New information on social/emotional issues for children

Today I went to a very insightful workshop for teachers dealing with the ways teachers approach children with behavior disorders. The strategies involved the ways teachers approached the child basically with affirmation of the childs feelings compared to rewards for positve behaviors. The methods dealt with understanding how the brain works each part reflecting a different behavior.
The front of the brain [control,responsibility,passive behaviors] tThe inner part reflecting emotional responses[fear,guilt,happiness etc.] The stem of the brain taking control of the agressive nature[[impulse reations such as hitting,biting etc] Methods included affirming feelings and offering the child a safe place to get feelings under control. Deep breathing,eye contact as well as touch are some ways to help the child regroup so to speak. I am curious as to how many teachers are familiar with Becky Baily and if these methods have been helpful in there classroom community? With the problems children are facing now a days we need to revise our methods because it is obvious to me we need more than what we have been taught. It must start at an early age. All children in our fast pace lifestyle are at risk.
