Think:Kids convened educators and administrators to discuss the growing concern around and potential solutions to children's post-pandemic challenging behaviors and lagging skills in school.
As challenging as the last year and a half of school was during the height of the pandemic, in some ways, things seem to be worse now as we confront a new challenge. We hear daily reports of escalating behavior from children, classrooms out of control, exhausted educators, and school leaders at their wits' end. Parents are concerned for the safety of their children as kids with no history of behavioral difficulties are arrested for violent fights at school.
