Regulate. Relate. Reason. These “3 Rs” (developed by Dr. Bruce Perry) are an easy way to remind adults of how the brain is structured and develops and how communication is impacted when we are under significant stress. But how do you explain this in a way that kids can understand? Enter Nathan from Walnut Creek Elementary School in Austin, Texas. Walnut Creek has been working to implement the Neurosequential Model in Education as part of a pilot project in the Austin Independent School District since 2018. NME strives to help educators understand student behavior and performance by educating faculty and students in basic concepts of brain development and ways to apply them to the teaching and learning process.

In his most recent video, Walnut Creek’s resident NME super star, Nathan, explains what the “3Rs” mean and how they can help children listen and learn (complete with a fun dance to help them remember!)
