It&#8217;s like building a house\u2014you need a strong foundation. Right now, many children are feeling scared because of conversations happening within their families, what they see on TV, or what they hear in the news. [&#8230;] I also believe it takes a village to raise a child\u2014and even more so to support all children. The more people who are aware of what&#8217;s going on and how to help one another, students, and families, the better our world and community can become. We can build stronger, more supportive communities together.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Min-Jen Taylor<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color\"><strong>Learning happens best when least stressed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>&#8220;There is a concept that we use in psychology called <em>the affective filter<\/em>. How that works is that when children are under higher levels of stress, learning cannot happen. <\/p><p>For learning to happen, levels of stress need to be low. Children need to feel safe and calm, and that&#8217;s when this wall goes down. Knowledge and information can then go through in their brains. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s so important that children feel emotionally well, because high levels of stress and being in stressful situations are going to prevent them from learning. So, feeling safe is critical at this age.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Dina Castro<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color\">How adults can help children feel safe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\u201cWe shouldn\u2019t leave children to try to handle their emotions by themselves or process their emotions by themselves. The presence of another human being on their side is going to be very important. It\u2019s important to enhance the time spent in contact with them and the interactions children have with adults\u2014their caregivers, family members, early educators, and people in the community more broadly.\u201d<\/p><cite>Dina Castro<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Conversations with the Dean are a series of webinars hosted by Dean Bishop that explore some of the most pressing topics in education.
