I enjoyed this article, especially your description of your first hand experience as a teacher responding to children displaying outward heightened emotion.

UPR fits in really well with the all the child first tenants, particularly building a pro-social identity and collaboration. As you state this can be difficult ‘in the moment’ and takes skill to support the child without punishment or shame allowing a trusting relationship to be formed as a basis of emotional security.
