You can also teach children to use tapping!  
I show these videos to my students to teach them tapping for taming strong emotions.
When a student is having a rough time, this is a tool in their toolbox to self-regulate.

Trauma-Informed Teaching

Trauma-Informed Teaching
Learning about the effects of trauma on student behavior, and how you can effectively teach students with trauma, is a game-changer for a public school teacher.  To be an effective teacher for students with trauma, (and these children are in all of our classrooms) you have to be regulated yourself, or you run the risk of triggering these students with your own reactivity and then not being able to cope with the consequences of their emotional meltdowns.  The book, Help for Billy, by Heather T. Forbes, teaches us the neuroscience involved in childhood trauma, which helps us have empathy for these students and then goes on to instruct educators how to support students whose trauma-induced behavior is disrupting the classroom and causing serious stress for teachers.
