88. When Getting Started Feels Too Hard
How do you encourage someone who is avoiding a task without adding pressure or dismissing what they are experiencing? In this episode of The Language of Behavior, Joshua Stamper and Charle Peck explore what may be underneath avoidance, including anxiety, fear of failure, overwhelm, and uncertainty about where to begin. Drawing on their experiences in school leadership and therapy, they discuss why getting curious can be more useful than repeating, “Just get it done.”Josh and Charle share ways to break overwhelming tasks into manageable steps, build confidence, and create relationships where asking for support feels safe. Charle introduces her avoidance ladder tool, and they discuss validating someone’s struggle without promising that nothing will go wrong. --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?

87. Empathy Does Not Mean Removing Expectations
Can we support an anxious child without removing every uncomfortable experience? In this episode of The Language of Behavior, Joshua Stamper and Charle Peck explore a question raised at a recent conference: Is gentle parenting making kids more anxious? They unpack the difference between empathy and permissiveness, discuss how support can become overprotection, and consider what it means to help children face challenges within a trusting relationship.Drawing on their experiences as educators and parents, Josh and Charle discuss clear expectations, predictable routines, and accountability without fear or shame. They also explore ways to help students approach difficult tasks gradually rather than avoid them altogether. The conversation comes back to being firm but fair: understanding what a child is experiencing while teaching the skills they need to move forward.--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?

85. Is It a Behavior Problem or an Expectation Problem?
What do you do when someone genuinely cares but still does not follow through?

They discuss how to offer support without micromanaging, name the impact of missed commitments, and hold people accountable while helping them find a workable way forward.--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?

84. You Have More Power and Creativity Than You Realize
In this solo episode of The Language of Behavior, Joshua Stamper reflects on a recent, in-depth conversation with Principal Kafele about the ideas and strategies behind The Language of Behavior. As the school year moves forward and the “honeymoon period” begins to fade, student behavior can become more challenging in classrooms and common spaces. Joshua reminds listeners that while students must be held accountable for their choices, consequences alone do not teach the skills students need to make different decisions in the future.Drawing on a recent conversation with a new dean of students, Joshua breaks down four essential components for responding to behavior with intention:Helping students take ownership of their choices.Identifying who was affected by their actions.Teaching the appropriate replacement behavior and needed skills.Connecting consequences to the behavior in a meaningful way.Regardless of your role or title, you have more power and creativity than you may realize when supporting students through difficult moments.Principal Kafele Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/live/lmHPSBDMGVI?si=ghIvYngFTia3-6JV--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?

The Resistance Solution with Becca Silver
When someone resists change, what are they really trying to tell us?In this episode of The Language of Behavior, Josh is joined by educator, coach, author, and founder of The Whole Educator, Becca Silver. Together, they explore why resistance is not simply someone being difficult. It is often a signal that a need is not being met.Becca shares the framework behind her book, The Resistance Solution, including five mindsets that support meaningful change, value, belonging, success, growth, and ownership. She explains the difference between compliance, buy in, and true ownership, and why leaders need to get curious about what is underneath the pushback instead of trying to force change.The conversation also explores the role belonging plays in mental wellness, why isolation can feel painful, and how reflective listening can help us better understand the people around us. Josh and Becca remind listeners that complaints and resistance can be valuable feedback when we are willing to pause, listen, and ask better questions.About Becca SilverBecca Silver is a speaker, leadership trainer, Resistance Specialist, and author of The Resistance Solution: Why Educators Resist and What They Need Instead. She helps instructional coaches and school leaders understand the human side of change. Becca is also the founder of The Whole Educator and host of the long-running podcast Coaching the Whole Educator, where she explores practical ways leaders can support teachers as whole people while improving practice.Becca’s work focuses on a simple but often overlooked truth: resistance isn’t defiance. It’s information. Through her Catalyst Mindsets™ framework, she helps leaders identify the unmet needs underneath resistance and respond in ways that build trust, ownership, and real progress. Her sessions blend research, real coaching stories, and practical tools educators can use immediately.Follow Becca SilverWebsite: https://www.thewholeeducator.comTwitter (X): @BeccaSilver_EduInstagram: @thewholeeducatorFacebook: The Whole Educator CommunityLinkedin: Becca SilverYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXwwkdnMVSc3gu9Uu1HOv0-8vxvfrcp-WFree Resistance Diagnostic Assessment: https://www.thewholeeducator.com/resistance-auditBook: https://link.amazon/B00Suol9d--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?

83. The Way You Talk to Yourself Matters
How do you stop being so hard on yourself when you make a mistake?In this episode of The Language of Behavior, Josh and Charle explore why so many of us get stuck in guilt, shame, rumination, and harsh self talk after something goes wrong. Whether it is an awkward moment at work, a difficult conversation, a mistake in front of others, or criticism that keeps replaying in your mind, our brains often hold on to the negative far longer than the positive.Josh and Charle discuss the importance of pausing, noticing the physical stress response, asking what evidence supports the negative thought, and separating accountability from self attack. They also talk about the value of making repairs when needed, letting go of assumptions during silence, and focusing on what is actually within your control.--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?
