PODCAST: The Science of Reading Formula - WHY KIDS ACT OUT AND WHAT THEIR NERVOUS SYSTEM IS TRYING TO TELL YOU
Kim joined Malia on The Science of Reading Formula podcast for a conversation about what's really happening underneath challenging classroom behaviour. Together they unpack how trauma and stress show up in the nervous system, why "meltdowns" and defiance are often protective strategies rather than defiance, and how teachers who stay regulated themselves can become an anchor for dysregulated students. It's a practical, compassionate reframe — moving from "what's wrong with you?" to "what happened to you?" — with real takeaways for anyone working with kids.
