Troublesome Children: How British Teachers Cope | The Nurture Room | Real Stories
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 мар 2017
- Filmed over a period of one year, The Nurture Room accesses three schools (three of only five schools in the whole of the UK that agreed to participate in the film), and follows a handful of children as they go on their journey back to full participation in the classroom via the ‘nurture room’. This film provides an insight into the lives of troubled children within schools.
The Nurture Room covers a new approach to helping children with Additional Support Needs in the form of social, emtional and/or behavioural needs which are acting as barriers to the children's learning.
The Nurture Room is a place within the school where children can be given freedom to express themselves. The aim is to effectively address the children's needs and prevent exclusion from the classroom and any distress caused by them not having the coping skills, through no fault of their own. Primarily, these rooms hope to ensure that as few children as possible are excluded from school due to bad behaviour. By taking a proactive approach, these rooms within schools ‘nurture’ children to give them the best possible chance of coping within a mainstream classroom setting alongside their peers.

The teacher who works in the nurture room (the blond one) deserves a hell of a reward she's doing great things :)
GodisNOT NOTDead this is how all people that work with children should be all over the world. It sure would be a much nicer place as a whole to live in. I have a child who suffers from ADD & anxiety. although I feel she has grown alot over the years, certain situations that arise in school were & can still be the main triggers for her. Also, my youngest child, who is now 10, is the sweetest, incredibly helpful, loving & we'll behaved boy. Unfortunately, he has almost always had difficulty in the school environment. He becomes easily agitated & shuts down. He has refused to do or pay attention to school work because he'd be so hard on himself & believe it was just simply too difficult. We have had our fair share of teachers that have been understanding & patient. We've also had some that have had no clue how to handle it especially when he'd have an outburst after being pushed to the breaking point. Teachers like the woman in this documentary would have saved my younger 2 from years of stress & frustration. These type of people are what my son responds well too. Luckily we have come by a few that are that loving & wonderful.
Vanessa Noel ich ziehe meinen Hut vor solchen Leuten! Respekt! Diese verstörten Kinder kommen alle aus verstörten Familien anderseits keine Erklärung fuer mich! Kinder die in normalen liebevollen Familien aufwachsen,sind nicht gestört! Kinder brauchen liebe und alle Aufmerksamkeit die sie nötig haben,sonst werden sie eben so verstört!
Alynn Herschell I was researching things for our family and I just read this article that might help your family. It's called Herbal Medicine Treats Children With Learning and Behavioral Problems by Case Adams.
natural diet is everything even beteter organic. diets are depleted and kids are malnourished being filled with toxic processed frozen, canned foods. Diets make massive change in kids with behavioural issues.
Independant Thinking Yes I agree with you 100%!
That blonde teacher who works in the nurture room is a goddamn saint.
Avalon Ressler thankyou! that's my mum lol
Grant that's cool
Loved her in this doc! :)
Avalon Ressler ohhh yea!,,
Avalon Ressler I want to be a mom like her..... what a shining example. :) Its really so sad how little it takes to change these kids lives. Kinda makes me view those unruly children having screaming meltdowns and tantrums in public.... with a lot more understanding and patience, abandoning previous judgement for their parents and them. I never thought about what would make them behave that way, but really it makes so much sense. Im super grateful for the videos and tools on youtube about this topic. Ive found them extreemly enlighting and useful. Although, I should hope the lady is a Godblessed saint. Hahaha! :)
So cute when the little boy was showing the cameraman around. These kids aren't bad they just need more patience and love. Well done to these teachers! This was great :-)
Kids screaming and shouting, usually learn it from somewhere. That somewhere is usually the home.
Amen , they just had it hard in someway or another in their young life , it’s heartbreaking so MENY little ones are born and not loved , cared for , enough , disaplented in a loving way , there dammed from the beginning of there innocent pure life as a baby ,

Wee Jason was an absolute sweetheart! The difference in his behaviour over time - the behaviour of all the featured children, in fact - was nothing short of remarkable. It was also incredible how they went from being unable to control their own behaviour and emotions to actually being able to analyse and discuss their progress in a really articulate way. It’s an awesome program, for sure.
That teacher deserves an award and a fat grant for all she's done. Truly inspirational
She deserves a HUGE BONUS on her paychecks!!
That little boy who pretended being drunk literally broke my heart...
But look at Jason at the end! Awesome, much happier little kid now. His mom even stuck to her promises with the school. :)
@Lauren Evenden kid shouldn't know what being drunk looks like
Lauren Evenden wtf a child that young shouldn’t know exactly what being belligerently drunk looks like.....
@Lauren Evenden sure, it's possible. the much more likely scenario is he's grown up witnessing a lot of alcoholism. hence why he's having the behavioral problems. to say that he was 'perfectly happy messing around' is very naive too. children express things in all kinds of strange ways through their behaviour.
He’s re-enacting what he sees at home. Very sad.
I work with kids like this every day. I'm underpaid and overworked but wouldn't change what I do for the world
Grace Cornelius so much respect for you
Thank you. I needed a class like this when I was a child. Have a lot of issues as an adult I am working on. Thank you for helping the kids. :)
Melly I appreciate that :)
Critter Lex :)
Grace Cornelius God bless you Dear 🤗😚
Jason is spot on when he pretends he's drunk. He's obviously seen a lot of it.
God bless that teacher. She has the patience of a saint.
K Earl so sad. Plus his Mom admitted she lost her children for awhile due to being an alcoholic. :(
Also wondered if he'd witnessed someone burying a body O_O
Reading through the comments so many people are quick to point out what is wrong with the kids or what the teachers aren't doing right. But not many people notice the things that are done right. The patience, positivity and passion these ladies have for teaching children is awesome.
It's easy to point your finger and say this person needs to do that, to spank, the parents suck, change their food, the walls need paint.... no
These teachers are doing great, every kid is different but they're all being themselves beautifully.
So glad you spoke up! I thought I was the only one, some of these comments are really negative. I wish there'd been this sort of help for my brother. I think these teachers are brilliant! Those gorgeous kids made so much progress!
Deborah Woods teachers are really special people. We just need to focus on the positives and continue to do what works instead of always pointing out the negatives and things will continue to improve.
Autumnn Wind sorry I wish it weren't like that for him.
Currline s I agree!
You make a good point here. The people who think they know what needs to be done for these kids forget that they don't know the parents or even the kids themselves personally and that they simply have no right to make that judgment. Also, the teachers at this school seem to know what they're doing. They're patient, gentle, and they use positive reinforcement, and it seems to work.
If we had more classes like this, we would have less serial killers, school shootings and dysfunctional adults.
B Butler I agree
Once someone is a psychopath, there's no going back, you can treat it but a psychopath is a psychopath for life, they'll never feel empathy. This could help but I've got a feeling it only helps about 20% in any long-term fashion. If you're able to pick up a weapon and go on a killing spree, you're a psychopath and as I said, you can't treat psychopathy...
Blunt Man not all school shooters are psychopaths. For that there is to many school shootings and not enough psychopathic students.
Blunt Man you can’t treat a psychopath you are born a psychopath

I came across this documentary by accident, and I was really surprised to see Mrs Gabrith (hope I wrote her name right!) I 've met Mrs Gabrith for the first time at the beginning of this school year (2016). She is the assistant head master at the public school that my kids attend to. The are no words to describe this incredible woman! She is everywhere! She knows exactly what's happening at any time, knows each and every kid and their needs as well as their parents. We migrated recently to Scotland and I was really worried if my kids would have a good school.. After meeting her it was the last on my list to worry about. Wish all the teachers were like her..
Honestly I wish the teachers at my high school were like that- some of them were very nice and extremely patient but others just liked to shout at us - I did have a good high school experience don’t get me wrong but jeez some of the teachers just need to calm down and be more like Mrs Gabrith
Angels do exist and they work in the nurture room.
I am a teacher. Tears in my eyes. big applause to the staff in this xx
The blonde woman is an absolute angel! Just listening to her voice is a very calming and uplifting experience. It's quite evident that her love and compassion has really turned around her students' lives.
When they give the mum a certificate I cried! Maybe an indication that she had troubles at school, just like her son. It’s all about positive reinforcement, not punishment.
I've never witnessed such a high level of patience. She's outstanding.
As someone who works for adults with disabilities/dual-diagnoses, AND childhood trauma, this concept seems much more helpful than ALL the experiences at "special schools" that I've heard. It's healthier for kids to be together, no matter their disability or behavioural issue, so long as they don't put their classmates in danger. Fostering more tolerance for non-neurotypical, and misunderstood kids by providing structure and expectations for schoolwork goals, but also a place to work out their issues which a trained teacher/aid for extra help before returning to class, seems great. Hard work, but great. I don't see the issue with providing safe spaces for these kids to "chill out" before returning to another class session. Even for neurotypical kids who are very emotionally distraught would benefit from it. If anything, they probably just need more educators for this type of educational model to be really effective.
What do you work as can I ask?
@@maysal2801 I work in social services
As a person with multiply disabilities we defo need to increase awareness.
it's all relative, for me this is far from inclusion, we'd rarely see stand alone classrooms anymore. and though i like some aspects fof the program, we'd never do things like calling out Jordyn in front of her peers.
I love the concept of the quiet room, they should have one in every school!
Samson as someone with sensory issues I defenitly agree! :D
I love watching documentaries. When I tell my friends this they're like, "what the hell?" Especially for my age. I'm sixteen. It's just something I enjoy. Getting to learn about different things in my free time it expands my knowledge. Also, I also have fun facts to tell my mom at the end of the day when she gets home from work.
TooLitToPolitic I have had similar experiences, but I'm 13
Good for you! What a special soul you have! :)
its much better than lots of the junk on tv.
Oh, stop it. A lot of 16 year olds don't watch documentarys and the fact that this young person enjoys learning is a big deal! I get teased for watching documentarys too and i am 34. People tease about a lot of things. Instead of laughing why not tell TooLit that she is smart and good on her for being herself and having a good relationship.
her choice has nothing to do with you "Handsoap" until you decided to comment, just like me commenting at you, I could have just read your "negative" remark and just shook my head.....
These teachers have changed these children's lives forever. I don't understand any negative comments regarding their efforts. Patience, boundaries, compassion, time, willingness... these things make the difference. I didn't think that their behavior was due to being on camera. These children were noticeably changed. They recognized the change in themselves! I hope this program is still being practiced. Children need them.

When they started talking to Jason's mother that was very telling. I remember when I was young the worst and most misbehaved students had the most poorly adjusted unstable parents. Every teacher I've ever dealt with made the dangerous and tunnel visioned assumption that every single child has two well rounded well adjusted parents at home. This couldn't be further from the truth. 'Cracking down' on these children, which is the simplest thing to do, will make the situation worse. Really look at Jason. His mom was such a drunk he had to be taken away. I don't want to know the horrors he had to face as a small child.
Miss Moxie yep and even the fact that 40% of humans r truly dumb as can be
Miss Moxie well here's to Jason's mom may she only continue to go upward and have positive reinforcement. I wish and pray for Jason and his mom may they they have a fighting chance at a bit of happiness. And looking at this video I think it was all about the teachers and their approach. Well done ,well done, well done teachers!
Miss Moxie
It's not always both parents I had two sons acting out in school they were loved and treasured 24 hours a day problem was there father was an abuser loonatic who called everyday stood on the street and taught my
Sons to do wrong despis including tell them don't attend school do everything opposite to what she says in my
Situation pack of loonatic s thought I was the issue it has taken 2o years for the truth to come out and be seen by my
Sons and I certainly wasn't the problem
She looks like she is too old to have a child this age. Maybe her grandchild.
Alcohol is very aging, but she had quick. She was looking better by the end, which means her health was improving. I was so happy for her and her lovely boy, Jason.
brilliant documentary, those staff working in the nurture room deserve some kind of reward, excellent teaching and standard of care
The true one's who really care, don't expect no reward. However, i think they should be regionized.
all these kids seem so worried. I’m so glad they have such caring and intelligent teachers.
The fact that they gave the mom a certificate for supporting her son was very sweet :)
Kudos to the teacher that recognized the mom's "need" for recognition. In the USA, many kids get a trophy or award just for showing up or participating in an activity...no need to be "the best" or to work hard for it. I don't agree with that. However, we can go the opposite direction and never acknowledge anyone for anything, including when a person is working hard every day to achieve a goal. Most people like being appreciated or receiving acknowledgment for doing their best and it is a great thing to be a person that can be supportive of others. I think it gave this mom a boost to get the certificate and hopefully she will be a better mom and be more nurturing to her kids in the future. The teachers in this documentary are amazing!!
I hope this teacher has a lot of children! We need more people like her in the world! What a doll!
kar jam I'm one of her children lol thanks
+Grant
Do you know Jordyn? I would like to know how she is doing now. Is she happy? She touched my heart in this documentary. 💛
+Grant
PS Your Mum is amazing! I wish I had a teacher like her when I was in Primary School.
Sharon G thanks very much ! yeah so do I do be honest lol unfortunately Jordyn is in a young offenders institution now her and her friends got charged with an attempt murder.
+Grant
Thank you so much. Oh! How sad that is to hear about Jordyn. Your Mum is probably one of, if not the best, people Jordyn ever had in her life. The area that the school is in looks like a rough place for a child to grow up in, and there are so many factors that come into play with what happens when kids become teens. I'm not condoning her crime if she is guilty, but how very sad to hear. I thank you for your reply, Grant.
Love how much these teachers truly care about their students.
the little boy that played:"I am drunk" we can guess what's going on in his family
willshedo My dad made root beer in beer bottles. I'd pretend it was beer and stagger around the front yard with beer bottle. Yep my dad was an alcoholic.
Really? Just because he played drunk? I don't think so There are televisions, computers with the internet and You tube.He could have saw that anywhere.
I'm 60 no internet no Utube. We had small black and white tv with only5 tv stations. My father was a mean alcoholic. He was a dreadful man.
Vickie Ballard I think sometimes it’s best to be safe.

I would love to see a follow-up on these kids. They all did so well and the teacher's had so much love and respect for these children, they do amazing work each and everyday.
she seems like the nicest teacher in the world
plank because there's a camera , I crab assure you without the cameras no teacher is that patient
I really think she is that patient with or without the cameras. I think if she was being fake for the cameras, these particular kids would call her out for it.
These kids seem to really respond to her. I think if she was just acting this way for the cameras the kids wouldn't respond to her positively.
My sister in law is a teacher and she is really patient like this. I couldn't do it but am very glad there are teachers like this.
The counselors at my school (i'm a teacher) are EXCELLENT and VERY patient. It's what they go to school for. It's what they choose to do with their lives.
irk she's so sweet
I was very similar to him but I used to hit and spit at teacher
i grew up in the area around Royston and know a bunch of the kids who attended/still attend the primary school and i'm honestly so impressed with the way that teachers handle children with behavioural problems. i assume this documentary was filmed a number of years ago, but the school used to be (and arguably still is) so underfunded and the number of kids in the classrooms are far over the limit and i'm really glad that the school administrators still managed to create these sorts of facilities for the children, like the 'quiet room' and 'nurture room' etc - the teachers really seem to care about the kids.
also omg they went to m&ds for their school trip. classic Scottish kid memories!
mynameisnotmya do you know Jordyn? i would love to know how she got on and what she's doing now
@@becca1244 she's in young offenders unfortunately
When you look at how the mum reacted to getting that silly certificate, you realize that, once upon a time, she was that little kid who was hurting and desperately needed support, just like her son is now. Except, unlike her son, she never got that support, so ended up growing up with these issues and passing them on to her kids. I'm glad that Jason is getting that step up while he's young, so hopefully the cycle can end :)
Daisy H ~ You nailed it.
I cried when she got the certificate. I think she needed the encouragement as much as her child. Those teachers are amazing.
Time stamp please?
Silly certificate or certificate of achievement?
@Daisy H I cried when that happened! It shows just how much love and support these teachers not only have for their students, but also the student's parents.
When she said she was behaving like a toddler I wasn’t even ready for what was to come! The fact he thought it was perfectly okay to be crawling around and going in others things while the class was all sitting and learning was unreal to me. She is the most amazing teacher I’ve ever witnessed! Her patience level is massive. I was getting frustrated and mad just watching his behavior i couldn’t imagine dealing with it daily.
That teacher is incredible at her job... Calm, experienced, amazing use of language to really make the children glow with pride. So amazing to see the positive changes in the children.
As a highly sensitive person, I dont like being around a lot of people. Some of these children are for sure highly sensitive
seeing jamie grow made me teary eyed, these teachers are doing things right! positive reinforcement!
You can tell there are bad environments at home. Some show signs of poor nutrition which hugely affects their mental health and development. They have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. There are tell tell signs of abuse at home and parents not equipped to be good parents, due to their own problems.
If only there were more people in teaching like this lady. She is there with all of her heart. It was so uplifting to see her at work and how much of a difference she has made to all of those kids.
i like the fact that they recognized the parent's effort as well . Cause often times parents feel like a failure when they have children with behavoiural issues
that blonde woman is lovely.. I wish she'd been in my school, I found school very difficult due to bullying and abuse from my parents, I think she would have helped me a lot
MissSindorei sorry to hear that! But it seems you are good Person!
this was a fantastic unjudgemental documentary. it made me sad to read the comments judging children's home lives and families- a child can still have low self esteem or ADHD with all the love in the world. If we take the view that the child comes from a "bad" family we're writing that child off before they've even begun. the staff (not just in this film) are wonderful. The mum who was talking about her child and wanting a fresh start- she clearly loves her children but do we know what childhood or what struggles she's had? Nature Rooms are wonderful - as they said if they can help the children with social and emotional skills as early as they can it help reduce problems later on.
Thank you. It's exactly what my kid is going through right now. She is in the nurture room. I think my child's problem is, too much attention from me, that she never wanted to go to school, she wanted to stay home with me. If I had the brains I would have home schooled her, but I also wanted her to have a social life too, make friends. Her big sister was her best friend for a long time, but after a while at school she made more friends. xx
glad she is happy at school. with free online programmes and outside groups, you can home school your child and learn alongside. just remember this for high school!
This was a heart-warming documentary. I wish I had seen this when I was teaching. These teachers have wonderful skills managing poor behavior and changing it for the better. Well worth a watch for ALL teachers.
This is amazing to see how patient she is with kids that have behaviour issues and take her trying to understand the different issues for each child I think this is absolutely amazing she deserves an award I wish there were more teachers like this
I feel an emotional connection to Jamie....he's clearly dealing with a lot. I just wanna hug him..
Jason. Feel sorry for him :( he's seen a drunk in the home too many times.
She has amazing patience and is very effective in her work. She deserves an award.
@28:20 That one kid kept talking abt Jail, Death, Buried dead bodies ... i'm i the only one who thought he's seen or heard too much.
Mwamba Simon Kapss you are not the only one.. I feel like some of them are being sexually abused 😳
Mwamba Simon Kapss i Think so too! abused ,many of them! Poor unloved Children,no child Should be born without being loved! a family lisence,thats what we need!
I know i felt bad especially for the older girl, all she was lacking was more interaction and love from people around her.
Mwamba Simon Kapss I think that's the point they made of showing that :( very sad. Unfortunately, while I'm sure they're aware of these children's living situation, influences or experiences, there's likely not much they can do to change that. Instead the focus is on changing how they've learnt to deal with emotions into a more constructive one, and made school a positive environment they look forwards to. If they live in a scary area, or don't have permanent housing, or miss their parents - it must feel great for school to be a respite from all that.
people often don't realize that trauma doesn't have to be physical to permanently damage a child. I worked for years with children with severe behavior disorders and only one of them was ever physically abused, and he was by far the easiest to manage. the emotional damage is so much deeper and harder to address.
My late mom in law used to be a teacher, a long time ago, before the concept of "nurture rooms". They sent her all the "difficult" children - those who, in today's world, would have been put on Ritalin. She managed to calm those terrors down, and get them to accept order and structure in their world. She always said that the children's behaviour was like a film of what is happening at home. Some poor children have no alternative than turning out as terrors. (BTW, I have no problem with kids taking medication, as long as you know it is not a problem being caused by inept parents.) I have the GREATEST respect for the teachers in this programme.
This is how I raised my sisters, in the nuture room style. We had a terribly abusive father, my mother finally divorced him, but by that time that happened, and we were all safe from him (including my mother) the damage had been done. I found you have to be firm, but supportive, very supportive. Yet, you have to give them solid boundaries, a ton of love, and reassurance that its OK to talk about what's going on for them.
Often, children who "misbehave" are merely acting out whatever stress they are under. Addressing their needs takes a lot of effort to get results. I got certified as a children's counsellor, used that knowledge to help my sisters out. Worked with teachers, professionals, psychologists, to help identify what their issues were, and make a plan to be implemented across the board. Same in home life, school life, public life etc.
I also find that patronising children doesn't work. Reacting negatively does not help. But you do have to hold them accountable. The way to do that is to make it clear that disruptive behaviour will result in constructive discipline. Usually this is by omission in activities that they would otherwise have been involved in, that they enjoy. They need to learn that their behaviour won't be tolerated, but neither will it bring the negative attention that they are after by being disruptive.
You need to keep offering the option to be included in group activities, but only if they are willing to behave to the standards set out. In time, they learn that no matter what tantrums they try in whatever form, the result will be the same. They will do what they are told. The longer they mess about, or refuse, the more time they will lose in other activities. This helps them to realise that there is personal accountability.
You also have to know their personalities, and have a lot of patience. Explanation is key as well. Children don't always immediately understand why adults behave the way they do. You have to lead by example. Rewards are important as well, as is consistency. If a child knows that if they make enough fuss, you will give in and they get what they want as a reward without earning it, you're in for a possible world of trouble next time. Distraction and redirection are also essential: the child will want to lead you down their established path of behaviour, and make you react the way they expect. You must show them that this is not how it is going to go.
Respect is another thing. Remember that you are dealing with another person, it can be difficult to do when you have a class full of unruly kids. They have their own fears, likes, and other things. Kids aren't stupid, they will respond to your kindness, respect and clearly defined rules, although it may take time.
I used to work in a school that tried to have a nurture room. The only problem was that it was more of a walk way between the SENCo and the Behavioral office and the senior leadership of the place would wander through and ask why we weren't working or why we weren't learning. It would have been amazing if I could have been allowed to do my job properly. I'd got the child to trust me - he'd sit on my knee for stories and we'd rock back and forward. I left after the SENCo moved our table while we were using it. I made a game of it with the child and we went on a walk to do some "jobs". The child got distressed and was sent home. I got in my car after school and cried. I phoned my agency there and then and never went back.
I need her by my side on Monday to get up for work.
Five Dee I need her everyday 😢. She an angel on earth
woman. LMAO
that lady is something else, she warms my heart
Right. Persistent!
Five Dee 😂
it is kind of sad to realize I was like some of these kids and my school did nothing to help or solve my problems. they just ignored it or I got in trouble for what I did. they didn't look deeper into the situation.
Same goes for me. I am dual sensory, vision and hearing impaired. In the 1980s, there were so-called, special Schools or institution Schools for the blind, where we had to live away from home 5 days a week. I wasn't nurtured anything like the princess or angel I was dubbed by my family at home. I felt every teacher just saw me as an inconvenience and instead of being helped or instructed in the fashion to which I was accustomed I was penalised, timed out, left out of trips and other activities which the people in my class or house units took part in most weeks because they completed piecesof work without needing help or extra direction with this. was also rather too hyperactive and overactive at night when everyone including myself, was supposed to be in bed and asleep. I have a blown circadian rhythm or 24-hour body clock cycle, which sometimes still affects me to this day age 37. I was carted off to a different room to sleep the rest of the night if I was caught out of bed and out of bounds, this, after a lengthy timeout in a corner of the kitchen diner. Same applied throughout the School day. I was frogmarched out of class and timed out on the other side of the door, in the cantine over lunchtimes, at lunchtimes, for barely, putting a fingernail out of line. So flipping strict, for want of much stronger f words, so, if my children are born with my condition and sensory issues, they would never, attend School like I had to attend School, even if those Schools weren't closed down and turned into wedding venues or retirement pads. I couldn't do that to them.
Those teachers are angels on earth! What a blessing for those kids.
This is so much better than made up stories being filmed. So pure content. Thank you. 💖
Marice Ogrimen truee
Marice Ogrimen yes...stuff like this should be made into reality T.V. rather than the Kardashian witches talking about themselves for an hour
exactly :) xx
Barbi Button 😂👊
im in the US and WISH id had a school like this when my son was little. So impressive! thank you to the teachers, those children are so blessed with the teachers kindness and commpassion!
The teachers in these nurture rooms are absolutely marvelous. They cannot be praised too highly for the incredible amount of effort and patience they put into their mission. I think many of these children will look back at their time their later in life and begin to understand. In the meantime, let me bow to you!
The way Jason's mom reacted to receiving that certificate was so touching.
The more training you get with ACE's and childhood trauma you realize how many of these kids needed extra support, my heart breaks
Wow! That teacher in the nurture room is literally an angel. She's amazing and I'm so happy those children have her
I am having to have these conversations and teach these lessons with my 12 year old students. My admiration for these teachers is beyond words, I’m glad I watched this! Helps me with my practice
I really wish we had this when I was in school in Canada! I’ve got learning disabilities, anxiety, and problems with general emotional control and none of the teachers ever gave a crap that I was struggling and getting bullied by the other students. (Even when I was in special Ed from third to eighth grade) I’m so glad these kids have the nurture room to make school far less traumatic for them.
Amazing what love, kindness, and patience can do for a child❤️. That teacher loves every one of her students, you can see it in her eyes and the way she makes it seem they are the most important thing to her. Because they truly are
That teacher is so kind and caring. She is so sweet, I wish I had the patience of her.
This teacher really cares. I feel sorry for the bad start in life that many of these kids are dealt.
Awesome teachers. In the 50's through 60's in my elementary, children were lined up in school and moved to each classroom where they were humiliated in front of a whole class and then hit with a paddle. It was quite brutal for all the children. Especially for those children who had to watch and put in fear all the time.
Watched the whole program tonight, as a teacher myself I solute your patience, encouragement and endurance...not to mention the beautifully decorated classroom 💓
Remember the new boy (forgot his name) but he was sitting at the table by the teacher and was tasked to complete some paper, but suddenly he shivered all over and then stared unblinking into space for a minute or so. My first reaction was that he was having Petit Mal Epileptic seizure.
Did anyone else notice this?
Was his name Jamie? Not sure, but he was the new student who said he was too shy to meet the other children in the gym.
Amy Harvey yes! his name was Jason. I commented the same thing!
I thought exactly the same! I grew up with a girl who was only diagnosed with epilepsy well into her teens after having a grand mal. It was discovered that she had these periods of absence as well (which was passed off as day-dreaming or disinterest) that greatly interrupted her learning.
It was the way that he was unflinching when the teacher waved her hand in front of his face, and how sudden his gaze became fixed. I think that most kids would either twitch/move their eyes slightly, or even crack a slight smile if they were intentionally ignoring a teacher. It just didn't seem quite right and fits what I've heard about petit mals, not that I've knowingly witnessed one though...
she literally waved her hand in front of his face and he didn't react. They moved on like it was nothing!
Amy Harvey
when I saw that I instantly thought he was having a tourettes tick.
The blonde lady teacher deserves a medal. Someone give her an OBE!! xxxx
I wish more recognition could be given to these teachers who go over and above and display such compassion and understanding of these children. These are lifes real celebrity's.
Teachers are so underpaid.
Hiii
On the other hand, a lot of them have no business being teachers, and some are far overpaid
@@TheJumperYT true
@@TheJumperYT true, some don't get how important it is to be a teacher and potentially ruin a whole generation of kids
Teachers are bad they are ok with the abuse they do for a job.
So much patience. My nieces already drive me insane and they are reasonably well-behaved.
These Teachers are GOD SENT. The love & patience they exhibit towards these difficult children is so amazing. I hope the children's parents follow through at home with the same consistency & are appreciative of these wonderful Teachers. All I keep thinking is how exhausted they must be bu the end of every day. Phew!
The main teacher is a lovely lady with the patience of Job! Bless her for working with these precious children and being so loving!
this woman is amazing. Ive worked in ED and BD classrooms and it is the most emotionally draining frustrating and exhausting job i can imagine. May God reward her
the lady teacher is SO great. she handles him so so well
shes 'just' doing what the patents should have done throughout the years ... this kids cant cope the curriculum, the need that emotional nurturing you give them. It's a fantastic idea. Terrific job
Right, but I done that with my child. She was by my side 24/7 I kid you not. I don't go out and drink, I don't have a fun time out with pals, I stay home with my children. My child had to go into the nurture room because classroom scared her. All those people. She was not emotionally or mentally ready to sit still and do some numbers and alphabet at 4 and half years old. In fact I have personally noticed, not many children at that age are ready. My son was the same. But my other 2 daughters who went into school at 5 and half years old, were more than ready emotionally to cope with the classroom. That is what is bugging me about these ill thought out comments. Yours is tame in comparison to the others.
The nurture room and the staff are absolutely fantastic with them. It's more like home school I would say, but within school grounds where there are others to socialise with. I would have home schooled my child if I had the brains to do so. But I don't. There are plenty of reasons why many of these children are in nurture room. Dad has left home to go overseas for work, the family has broken down because parents split, Sensory issues i.e on the autistic spectrum, Older children within the home and their needs. Getting the balance right is very difficult. It's not just abused/neglected children who need the nurture room. Not one parent can say they have it 100%, but it seems by some comments on here, that they expect that or take the kids away. Sad :(
oisha sha dos This angel without wings gives Jamie the hug that Mama should have given him before school. My heart breaks for him. That teacher is gentle yet firm.
An outstanding thing about these educators is that the focus on providing what is best for their students. I don't hear them blaming and shaming the parents, other teachers, or the children. They simply address the problem, treat the children with respect and proper attention, and have reasonable expectations for them.
I’m totally moved by this innovative approach to help nurture those children that need a little extra help to settle in to their school role
The dedication and professionalism shown by the teacher is truly amazing
I’ was a teacher for 25 years and I relate to how proud she is of her achievements with these young children
It’s a wonderful feeling when you see the children flourish and it’s obvious that she has enabled these children to become valued members of society as evert child matters
i bloody love the scottisch accent
Pepe Pepperoni i'm american and i find it a little hard to understand at times, but i manage. I will say the teacher is amazingly patient with these kids.
Love the subtitles lol
Thanks 🙂🏴💜
I'm Argentinian and I agree, makes the children sound very intelligent too lmao
Mrs McGregor is an absolute hero, she's so kind, patient and resourceful just like the rest of the Nurture Room staff
Should also add, this documentary inspire me to train for the job I do now, because these women are incredible and if I'm half the professional they are I'll consider it a success
she’s an amazing woman, she’s doing these kids such a kind thing
That lady is so so so lovely. I wish I could meet her. what an inspiration she is.
This series inspired me to improve my sensory spaces using some of the same resources used in the sensory room featured. I will refer back to this series when I need ideas and encouragement with my children. Really valuable.
whatever these teachers are being paid, its not nearly enough. They're gonna require psychiatric help of their own after a year of this! god bless' em!
ToyTube TVT you do know the teachers aren't conscripted and choose to do.the work?
ToyTube TVT supply teachers because they work less than normal teacher earn less even though they are more educated. Teachers don't make tons
+georgina cat You obviously don't realize it, but your snide remark serves only to strengthen the argument that teachers such as those shown here are unconscionably underpaid. By reminding us that they've chosen this profession regardless of this fact, you've further underscored their value to society while also pointing out their selflessness. Thank you!
Salice McCool as someone who does not believe in altruism i do not agree that these teachers get nothing from their work and are selfless.
i work in the caring profession and its only been the last 4 years out of 20 that i received a good wage for it.
i also chose to do this work for a low income and with lots of heartache and hassle i would not have experienced in other professions.
i still chose to go and i received back far more than monetary gain.
the remark was not snidey. it was factual.
the teachers get lots more than money from the job - more than those they teach.
What an amazing teacher!
My son is exactly like this, I wish Sydney Australian had something available like this. My son attends a behavioural school but wow this beautiful teacher is next level
Bless you
God bless these patient, long-suffering teachers. Their job looks exhausting, but very rewarding.
I relate so much with these kids. I just wish I was offered this when I was their age. I didn't receive the psychiatric help I needed until I was in 7th grade. Just like Jason's mom said "he's been through a lot." A lot of kids like this including myself have gone through a lot, as well as a good bit of psychological trauma. It really irks me when people (and my dad is guilty of this) are like "Just give them a good ole slap on the rear that'll get them in shape." While I agree with that to an extent, if a kid has gone through things in life resulting in psychological trauma they need professional help. As someone who's now in college and was headed in the wrong direction, the help works in the long run.
Spanking will make things worse anyway.
Couldn't stop my tears by the end.
God bless these teachers and these kids. ❤️
I wish every child in need had such people around them. 😊
That teacher is the most lovely patient teacher, we need more like her in all schoolsl
24:18 Breaks my heart. You can see what type of environment this boy lives in.
This little boy travels through different universal dimensions. With the right environment and pure love he will be able to accomplish great things 🌈🌹
Jordyn is probably very inconsistently disciplined at home. Likely the problem with many of the kids. Ignored and allowed to run wild, then severely punished out of no where. I've seen it a lot.
yes, spot-on
Yep
That teacher says some just brilliant things. Those kids are very lucky!
The patience, resilience and determination the teachers show though out is admirable and so touching. I grew up when you couldn’t talk back let alone have a tantudrum and thought that was probably the right way..this documentary has changed my mind
i APPRECIATED HOW THEY INCLUDED THE MOM OF ONE OF THE CHILDREN. HOW SHE, TOO ,WAS RECOGNIZED. HER REACTION WAS HEART WARMING, PRECIOUS. THOSE WHO WORK WITH THE CHILDREN , DESERVE TO BE HONORED.
These are wonderful teachers. Such patience, acceptance, love...... enough to literally change a child's life. Bravo Teachers!!!!
Wow! What a woman! She is the ULTIMATE teacher! Parents need to be like her: patient, knowledgable, compassionate, creative, loving, encouraging, supportive...amazing really. I wish I had her as a teacher. The whole world, every country needs a place and teachers like this.
What an inspirational documentary.
The teachers working with these children are amazing, they truly see the kids as amazing young people with a ton of potential. As a Mom of an autistic boy, teachers like this are a godsend. Thank you to all the teachers who see the child behind the behaviour and stay calm and consistent to help them.
These Teachers, no- *SAINTS;* give these children the love, patience, and compassion that their parents won't or can't.
From the wider society who will be impacted by them for generations *THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!*
What a fantastic teacher. These children will remember her forever, regardless of what happens in their lives.
I'm really impressed with the whole idea behind this--- that kids who have some kind of behavior issue need to be sorted out with kindness rather than endless punishments. Anything that promotes a positivity about learning and making friends, being a good friend, will help the most
There was a boy at my school who got suspended so much. He'd be there for a week, suspended for a week and so on. Suspension keeps kids at home where the problems lie.
I agree.
I've cried countless times during this. I've always wanted to be a teacher but this just inspires me so much. These teachers are wonderful.
I was so happy to see how much these three kids improved. They all became so much happier, and the happiness on their faces when they got praised was amazing. These schools are incredible.
This teacher is an absolute saint and the kids are so lucky to have her.
What incredible, fantastic staff. How I wish every classroom could have teachers like these.
