FW: [MARKETING] Natural Consequences

Parents-

 

Thanks so much for your participation in conferences this week. We've completed most and I appreciate your concern and interest in participating in your child's learning.

 

I'll start having grades for the 2^nd quarter entered early next week as I start catching up. Our new units have begun in Social Studies and Science. Both units are online and found on our class website >Subjects>Social Studies (or Science). I encourage conversations at home about our topics of "The Changing Nation"  (Immigration, Westward Expansion, and Inventors) and "Matter."

 

I'm forwarding the latest newsletter from "Love and Logic." I've mentioned it in a few of the conferences but I think their lessons benefit us all. I've been to their conferences and listened/read much of their material. It's about providing logical consequences to children from an empathetic point of view. I encourage everyone to visit their site when you have the time, if nothing else to sign up for their newsletter.

 

Have a great weekend and Roll Tide!

Shane Brazile

Subject: [MARKETING] Natural Consequences

 

Here is a little reminder about consequences and how they teach life's lessons. Kids learn best when they make mistakes and live with the natural consequences.   Caution! Safety always comes first. Effective consequences cause inconvenience and discomfort - NOT PAIN. Consequences that create physical pain or danger usually backfire and cause children to lose trust with the adults.   For example, the child who forgets or refuses to wear his coat outside can learn a lot from a few minutes of being cold. Wise parents don't put their child in danger by having him/her go for a long period of time in the cold. Use your common sense about this.   REMEMBER: Genuine, sincere expressions of empathy must precede the consequence. Lectures about how much the child should learn from his/her experience cancel out the benefit of the consequence. It's best to keep the old mouth shut. No need to rub salt in the wound.   Thanks for reading! Our goal is to help as many families as possible. If this is a benefit, forward it to a friend.   Jim Fay     Parents and Teachers Don't miss Dr. Charles Fay in Plano, TX on Tuesday, 10/29. See Jim Fay in Middleton, WI on Thursday, 11/7.
