I echo Tamar! Dan changed my practice when I read his books. And I think I was able to help change other teacher’s practice by sharing his ideas. The whole idea of “patience vs understanding” is pivotal and ground breaking for many.
Indeed! The role of teachers and families in guiding children towards these skills through calming and educational techniques is invaluable for building a compassionate society.
