      - Art and music should be a constant during lessons. The arts have been proven to help refugees who suffer from PTSD and anxiety. [Music helps refugee students)]
      - Routines believe it or not refugee students yearn for routine because everything they knew has been ripped from them. Giving them a routine allows them to feel that their life is getting back on track and their is a sense of their past which they miss. In most cases refugee students are hungry to learn and want the routine in order to excel.
        
        Because of the years of uncertainty many of these children face going off a routine can send them into an emotional tailspin.
        
        In these types of situations the child is no the only one who is traumatized. The whole family is to. As a teacher communication and showing compassion often motivates the parents and child. It also gives them hope for a better future if they lost it. Many refugees feel the world has forgotten about them. Be that teacher that proves them wrong.
