and ask why we weren't working or why we weren't learning. It would have been amazing if I could have been allowed to do my job properly. I'd got the child to trust me - he'd sit on my knee for stories and we'd rock back and forward. I left after the SENCo moved our table while we were using it. I made a game of it with the child and we went on a walk to do some "jobs". The child got distressed and was sent home. I got in my car after school and cried. I phoned my agency there and then and never went back.
As an educator, it is so encouraging to see the staff communicating with parents. There must be a team approach will all children. Adults need to tear down any existing guilt or shame for their children's behaviors. Even getting parents to stop in a parent's lounge for morning coffee, tea, and cookies, get them into the school in order to make them focused on educational goals and to work as a team for student improvement. Well done!
shes 'just' doing what the patents should have done throughout the years ... this kids cant cope the curriculum, the need that emotional nurturing you give them. It's a fantastic idea. Terrific job
Right, but I done that with my child. She was by my side 24/7 I kid you not. I don't go out and drink, I don't have a fun time out with pals, I stay home with my children. My child had to go into the nurture room because classroom scared her. All those people. She was not emotionally or mentally ready to sit still and do some numbers and alphabet at 4 and half years old. In fact I have personally noticed, not many children at that age are ready. My son was the same. But my other 2 daughters who went into school at 5 and half years old, were more than ready emotionally to cope with the classroom. That is what is bugging me about these ill thought out comments. Yours is tame in comparison to the others.
The nurture room and the staff are absolutely fantastic with them. It's more like home school I would say, but within school grounds where there are others to socialise with. I would have home schooled my child if I had the brains to do so. But I don't. There are plenty of reasons why many of these children are in nurture room. Dad has left home to go overseas for work, the family has broken down because parents split, Sensory issues i.e on the autistic spectrum, Older children within the home and their needs. Getting the balance right is very difficult. It's not just abused/neglected children who need the nurture room. Not one parent can say they have it 100%, but it seems by some comments on here, that they expect that or take the kids away. Sad :(
oisha sha dos This angel without wings gives Jamie the hug that Mama should have given him before school. My heart breaks for him. That teacher is gentle yet firm.
An outstanding thing about these educators is that the focus on providing what is best for their students. I don't hear them blaming and shaming the parents, other teachers, or the children. They simply address the problem, treat the children with respect and proper attention, and have reasonable expectations for them.
I really wish we had this when I was in school in Canada! I’ve got learning disabilities, anxiety, and problems with general emotional control and none of the teachers ever gave a crap that I was struggling and getting bullied by the other students. (Even when I was in special Ed from third to eighth grade) I’m so glad these kids have the nurture room to make school far less traumatic for them.
Great documentary. These teachers are absolute gems! Their patience and kindness is incredible! If these kids watch this in the future, I hope they realize how lucky they were to have been under the care of these special people.
You are amazing teachers. Worth what no man can pay and will be rewarded in eternity. Keep up the good work as people like you can change the world! My heart is touched.
That teacher is the most lovely patient teacher, we need more like her in all schoolsl
I think this is a wonderful program. If only many more school systems would incorporate these methods into their regular curriculum as a safety measure and alternative program. This woman is wonderful; a God sent, special for these children with problem behaviors. What i liked more than anything is her patience, then incorporating the children in one another's classrooms bringing together and not apart. The outcome of seeing the troubled children back into their classrooms was such a great success. Outstanding!!!!
That lady is so so so lovely. I wish I could meet her. what an inspiration she is.
These Teachers, no- *SAINTS;* give these children the love, patience, and compassion that their parents won't or can't.
From the wider society who will be impacted by them for generations *THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!*
That made me cry. The teachers are amazing. The children are lucky they have that kind of help, wow ! In my childhood I did not have any of that. No support, just shoved to the back of the class. To struggle.Just before sitting my exams GCSE's. I was kicked out of school. It's fantastic that they help the children at an early age. Respect to those teachers. They deserve an O.B.E. for their amazingly hard work, and dedication. And the children turned out really, really well. Well done teachers.....
The girl Joryden ? She was in trouble for attempted murder. I wonder after watching this what went wrong after this??
What an amazing teacher!
My son is exactly like this, I wish Sydney Australian had something available like this. My son attends a behavioural school but wow this beautiful teacher is next level
Bless you
It is amazing what patience, consistency, boundaries and kindness can achieve.
Jason is an unbelievable child who met an unbelievable teacher and together they completely changed his direction in life. This documentary was outstanding. Anyone who watches it will need tissues as it's a tear jerker but for all the right reasons.
Well this was a real pleasure to watch. These wonderful, patient, teachers with so much love in their hearts for the children that they nurture, back to the happy calm beautiful children they all are. Seeing them at the beginning of this documentary and their anxieties an the way they would lash out or the way they would not listen to the teachers at all. Then slowly but surely they started to smile an laugh again. They were now focused and interested with what they were being learned. It was all because of the lovely caring teachers who brought them back to a place where they were happy and safe...Well done...I would give you all a certificate because you have shown what love an understanding does for a child.... Mary In Ireland...x
Verbal praise and encouragement goes a long way with kids and really everyone. I’m a nanny and it works wonders with my kiddos I watch
That lady is doing a great job. Much respect.
She's an angel. She needs to be teaching teachers
This is so much better than made up stories being filmed. So pure content. Thank you. 💖
Marice Ogrimen truee
Marice Ogrimen yes...stuff like this should be made into reality T.V. rather than the Kardashian witches talking about themselves for an hour
exactly :) xx
Barbi Button 😂👊
This classroom is amazing. Kudos to the teachers for seeing that these kids need love and boundaries, not labels and discipline.
This little boy travels through different universal dimensions. With the right environment and pure love he will be able to accomplish great things 🌈🌹
The blonde lady is a true gem - that level of genuine care, empathy and compassion can’t be measured.
