4. “Kids are not bad. Their behaviors may be bad
“Kids are not bad. Their behaviors may be bad. But those behaviors are a response to the pain they feel from unmet needs and broken Circles. The behaviors were also learned. The environment in which a young person grows up determines what needs are met or go unmet and what coping skills they learn. Therefore it is not what is wrong with the child that we should be asking. Instead we should be asking what happened or didn’t happen. And then craft our interventions from there.”

13. “And when these gifts form god act out with problematic behavior
“And when these gifts form god act out with problematic behavior. When they are mean, aggressive, annoying, disruptive, inappropriate, disrespectful, etc. we must see these problems as opportunities. As teachable moments when we will build resilience in them.”
“We must look at children in need, not as a problem but as individuals with potential..” -Desmund Tutu
