What are some effective strategies for improving behaviour?
As you begin this academic year, there may be some classes that, if you're being honest, you're feeling a bit apprehensive about teaching. If some students in your classroom are exhibiting challenging behaviours, it's important to consider potential underlying causes. For example, in a class of 30 students, 6 will have a diagnosable mental health condition, 10 will have experienced parental separation, 7 will have been bullied, 6 will be engaging in self-harm, 15 will have gone through a traumatic event, 6 will have ADHD and related dopamine deficiencies, and 10 will be struggling with anxiety*. These numbers are increasing, and as a result, the academic performance of more and more children is being compromised and negatively impacted.
How can group-drumming help?
Numerous neuroscience studies have shown group-drumming activities reduce challenging behaviours, restlessness, over-activity, non-compliance, mood swings and anxiety. Group-drumming activities improve mood, feelings of self-worth, group socialisation, awareness of personal boundaries and personal space. Group-drumming activities help children take positive risks, make positive choices and deal with change or transition.
Sounds good? Want to find out more? You need the Drumbeatable Programme!
Based on the latest neuroscience research, the Drumbeatable Programme helps build social and emotional resilience through participation in group-drumming activities. It is suitable for 7-14 year olds on any type of drum.
Learn more about these effective strategies for improving behaviour through the Drumbeatable Programme Facilitator Training.
Our next training session is on Zoom on 25th September 2024.
