Key Takeaways

- Swearing and explosive language almost always signal a nervous system in crisis, not intentional disrespect.
- Your nervous system reacts too — shock, embarrassment, pressure to act—so having a plan prevents reactive punishment.
- Punishment may silence the moment but damages trust, escalates power struggles, and disconnects the student from you.
- Responding with boundaries, honesty, and calm presence helps you maintain dignity — for yourself and the student.
- Repair afterward matters just as much as the initial response.
