Trauma can interfere with the development of healthy coping skills. This can prevent children from interacting in an appropriate way with peers, teachers, and family. Those that have been bullied can also become bullies because of the same principal.

Parental Support, Self-Esteem and Emotional Intelligence as Predictors of Soc...iosrjce
The Nigerian contemporary African society often sees mentally challenged children as being
bewitched, possessed, or spiritually inflicted and fails to see their situation from the biological, physiological or
accidental perspective of nature. This ill conceive feelings make members of the society and even immediate
family members behave in an unaccommodating manner to mentally challenged children at home or school.
This has negative implication on their well-being. In view of this context, this study investigated parental
support, self-esteem, and emotional intelligence as predictors of social anxiety among mentally challenged
children in Ibadan, Nigeria. Using the descriptive survey research design of ex-post factor, three research
questions were answered and data were collected using four validated instruments, from seventy (70) socially
anxious mentally challenged pupils selected through multi-stage sampling technique. Data was analysed using
the Multiple Regression Analysis at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that the independent variables
(parental support, self-esteem and emotional intelligence) made joint contribution of 58.5% variance on the
dependent variable (social anxiety). Also, the independent variables significantly predicted the dependent
variable. Thus, it was recommended that the family, school, teachers and society should support the
developmental needs of mentally challenged pupils in school and at home instead of treating them with disdain.
The very brief slide-show looks at the physical, sexual, intellectual, moral and social developments we parents need to be aware of in our adolescent kids.
Dr. Steve Tam of UC Irvine explains the growing issue of elder abuse and why it is likely to grow in the coming decades. Know the signs of different types of abuse and how to respond to suspected cases.

How Codependency Affects Our Clients & Our ServiceLaura M. Kearney
An overview of the prevalence and challenges of codependency, how it affects our clients, and how codependency in counselors can negatively impact our quality of service.
Erikson (1968) developed Psychosocial Stages which emphasized developmental change throughout the human life span. At each stage there is a crisis or task that we need to resolve. Successful completion of each developmental task results in a sense of competence and a healthy personality. Failure to master these tasks leads to feelings of inadequacy.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

5. • Bullies have been bullied or traumatized
• They have learned to be bullies from a
role model. To change a bully, change the
role model (teachers, parents, & School
climate)
• Multi-disciplinary Teams for the most
difficult cases include teachers, mental
health, counselors administrators, and
law enforcement
Major Concepts
6. • Primary Prevention – everyone
• School Climate – Respect for all and talking through conflicts
• Less Severe Problems - Teachers
• Teaching Social Skills – Olweus, character counts
• Moderate Problems - Behavior Coaches
• Setting limits, positive reinforcement, Behavior
management
• PBIS
• Severe Problems – Mental Health Referral
• Very Severe Problems - Law Enforcement and/or mental
health
Interventions Depend on the
Severity of Problems
7.
8. • Some bullies have rather moderate
problems that are fairly easily
remedied with traditional methods.
• Some Bullies have very serious
problems that are much more
difficult to resolve
• Identification, assessment and
treatment for these two groups are
different.
There are little b bullies and There
are BIG B Bullies.
9. The Severity of the Problems of a
Youth that Bullies Relate to:
• Severity and age at
which they experienced
trauma
• Prior Bullying
• Level of Aggression
• Family and school
experiences
• Types of interventions

16. What do they learn?
To withdraw,

(Freeze)
17. Development of coping skills may be so
focused on fight, flight, or freeze,
• That development of more
complex skills do not progress
as well, such as:
• Problem solving
• Developing trust, perspective
taking, and relating well to
others
• Emotional regulation
• Brain development
• Self-soothing and calming down
• Self monitoring to change
behavior.
19. • Brain still developing throughout childhood.
• Make a fist with thumb sticking down – Thumb is
brain stem, inside of fist is limbic system
(emotions), fingers are cerebral cortex or thinking
part of brain.
• The brain develops from most primitive to most
complex.
• Over proliferation followed by use it or loose it
trimming.
• Amygdala – emotional regulation – may be smaller
and less effective
• Brain development may be delayed
• Cortisol may be in over abundance causing a
constant state of arousal
Problems caused by trauma

24. • Effective coping skills and improved behavioral
regulation by age 7
• Able to form trusting reciprocal relationships after age
10

others
• Has empathy and compassion after age 10 (A chronic
bully before and after age 10, may not have developed
empathy for others.)

ability and is behaviorally well adapted. Look for
bullies among those frequently suspended from school
across grades..

26. • Behavior problems that begin in
adolescence, often end in adolescence if
routine interventions are used. (Easier to
solve)
• Chronic Behavior problems that begin in
elementary school may signal a life long
trajectory of aggression toward others and
need a different type, intensity, and length
of intervention.
Trauma and attachment Problems at
ages 0 – 3 can result in a Life-Long
Trajectory of Interpersonal Aggression
28. • Recognizing that an individual has a mind and that
others have a mind, each with a point of
view, which can differ.
• Basis for perspective taking, interpreting intention
of others, and empathy.
• Certain brain functions and social experiences are
necessary for an individual to develop a theory of
mind.
• Autistic and children maltreated in early childhood
either do not have or have a poorly developed or
distorted theory of mind.
• This does not allow the adequate development of
empathy, perspective taking, understanding
another’s intentions, or reciprocity.
Theory of Mind
29. • Toddlers do not have the social
skills to get what they want
through negotiation.
• They take what they want
• They can be quite physically
aggressive – pushing, pulling hair,
grabbing
• Tremblay et al.
Ages 2 ½ to 3 ½
30. • For those that have adults teach them
other ways to get their needs met,
aggression goes down to zero and
stays there throughout the school
years.
• For those that do not have adults
teach them other ways to get their
needs met, aggression remains –
sometimes for a lifetime
3 ½ to 5
31. • Skill Development
• Interpersonal Relatedness
• Self Concept
• Self Management
• Theory of Mind
• Emotional Regulation
• Development of Pro-social values
• Brain Development
• Family Cohesiveness and relationships
Additionally, When Attachment Bonds are
disrupted, There can be problems with

33. Complex PTSD (Courtois)/Developmental Trauma Disorder (Van
der Kolk)
• The victim is psychologically and physically immature and
dependent on others.
• His or her development is often seriously compromised by
repetitive abuse and inadequate response at the hands of
family members or others on whom he or she relies for safety and
protection.
• Symptoms include dysregulation, severe problems with
interpersonal relatedness, and ineffective general functioning
34. 3 Major Outcomes for Early Trauma
• Building strengths from overcoming the trauma
• When an adult helps a child overcome trauma and teaches skills
• Becoming bullies or a violent individual
• When no one attempts to help child overcome trauma and teach
skills
Becoming withdrawn, anxious and depressed.
When no one helps the child recover from trauma
All maltreated children should be assessed for family
therapy and skill building

46. Important Bullying Facts
Bullying is serious and should never be ignored.
Bullying is not a normal part of growing up.
Suspension is not an adequate answer.
Bullying is an adult problem to solve. Children cannot solve a
bullying problem alone.
Parents of the bully need to be involved in solving the problem.
Stopping some types of bullying is about teaching respect for
diversity and teaching social skills.
Some bullies have deep-seated problems that will take
significant treatment, some do not. teachers and counselors
need to know which is which because interventions will be
different.
Most school shooters felt they were bullied and ostracized by
another group of youth. Their attacks were often retribution
toward the group that bullied them.

Levels of Intervention
68. CARE2 Problem Complexity Score
o Uses all items on the CARE2
o Clinical, historical, dynamic, and those that
predict violence
o Gives a score that can track progress
o Gives EBP Treatment plan
o Allows agency to use more expensive
treatment for most chronic and severe cases
o Can also use Strengths score
o Can change treatment plan if youth is not
improving
69. CARE2 – Violence
o 4 NORMS
o Male/female
o Pre-teen/Teen
o Mark all that apply (Clinical and Risk
Items)
o Items with scores are added and
resiliency scores subtracted
o risk scale are statistically derived on a
sample of 1000+ youth and studies of
subsets
o Evidence based intervention plans

73. Development of Childhood Aggression
All children below the age of 3 are
aggressive
When parents teach children
alternative ways to get their
needs met, they stop being
aggressive when they enter
kindergarten or 1st grade
When no one takes on the job of
teaching alternatives to
aggression, the children remain
aggressive after they enter
school.
This is a red flag that family
intervention is needed.
74. More in depth assessments and interventions are
needed for any school age aggressive child if any of the
following are true
• Low level of coping skills?
• Child’s behavior not appropriate
in multiple settings
• Parents do not respond to
requests from school or
therapist to help problem solve.
• The child appears to be
physically neglected?
• The Child appears to be
hyperactive, depressed, irritable,
or unable to focus most of the
time?
77. The Behavioral Objective
Sequence
• By Sheldon Braatan
• A developmentally sequenced group of
skills in 6 Domains.
• Age is not the determiner of skill level
• Youth must learn skills in appropriate
developmental sequence.
• Find out at what level they have
mastered skills (can do it 90% of the
time without prompting)
78. Adaptive Skills
Responds in a developmentally appropriate
manner to rules and expectations
AND
Changes those responses as the circumstances
change
Example
I expect a __ year old to walk into the
counseling office and be able hold a
conversation with the counselor AND when
the format is changed to group therapy, the
youth is able to adapt to the different format
and relate to peers in the group, not just
counselor.
79. Adaptive: Responds appropriately to

respond when angry with self-removal
80. Self-Management Skills
Responds appropriately to challenging
experiences with self-control in order to
achieve success
Example
Gets upset with brother because he broke
something that belonged to client.
Client is able to use alternative strategies
to manage self and situation and not
harm brother, ie. ask for help
81. Communication
• Ability to share with and
receive information from other
people to meet a need or affect
another person in a positive
way.
