Resilience affirmations help people with neurodivergence such as ADHD or dyslexia by directly combating the chronic stress, negative self-talk, and low self-esteem often caused by navigating a neurotypical world. By regularly repeating positive, strength-based statements, individuals can rewire negative thought patterns, reduce anxiety, and foster a “growth mindset” that views challenges as opportunities rather than failures. Specifically, they can:
1. Counteract Negative Self-Talk and Shame
Individuals with ADHD or dyslexia often internalize negative feedback from school or work, leading to self-limiting beliefs.
2. Strengthen Emotional Regulation and Reduce Stress
The daily effort to focus or process information can be draining, causing high stress and anxiety.
3. Foster a Growth Mindset and “Neuro-Inclusion”
Affirmations encourage viewing neurodivergent traits as unique strengths rather than deficits.
4. Examples of Resilience Affirmations
Effective affirmations are realistic and connected to daily experiences. e.g. “I am not broken, I am brilliantly wired.”
5. Scientifically Backed Mechanism
The brain can actually be rewired through these practices, a concept known as neuroplasticity. Regularly affirming positive beliefs creates new neural pathways, making proactive coping mechanisms more habitual over time.

Culturally responsive teachers can achieve a calm classroom full of diverse, engaged learners.
While some teachers have an innate ability to develop close connections with their students and build classrooms full of eager students, others find this difficult. However, by implementing a few simple ideas you too can gain the respect and engagement of your culturally diverse students and their families.
Stronger relationships between teachers and students, results in many positive outcomes including academic achievement, reduced behavioral challenges, increased engagement with learning programs and mutual respect. When students feel valued, they respond more positively.
Culture is represented in many ways. While we generally think of culture from an ethnic perspective, it can also involve aspects such as learning styles, intelligences, personal values and social mannerisms. It is a commonly misunderstood aspect of mainstream schooling.
If you are struggling to:
• control your students’ behavior,
• engage students in learning,
* help your students reach their potential,
• receive respect from your students,
research shows that culture is often at the centre of these issues.
This book is designed to help you solve these problems and gain the calm you seek in your classroom.
In Creating Calm in the Primary Teacher’s Classroom you will learn:
★ The function of behavior and how to modify challenging behaviors.
★ How to understand your culturally diverse students more deeply.
★ How to engage students who are disengaged.
★ How to develop strong relationships with all students and their families.
★ How to harness learning styles, intelligences and student strengths in your learning programs.
★ How to encourage and act on student voice and develop student agency in your class.
★ How play-based learning enhances children’s engagement in learning programs.
★ How talking and food can impact on students’ engagement.
★ How to create a calm classroom atmosphere.
The author, an accomplished educator, has told real stories throughout the book, of different students who have thrived as they felt increasingly validated for who they are. These stories are the evidence that the current educational theories and best practice outlined in the book work. Examples from the Māori and Pacific Island cultures and indigenous cultures worldwide are discussed. Details of how different approaches work, alongside clear examples of how these could be implemented in your classroom will motivate you to begin your new approach today.
As your perspectives of your students change, so too will your classroom atmosphere and your sense of calm.
