love and logic
Summary of Video and readings: The video was speaking to how to speak to children by giving them choices, providing an empathy statement and speaking out of love not anger.
The readings summarized ways to speak to your children in the classroom. The first reading on misbehavior described the vicious cycle of using anger and frustration and how that just stimulates bad behavior. The second pdf "turn your word into gold" describes how just changing a few words in a teachers response can reflect a whole new meaning. The delayed consequence describes how to "condition" the child to anticipate a consequence whether than giving immediate consequence. The classroom intervention pdf describes some strategies for handling discipline in the classroom that will be a positive response rather than a negative response.
The two articles that I chose were Have a Plan for Dealing With Peer Pressure and What's More Important: GPA or Character. The first article deals with ways of indicating whether your child is truly prepared for a peer pressure situation. It gives role playing ideas, it gives responses of a prepared and non prepared teen in a party situation. The second article that speaks to GPA and character advises the parent that instilling character will promote a better GPA than pushing the child away with high demands on grades.
Text to Text: These readings, video and articles remind me of an article that I read on Child and Youth (chy.com) it gives practical examples of what peer pressure is and how to deal with real life situations. These two articles will give parents a full view into a teens life and the pressures and expectations of what the teen will have to face.
Text to World: These articles, video and readings are very relevant especially in recent history. Alot of parents are switching to the discipline of giving choices younger and younger rather than using physical force or lectures. The number of books, television shows such as the Supernany and talk shows that support this type of discipline structure truly speak to the relevance of these readings, etc.
Text to Self: I cannot really relate to the articles as I was a child of physical force and limited choices. I lived in a very overprotective and limited democracy home. It was the parents way or the high way. Although, the alternative sounds like a nice approach and will be interesting to try something new and different with my own child.
