#105: Quick Win Challenge! Pick up the phone.

In this episode, I explore one of the simplest yet most powerful tools in your emotional piggybank investment toolkit: positive phone calls home. These small acts of connection can have a monumental impact!

IN THIS EPISODE, I DISCUSS:

• Why positive phone calls are a game-changer, including how they build trust and transform relationships with students and their families.
• The impact on students who display challenging behaviours, explaining why these children often miss out on positive recognition and how this small step can change their narrative.
• A simple action plan for making a positive call, with step-by-step guidance and a script to help you get started.
• The ripple effect of connection, describing how a single phone call can spark long-term behaviour change and stronger communication.

Your quick-win challenge this week:

Commit to just one positive call home. It doesn’t need to be elaborate or lengthy, just heartfelt. Use the script provided in this episode to introduce yourself, share specific positives, and open the door for future communication.

Connection is the cornerstone of teaching. Behaviour change will not happen overnight, but every small step matters. Start with one moment of connection, one positive call, and one narrative shift. You’ve got this, wonderful teacher!
