Ep 40 - What Makes Mr. Chazz Tick?

In this episode, Julie and Ginger invite Mr. Chazz Lewis into the studio. Mr. Chazz, a former Montessori school teacher, is an educational specialist, a keynote speaker, a parent consultant, and an influencer on social media. He is basically a dynamo, and his charisma is infectious!

Mr. Chazz discusses his concept of “See, Guide, Trust”. He acknowledges that there is no guidebook, so we need to make ourselves vulnerable and open to truly “see” the child. We then need skills to effectively “guide” them. Lastly, we need to “trust” that children are doing the best that they can.  This shift is really about trying to understand the child and we must step in with curiosity.

When the pandemic came along, everything changed for schools and parents, and that was when Mr. Chazz decided to go on social media. To learn more about Mr. Chazz, go to his website: https://mrchazz.com/. From there, you can navigate to all his great social media posts.

Mr. Chazz says, “I’m really thankful for the kids that challenged me because it forced me to learn and grow.”

Mr. Chazz will be joining us at our 6th annual Creating Trauma-Sensitive Schools Conference in February 2023. To learn more, go to https://www.attachmenttraumanetwork.org/conference/.
