    Sep 4 2026
    What changes are you noticing in the students and adults around you?In this episode of The Language of Behavior, Josh and Charle discuss how stress and mental health needs often begin to show up as the school year gains momentum. They explore why October can be an important time to notice shifts in behavior, mood, engagement, attendance, organization, and energy.The conversation reminds educators that they are not responsible for diagnosing students. Their role is to notice meaningful changes, document observable facts, start supportive conversations, and connect students to the appropriate resources. Josh and Charle also discuss how anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, medical needs, and home stress can show up differently from student to student.They close by emphasizing that the quiet, compliant student may be carrying just as much as the student who is acting out. When adults look beyond behavior and pay attention to patterns, they are better able to support the whole child, and each other.--FREE The Language of Behavior Book Study Kit: https://thrivingeducator.myflodesk.com/lobbookstudyBulk Book Discount:https://www.connectedd.org/bulk-ordersDo you have any questions for the podcast?

    Aug 13 2026
    What should you do when a student shuts down?In this week's episode of The Language of Behavior, Josh and Charle explore what it looks like when a student becomes emotionally overwhelmed and shuts down. From glossy eyes and stiff posture to a student putting their head down or pulling up their hoodie, these behaviors are often signs of a nervous system in need of time and space, not defiance or disrespect.Josh and Charle discuss why immediately demanding compliance can escalate the situation, how to safely give students space while still providing supervision, and why regulation must come before reflection, problem solving, or consequences. They also share practical ways to respond with curiosity, recognize patterns, and avoid wasting energy trying to control every behavior in the moment. This conversation is a reminder that shutdown is often a protective response. When we focus on helping students regulate first, we create a safer path back to learning, connection, and accountability.--FREE The Language of Behavior Book Study Kit: https://thrivingeducator.myflodesk.com/lobbookstudyBulk Book Discount:https://www.connectedd.org/bulk-ordersDo you have any questions for the podcast?

  • 75. Behavior Is Data, Not a Verdict
    Jul 15 2026
    In this week's episode of The Language of Behavior, Josh and Charlie dive into the question of how to tell when someone is lying. They explain why there is no perfect tell, why body language alone can be misleading, and why the most helpful approach is to look for clusters of behavior that deviate from a person’s baseline.The conversation explores eye movement, stress responses, confirmation bias, and the importance of asking more questions instead of jumping to conclusions. Josh and Charlie remind listeners that behavior is data, not a verdict, and that curiosity is a better tool than judgment when trying to understand what is really happening underneath the surface.--FREE The Language of Behavior Book Study Kit: https://thrivingeducator.myflodesk.com/lobbookstudyBulk Book Discount:https://www.connectedd.org/bulk-ordersDo you have any questions for the podcast?
