Reduce stress through myths
It has been a year since I started this Self- reg journey with Dr. Shanker and Dr. Hopkins, and this neuroscience research-based approach has shifted my teaching approach as a teacher and rewired my pathway to this life journey. Before we learn more about self-reg, let me share my top three self-reg myths. I hope this will get you to start your curiosity and journey with Self Reg. 1: "Self-reg is the latest class management."
