Kids These Days: A Game Plan For (Re)Connecting With Those We Teach, Lead, & Love

I am a teacher and in the district I teach in we are learning about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE's). This book helped me to understand ACE's on a deeper level and to understand the importance of our role as teachers and how much of an impact we can have. This book is not about ACE's, it's about connections and how important they are with the students who come through our door. We may know our students well, or at least we think we do, but how much do we really know about what is happening in their world? Connections with students can make a huge impact with all our students from the most engaged to the most vulnerable. Connecting with every students is what our 21st Century learners need more than anything. I highly recommend this book. Thank you Jody for you words of wisdom and for being so honest and real.

It's not really about kids, it's about us adults and how we can connect better with kids and help them make connections. Really loved listening to the author who was both funny and super informative. I recommend highly for coaches of sports, educators and leaders in business.

This book is wonderfully written. The author carefully explores the impact of trauma on the classroom, effective strategies to help, and wraps it up with self care strategies to prevent classroom burnout!

Every educator should read this one!

A wonderful and informative read. Great for parents and teachers to more fully understand how kids function and cope with life. Highly recommend!

This book was profoundly inspiring! It was a quick and easy read, filled with truly moving stories and powerful thoughts.

Excellent, inspiring book. Arrived in perfect condition.

Seriously, this woman knows what she is talking about. I love the way she lays it all out for the reader (and listener - I highly recommend listening so you can hear Dr. Carrington's passion behind her purpose) - easy to understand with SO MUCH information that transforms the way we look at children. I have been recommending this book to every parent and educator I know.

Every educator and parent alike should have this book in their “toolbox!” It was incredible and gave so much insight into the deep need for society to (re)connect!

Great book for educators and administrators alike. Connection before direction. Focusing on what the main thing should be in education.

Love this book for so many reasons

great product. thanks

This has become a favorite...I listened on Audible and have "relistened" twice! Dr. Carrington does NOT disappoint...HIGHLY recommend.

So real!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE JODY!!! She admits her imperfections and shares how she learned some things the hard way but teaches us that we are “wired to do hard things” and how to walk each other home” You won’t e disappointed!

An honest and genuine look at our school systems, the kids in them, and their surrounding supports. It's a wonderful approach to understanding on reconnecting to understand kids, educators, and everyone inbetween. Dr Jodys personality comes through her writing so it is most certainly anything but a dry read.

This book is meant for teachers and people in the school system. I’m not a teacher. I am a father of two daughters. A husband of an amazing wife. This book has helped me understand how to be a better father and husband in so many ways. If you want to become a better human being you need to read this book.

For teachers, educators, parents or anyone who works with the littles of the world, a reminder of your importance and to take care of those who hold our babes. Connection and relationship is central to care and education. Love Jody's style of writing, her honesty, her stories, and her humour. Thank you Jody! ♥️💓

I absolutely loved this book! Dr. Jody Carrington is great at speaking your language and staying REAL. I am not an educator, but as a parent I took some things away from this book and have been trying them with my children. I recommend this 100%!!
