This webinar explores seven practical strategies for supporting children who experience demand as threat in the classroom. These aren't crisis management techniques – they're early intervention approaches that reduce unnecessary demand load so that actual learning becomes accessible.
We cover:

Reframing resistance as demand overload rather than defiance
Creating low-demand zones in your classroom
The power of boring predictability for anxious nervous systems
Why removing writing requirements unlocks engagement
Using declarative language instead of direct instructions
Building in processing time without hovering
Offering 'I'll come back' at the first sign of resistance

These strategies work across early years, primary, and secondary settings. They're about removing the demand created by how we ask, so children can engage with what we're asking.
