You do it with calm confidence, boldly asking for what you want, knowing you'll be okay if it doesn't happen.</span></div> <div style="margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

Join me next Friday Oct 2nd from to 9 to 3pm to learn from two great speakers, Dr. Charles Fay & Jedd Hafer. More details below. Please let me know if any of you plan to go. We can sit together then all go to lunch. Would Love to see and catch up, in person. These seminars are definitely worth the time and the money. You will walk away laughing and re-inspired to use the L & L tools so you can enjoy parenting more, with less stress:)</div><div>Cheers, Andrea <blockquote type="cite"><div class="WordSection1"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width: 650px; background-color: rgb(179, 196, 200); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><tbody><tr><td style="padding: 0in; overflow: visible;"><div align="center"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="650" style="width: 487.5pt;"><tbody><tr><td width="650" style="width: 487.5pt; background-color: rgb(242, 248, 249); padding: 0in; overflow: visible; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="650" style="width: 487.5pt;"><tbody><tr><td width="457" valign="top" style="width: 342.75pt; padding: 11.25pt 0in; overflow: visible;"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="457" style="width: 342.75pt;"><tbody><tr><td width="427" valign="top" style="width: 320.25pt; padding: 0in; overflow: visible;"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="427" style="width: 320.25pt;"><tbody><tr style="height: 15pt;"><td width="427" style="width: 320.25pt; padding: 0in; height: 15pt; overflow: visible;"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="427" style="width: 320.25pt;"><tbody><tr><td width="427" style="width: 320.25pt; padding: 11.25pt 0in; overflow: visible;"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="427" style="width: 320.25pt;"><tbody><tr><td width="427" style="width: 320.25pt; padding: 0in; overflow: visible;"><p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#000000" face="UICTFontTextStyleBody"><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;">Location:</span></b> <a href="http://report.mynewsletterbuilder.com/t.js?s=55f19c77af52258054002b2e&u=34782625&v=3&key=19b0&skey=ad24063750&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnorthpoint.org%2F" target="_blank" title="North Point Community Church*"><b>North Point Community Church*</b></a><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#000000" face="UICTFontTextStyleBody"><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">4350 N.

charset=utf-8"><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Some take aways from a information packed and well written article! Well worth the time reading for anyone who wants to encourage and support the young athletes in their lives:) I am so onboard with this multi-sport development model and here is some research to back it up. Additionally, this approach allows for much richer life experiences, character building and opportunity to be exposed to more people and the possibility of forming deeper bonds. Bravo to a more well rounded strategy vs the extreme early specialization, that so often leads to burn out and/or injury. </span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"...there is more to Jordan's success than the work he has done as a golfer. In many ways, the work he did as a quarterback, pitcher and point guard laid the foundation for a successful career. This multi-sport development is the embodiment of the model that we preach at TPI (<a href="http://www.mytpi.com/certification/tracks/junior-level-2" target="_blank" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; -webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; background-position: 0px 0px;">we go in-depth on this in our Junior Coach track</a>). Develop the athlete first, then the golfer.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It won't guarantee success on TOUR, but it will help your child maximize their physical potential and overall enjoyment of the game."</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 25px;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"...(Jordan) hung up his golf clubs during football and baseball season—he was a quarterback and a pitcher—two pretty big roles. Then, he'd pick up golf again when summer rolled around," Chris (his mother) says.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 25px;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Throwing a baseball or football is a tremendous movement prep for golf as it teaches the athlete to generate power from ground force reaction and transfer that power to their arms. Just as in golf, the kinematic sequence must be fluid to maximize efficiency. Learning the coordination and athleticism to do that in baseball can translate to golf, as it did for REMAX Long Drive champ and former NCAA pitcher Tim Burke.</span></p></div><div><a href="http://www.mytpi.com/articles/fitness/jordan_spieth_athlete_first#.VYmUzY6Scj8.mailto">http://www.mytpi.com/articles/fitness/jordan_spieth_athlete_first#.VYmUzY6Scj8.mailto</a></div><div><br><br><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Andrea L Gooldy</span><div>Parent Educator and Coach</div><div><div><div>404-932-9393 </div></div></div></div></div></div>Andrea Parent Coachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15661795582718509347noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1235314734192440873.post-14379042406890021342015-04-14T08:25:00.001-07:002015-04-14T08:25:40.532-07:00Fwd: WORKSHOPS & PRESENTATIONS: "Understanding How Children Think & Feel" FREE Parenting Webinar for Families & Professionals on Apr 9<div><span></span></div><div><div>Hi moms, dads, grandparents, aunts, uncles, Anyone that Loves Kids 😊</div><div>This looks like an Awesome learning opportunity which is free!!!

Read on for more background on how best to tee up a situation where our little ones (an eventually bigger ones) can actually learn from the consequence. And to keep in mind that our real goal, when looking at the Big picture, is to raise the odds of having respectful, responsible and resilient kids. Looks like a couple of you can make it this Fri morning at Springmont for our final session! Let's meet at 9:15 am as I will need be done & packed up by 11:40am.

Has that ever made you really want to "drop the hammer"?<br> <br><span style="margin-bottom: 0px;">It happens to the best of us. When most people get off track, it is because they've lost sight of the real goal (respectful, responsible kids) and focused on a lesser goal (winning). We've all been there.</span><br> <br>For me, the best results with consequences seem to happen when the focus is solving a problem — versus causing massive discomfort for the kid. Sometimes, those two things intersect, but do not (repeat) DO NOT panic when a kid actually enjoys fixing the problem. Many kids have enjoyed repairing damage or making some other form of restitution. This does not mean the kid 'won' (and you lost). It means we feel good about ourselves when we work to solve problems.<br> <br>This is where some logic comes in. Avoid asking: 'Did the kid suffer enough?'<br> <br>Ask instead: "Was the problem solved? Was the damage paid for or repaired? Was the person's time or energy made up? Did the kid make it right?"<br> <br>Or: "Do I have a wise friend who might help me find more logical restitution than lifetime grounding?" <br> <br>These questions can put us in a better mindset to respond with more empathy and less wrath.

Parenting becomes a lot less stressful…and a lot more fun…when we can fall back on delaying consequences when things get tough. In this session, we will hear from Jim as he describes a type of consequence, called the Energy Drain, that will fit just about any sort of misbehavior. Having occasional Energy Drains make parenting a lot simpler. Well, this will be our last Love and Logic early childhood session this Fri morning. <span style="line-height: 16.5pt;">The title of this final session is: "What to Do When Your Kids Leave you Speechless."

Love to hear any updates on how using your one liners is going ( 'I know' ; 'I love you too much to argue') and/or giving choices. We will the reschedule the "uh oh song" session for another time that works for more of the parents. Our next session will be Weds the 25th on enforceable statements and how to model with great joy 👯. Hope the majority of you can make it, even if only for a portion of the session. </div><div><br></div><div>I wanted to share a very positive testimonial from a couple out in California. I think it's particularly relevant because their child is 3, similar to several of you in this course! I like the examples of all the choices they are giving her! I hope you all will get some of the benefits that this couple has:)</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Andrea </div><div><h1><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Parenting Class Participant Testimonial</span></h1><p><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Thank you very much for teaching the Love and Logic class at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church. The parenting methodology my wife and I learned made an immediate and positive impact with our 3 year old daughter. It's as if we finally found the parenting instruction manual we've been looking for. We've embraced the four basic principles of: 1) building the self-concept, 2) sharing control and decision making, 3) offering empathy, then consequences after bad behavior and 4) sharing the thinking and problem-solving. We love the method of offering choices as much as possible and do so all day long to share control when we can and then take control when we need to without resistance. Previously, getting our daughter to brush her teeth was a battle. Now we simply ask her if she "would like to brush her teeth with her pink tooth brush or her green tooth brush" and she gets excited to brush her teeth because she has a choice and is involved in the decision process. When walking around busy areas, I simply ask my daughter if she would "like to hold my left hand or my right hand." At breakfast, I ask her if she would "like to have oatmeal or scrambled eggs." When bad behavior occurs, the empathy-consequences communication works wonders. The simple "uh-oh" song is a gem of a technique in its ability to stop bad behavior instantly now that our daughter is conditioned to it. We've also put a damper on whining with: "I hear you when your voice sounds big like an adult instead of whiney. A whiney voice sounds like 'I waaaant it. Give it to meeeee! A big voice sounds like, 'Daddy, may I please have this?' I hear big voices, not whiney voices." The techniques we learned in your class make so much sense, but we never would have thought of them on our own. It makes so much sense to shift from threats and warnings to the principles of Love and Logic that try to make life at home as similar as possible to life in the real world. The Love and Logic techniques have de-stressed our lives because now we're learning the specifics of what to do and how to do it. We have a lot more to learn but at least now we have the specific lessons of the Love and Logic framework to learn from.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Thank you for changing our lives.<br>Cate and Joseph <br>Menlo Park, CA<br>Facilitator: Janada Clark</span></p><br><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Andrea L Gooldy</span><div>Parent Educator and Coach</div><div><div><div>404-932-9393 </div></div></div></div></div></div>Andrea Parent Coachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15661795582718509347noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1235314734192440873.post-79407452194814118382015-02-15T21:49:00.001-08:002015-02-15T21:49:43.188-08:00How to Handle Kids Whining and Arguing - Love and Logic<div>Hello there Class,</div><div>Just a short 4 min video by Charles Fay going over some of what we covered in our first session. Great reminder, plus good to share with spouse, grandparents, babysitter, etc. How is it going using your empathetic statement??? Remember, it's trial and error....keep experimenting until you find a statement or even a sound, that is effective. Goal is to calm yourself and give a signal to your child that no use in arguing or whining anymore. Going braindead requires a lot of practice too. Love an update from anyone who wants to share:) Our next session, this Thurs evening, will be on the "uh oh song". </div><div><br></div><div>Check out this video on YouTube:<br><br><a href="http://youtu.be/I0nTTkHCTVc">http://youtu.be/I0nTTkHCTVc</a></div><div><br><br><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Andrea L Gooldy</span><div>Parent Educator and Coach</div><div><div><div>404-932-9393 </div></div></div></div>Andrea Parent Coachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15661795582718509347noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1235314734192440873.post-19751763624012988202015-02-15T21:28:00.001-08:002015-02-15T21:28:58.240-08:00Are You a Helicopter Parent? Wendy Mogel<div>Hi Class,</div><div>I mentioned Wendy Mogul last session and her empowering approach to raising kids in her two books, "The Blessing of the Skinned Knee," and "The Blessing of a B minus." Here's a short 5 min clip that is so in line with Love and Logic and Montessori, particularly in having our kids learn consequences now, when price tag low, vs waiting until college to gain life experience and confidence. Interesting about the teacup and crispy fried labels....and how a lot of us are raising 'handicapped royalty.' I know I am guilty, sometimes, of doing too much for my son. As Wendy says, I need to pretend I have 6 kids! Gosh she just cracks me up with her sayings ~ another good one : 'Good parents Gone Bad.' Love to hear your thoughts after watching. I have a couple other Wendy Mogel videos I can forward if you enjoy this one. </div><div><br></div><div>As far as L&L session 3, scheduled for this Weds am, which is on the "uh oh song," plus removing the offending object, please let me know who can make it. I may need to reschedule if I not enough parents can attend. I know Luisana cannot attend because she is away at the beach ~ lucky lady!!! </div><div><br></div><div>Also love an update on how giving effective two choices is going....any reduction in power struggles? Or any progress using your empathetic statement? Anyone had a chance to pop in one of the L&L CD's? Just listening for a couple mins can give you some immediate tips and/or make you laugh, and produce a calming effect, particularly before your pick your kids up or when they get home from school. </div><div><br></div><div>Check out this video on YouTube:<br><br><a href="http://youtu.be/24Rdy3-pj-Y">http://youtu.be/24Rdy3-pj-Y</a></div><div><br></div><div>Keep practicing, making mistakes, progress and learning:)</div><div>Andrea </div><div><br><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Andrea L Gooldy</span><div>Parent Educator and Coach</div><div><div><div>404-932-9393 </div></div></div></div>Andrea Parent Coachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15661795582718509347noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1235314734192440873.post-9693755726379888952015-02-11T11:01:00.001-08:002015-02-11T11:01:44.593-08:00Fwd: Praise Junkies ~ Love and Logic Weekly Parenting Tips<div><span></span></div><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>Hi class,</div><div>As we discussed in this morning's session, here are the weekly L & L email tips that you can subscribe to by clicking down at the bottom.

Please bring your workbooks so we can do some of the exercises during class. In this session, we will prepare a list of possible choices. I want each one of you to leave the session having at least two choices to immediately give your child or children. It's time to start experimenting to see which choices work and which don't. <br><br>** See how many choices you can give during the day ** <br>Would you prefer to write the choices in your workbook, or on a sticky note?? You decide. Haha! See I am using it with you:) <br><br>» The Science of Control «<br>The more we share, the more we have. The less control we share, the less we have. <br><br>We can either share control on our terms, or force our kids to take it on their terms. <br><br>~ Each choice we give our kids is like a little "deposit" into their subconscious "savings account of control." Even when choices seem small and a bit silly, they can be very powerful. This is because choices create situations requiring children to think. ~ <br><br>Here are some examples of possible choices:<br>"Do you want to eat a snack in the car, or eat as soon as we get there, before you play?"<br>"Are you going to put your shirt on first or your pants on first?"<br>"Do you want to wear your coat or carry it?"<br>"Do you want the blue cup or the red one?"<br>"Do you want to leave the playground in two mins or in five minutes?"<br>"Are you going to brush your teeth in your bathroom or mommy's bathroom?"<br>"Would you rather play nicely here while I am on the phone (or computer, making dinner, etc) or be noisy in your room?"<br>"Do you want to walk next to me while we shop or sit in the shopping cart."<br>"Do you want to get dressed quickly by yourself or do you want me to help you?" <br>"Would you rather clean your room this morning or this afternoon?"<br><br>Love and Logic Guidelines for choices:<br>¤ Give 99% of choices when things are going smoothly. <br>¤ Provide choices only on issues that are not dangerous and don't create a problem for anyone else on the planet. <br>¤ Always offer two options, each choice that makes you happy. <br>¤ In ten seconds flat, choose for the child if he or she doesn't.<br><br>As Jim & Charles Fay write in their book 'Love and Logic' Magic for Early Childhood ~ Practical Parenting from birth to 6 yrs old: <br>"Wouldn't it be great if your children could learn, early on, that every choice they make affects the quality of their lives? A combination of Love and Logic can create this learning now, while they are still young."</span><br><br>In Hopeful, Happy & Harmonious </div><div>Parenting ~</div><div>Andrea </div><div><br><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Andrea L Gooldy</span><div>Parent Educator and Coach</div><div><div><div>404-932-9393 </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Andrea Parent Coachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15661795582718509347noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1235314734192440873.post-37631780518514868982015-02-02T20:29:00.001-08:002015-02-02T20:29:20.798-08:00Love & Logic Early Childhood Parenting Course: Mornings Beg Weds Feb 4th at Springmont School 9:15 AM <div><span></span></div><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div><span></span></div><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>Hi Springmont Moms Luisana, Fazia & Jen,</div><div><br></div><div>SO Happy I will be seeing all of you this Weds morning for session 1 of the Love and Logic Early childhood Parenting Made Fun!

Albert Einstein said, "It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer."</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The following are classroom activities that promote perseverance:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">1. Lead a discussion on what perseverance means and does not mean. For example: keep working until the assignment is complete, instead of trying only a few times and quitting. With the help of students list the steps that are needed to learn a new skill such as riding a bicycle, learning to swim or memorizing the multiplication table.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">2. Read the following: Abraham Lincoln said, "People are about as happy as they make their minds up to be." Mr. Lincoln experienced successes in his life, but he also failed in business in 1831, was defeated for legislature in 1832, lost his bid for congress in 1843, lost his run for the Senate in 1855, and was defeated for Vice President in 1856. Yet, in 1860, Mr. Lincoln was elected President of the United States. List and discuss the qualities he must have had. For example: positive attitude, tenacity, diligence, courage, boldness, self-discipline, and determination.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">3. Have each student write a report on a person of their choosing who demonstrated perseverance. Some examples are: Albert Einstein, Helen Keller, Thomas Edison, Harriet Tubman, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Mother Teresa, Madame (Marie) Curie, Ray Charles, Rosa Parks, or Christopher Reeve.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Have them answer the following questions in their report:</span></p><ul><li><span style="padding-top: 2px; font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">How did he or she show perseverance? <br></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In what ways are you like the person in your report? <br></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In what ways are you different from that person? <br></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">What did you learn about yourself from writing the report?<br></span></li></ul><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">4. Read and perhaps act out "The Tortoise and the Hare," "The Little Engine That Could," or another story of your choosing. Have children divide into groups to write a simple poem, song or a short story that exemplifies perseverance. Have them perform their works for each other or for children in lower grades.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">5. Have the students locate newspaper or magazine articles concerning a person who demonstrated perseverance after experiencing failure. Ask them to report what they learned.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">6. Have the students write or draw a picture illustrating a time when they persevered and succeeded even though they felt like giving up. Then discuss the feelings associated with their achievement, for example: pride, happiness, self-confidence, and self-esteem.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">7. Use puppets or students to role play situations where individuals demonstrate perseverance. Examples: a child who stutters and keeps trying to speak fluently, a child who has learning problems yet puts forth much effort to learn, a student in a wheelchair who tries to do new things.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">8. Lead a discussion on how negative comments from others can influence a student's attitude toward learning. Discuss what children can do to prevent these remarks from hindering their efforts. Talk about ways one can be successful in spite of them. (See <a href="http://www.kellybear.com/TeacherArticles/TeacherTip19.html" target="_blank">Encouraging Thoughts</a>.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">9. Ask a respected, community member who overcame obstacles to speak to your students about his or her life. Ask the individual to discuss the principles that led to his accomplishments. Then have the children compose and send a thank you card or letter.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">10. Ask the students to make out a list of things that are difficult for them and easy for them. Then discuss the fact that every child has strengths and weaknesses, but if the children keep trying they will most likely be successful.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">11. Brainstorm and list obstacles, habits, and attitudes that prevent people from accomplishing their goals. Then have the children write down or draw a picture of what they want to be or do when they grow up. Divide into pairs and have them share their ideas. As a group list the general steps they will need to take to fulfill their dreams.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">12. Have the students create a list of questions that they would like to ask an older relative or family friend. For example:</span></p><ul><li><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">What was the most important thing that you learned from your mother or father? </span></li><li><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">What values are most important in your life today? </span></li><li><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">What are you most proud of doing? </span></li><li><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Name a mistake you made. </span></li><li><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">What did you learn from your mistake? </span></li><li><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Can you describe a time when you kept trying even though you felt like giving up?<br><br>After completing the interview have the children write a report on what they learned. <br><br></span></li></ul><p class="bold"><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Ways Educators Can Encourage Perseverance in Students</span></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">1. Believe in each child's ability to achieve.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">2. Expect them to finish what they start.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">3. Avoid accepting excuses for unfinished work.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">4. Give positive feedback when a child puts forth extra effort.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">5. Help students realize that everyone makes mistakes, but what is important is to keep trying. (See the Kelly Bear <a href="http://www.kellybear.com/MatBOOKS.html" target="_blank">Behavior</a> book.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">6. Teach children how to regroup and start over.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">7. Motivate them to try new things.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">8. Encourage children to take responsibility for themselves and make constructive choices.<br> <br></span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Since perseverance is a necessary ingredient for student achievement, it needs to be encouraged. Helping children learn to be patient and to persist in spite of failure are attributes that will contribute to their future success.</span></p><div align="center"><div style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 19px;

After all, we were all children at one point, raised by parents or other adults – doesn't that give us the skills we need to raise our own children? </span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Well, not necessarily. Sometimes, people's first and automatic response is not what is in the best interests of their children. Sometimes, there are things that their parents did when raising them that could be improved upon. Sometimes, parents just don't have the knowledge of child development to understand their children's behavior. Or they are not familiar with the great variety of parenting tips and tools to pull out of their "parenting tool belt" to respond effectively to challenging behaviors. Or maybe, they don't have a supportive network that can help them through the tough times with their kids.</span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">At The Parenting Center, we believe that it is never too late to make changes to improve children's chances of succeeding in life, and that no matter how good a job parents are doing in raising their children, there is always the opportunity to learn more, to reflect on the relationship with their children, and to make improvements in their parenting approach. </span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Here are some of the heartfelt comments we have heard from parents who have used our resources: </span></span></p> <ul> <li> "The Parenting Center classes provided me with information and advice that I may have never been aware of as a first time mom. It eased my fears and gave me confidence that I was doing a good job even when some of the days seemed endless!"</li> <li> "I am grateful that you are dedicated to helping parents like me who sometimes feel desperate, anxious and frustrated. Thanks for providing a support system that can be utilized at any given moment. Whenever I have a specific problem or issue that I want to get ideas about, I know I can always contact you for help."</li> <li> "I love your Center. What a great resource. I am so glad you put all the information online and for free. The webinars are great since I live so far away. I feel like I am attending in person and in the same room as the teachers and the other parents. It was so helpful that the teachers gave word for word examples of what to say to my kids. You gave me the tools to help my children."</li> <li> "I want to tell you that I think about what I learned in your workshop almost every day. What a gift."</li> <li> "I found your website this morning. I'll tell you, I loved it. It was fun and amazing. I understood it so easily. Thank you for putting these classes online and free of charge. Having them available is priceless."</li> <li> "I learned that when my child gets angry, it is not a personal attack against me. It is just where he is at now in his life. He doesn't know how to express his anger in a better way, and I can teach him how to do that. I learned how important it is for me to give myself time to take a moment to calm down during heated moments before I respond. You gave me ways to react that won't damage him."</li> <li> "It's so great to have you there online. Whenever I am struggling to figure out how to handle a situation with one of my kids, I can just go to your website and find the information I need to do the right thing."</li> </ul> <p> <span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Some of these parents took our classes in a face-to-face setting. More and more are accessing our very large library of articles posted on our website and have attended our live online classes. These web-based resources are available free of charge, 24/7, whenever a parent has the time and the need. </span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Through The Center for Parenting Education's materials and programs, parents are able to get the needed support to do the best they can to raise resilient, responsible, caring children who are able to meet life's inevitable challenges.</span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><strong>The Center's goal is to continue to give parents the information they need regardless of ability to pay.

And Love Positive Discipline. You can get get these tools on your iPhone via an app. Christy brought these cards into our class 2 Wks ago. This strategy works with spouses too, or anyone that is important to us!!! Giving our time shows that the receiver is a priority to us, particularly when we truly don't have an agenda, other than to be connected and find out how they are. So simple in theory, yet challenging to practice regularly, as with most things in life. Please let me know if anyone has success with closet listening, and/or how giving effective choices is going.

Many parents become discouraged when they ask their children, "How was your day?" and their children say, "Fine." Then they ask, "What did you do today?" The response is, "Nothing."<br><br>Try closet listening.<br><br>Closet listening means you find times to be near your children, hoping they will talk with you, but not being obvious about it. I tried this with my daughter, Mary, when she was a teenager. While Mary was getting ready for school, fixing her hair and makeup at the bathroom mirror, I would go in and sit on the edge of the tub. The first time I did this, Mary asked, "What do you want, Mama?" I said, "Nothing, except that I just want to spend a few minutes with you." Mary waited to see what would come next. Nothing did. She finished fixing her hair and makeup and said, "Bye, Mama."<br><br>I continued to do this every morning. It wasn't long before Mary got used to having me there. I didn't ask any questions, but before long, Mary would chat away about all the things that were going on in her life.<br><br>Children often feel interrogated. You may be ready to talk when your child isn't. Experiment by serving cookies without asking, "How was your day?" Just sit there. Perhaps children who resist questions will respond when you make yourself available and just listen.<br><br>Click on the link below to listen to Dr. Jane Nelsen talk about Closet Listening<br><br><div><audio controls="controls" height="50px" width="100px"><source src="http://positivediscipline.com/files/GetingKidsToTalkToUs.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"><embed height="50px" src="" width="100px"></audio> </div><br><a href="http://positivediscipline.com/files/GetingKidsToTalkToUs.mp3" target="_blank">Click Here</a> if you do not see the MP3 player.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=897545">Subscribe to Positive Discipline by Email</a></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PositiveDisciplineWithDrJaneNelsen/~4/S07ZFfP5UNw?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"><p>This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PositiveDisciplineWithDrJaneNelsen/~5/YdR9Oq_TW_8/ClosetListening.mp3?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Download Now</a> </p> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <table style="border-top:1px solid #999;padding-top:4px;margin-top:1.5em;width:100%" id="footer"> <tbody><tr> <td style="text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;">You are subscribed to email updates from <a href="http://blog.positivediscipline.com/">Positive Discipline</a> <br>To stop receiving these emails, you may <a href="https://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailunsubscribe?k=L9D78WWDicTlRzzbl8UevCjEpWM">unsubscribe now</a>.</td> <td style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;text-align:right;vertical-align:top">Email delivery powered by Google</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;">Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States</td> </tr> </tbody></table> </div> </div></blockquote>Andrea Parent Coachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15661795582718509347noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1235314734192440873.post-18439637040476576902014-10-16T08:16:00.001-07:002014-10-16T08:16:21.507-07:00Parenting the L & L Way ~ Session 4 Avoiding Power Struggles <div><span></span></div><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>Tomorrow, Fri Oct 17th, Session 4 : Avoiding Power-Struggles via Effective Choices at Springmont School @<div>915 AM</div><div><br></div><div>Morning L & L Parents,</div><div>Come find out tomorrow how we can actually gain more control by giving some of it away.

The main two benefits of giving choices : </div><div>1 - Doing so ups the odds of cooperation from our kids.</div><div>2 - It <span style="line-height: 16.5pt;">gives them plenty of decision making practice. </span></div><div><span style="line-height: 16.5pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 16.5pt;">"When we try to hoard control, we lose it.

Or, if this does not work for the majority, I have another space we can meet at, on a Fri am, over in Perimeter area off Hammond & Peachtree Dunwoody Rd so about 3 to 4 miles from Springmont ***</div></div><div><br></div><div><div>Rules for Providing Choices:</div><div>* Only give choices that fit your value system.</div><div>* Give 99% of choices when things are going smoothly. </div><div>* Give choices before your child becomes resistant.</div><div>* For each choice, give two options, each of which you like.</div><div>* Don't be afraid to say, "I usually give choices, but not this time."</div><div>* If your child doesn't choose very quickly, choose for him or her.</div></div><div><br></div><div>Some examples of effective choices: </div><div>> Will you be wearing your coat or carrying it?</div><div>> Are<span style="line-height: 16.5pt;"> you going to take a shower or a bath?</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 16.5pt;">> Will you be brushing your top teeth first or your bottom ones first?</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 16.5pt;"><div>> Do you want the blue sippy cup or the red one?</div><div>> Do you want to leave the playground in two mins or in five minutes?</div><div>> Do you prefer you to walk next to me while we shop or sit in the shopping cart / stroller?</div><div>><span style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"> Do you want me to change your diaper in your room or here in the living room?</span></div></span><span style="line-height: 16.5pt;"><div>> I can pay for these clothes or you can pay for the designer ones.

You can borrow it, or if you like, buy it from me for what I paid, which is $10.95. Just thinking they would be good gifts for family, friends and new parents or a treat for your family 👭👬👪. It is about teaching our children what empathy looks like and how to use it, but also reminding ourselves as to what it looks like as well....empathy is a skill, that we need to learn and then practice, over and over again.</div><div><br></div><div>Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow am! </div><div><br></div><div>Andrea </div><div>404-932-9393 </div></div><div><br><br><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Andrea L Gooldy</span><div>Parent Educator and Coach</div><div><div><div>404-932-9393 </div></div></div></div>Andrea Parent Coachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15661795582718509347noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1235314734192440873.post-2441649519995463412014-10-07T09:37:00.000-07:002014-10-07T09:38:02.478-07:00Fwd: Sensory Integration Classes<div><span></span></div><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>Hi again class!</div><div>Hopefully last email from me today so not to overload you:) During class, you have probably heard me talk about sensory integration. And Jen Grahn just asked me today for more information on these enlightening and empowering overview sessions. Just so happens that Chris and I are taking the current daytime overview series. We will go to overview to tomorrow at 11:30 AM. Please go to the bottom of this email to learn more information about what sensory integration is and then what is taught during these four overviews. Chris and I need to work on the homework that is due tomorrow about identifying what are organizing and dis organizing activities for us. Christy has the parents/caregivers do their own work on themselves so as to better be able to help their children increase their sensory processing self-awareness in hopes of being able to better manage their feelings and behavior. It's All Very Fascinating. I wish I knew this when I was much younger, but better now than never! I included Christy on this email in case you want to contact her directly. If going to Decatur does not work, Christy is now offering her overviews online. However, I think being at the live session is probably more effective. </div><div>Andrea </div><div><br></div><div>Here are the current sessions:</div><div><div>Daytime Overview Series - Begins October 1st (Wednesdays, 11:30am - 1pm)</div><div>October 1 - Overview One: Introduction to Sensory Integration</div><div>October 8 - Overview Two: Creating A Sensory Diet</div><div>October 15 - Overview Three: How Does Your Engine Run?</div><div><br></div><div>Evening Overview Series - Begins October 23rd(Thursdays, 7pm - 8:30pm)</div><div>October 23 - Overview One: Introduction to Sensory Integration</div><div>October 30 - Overview Two: Creating A Sensory Diet</div><div>November 6 - Overview Three: How Does Your Engine Run?</div><div>November 13 - Overview Four: Creating A Therapeutic Play Space</div><br><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Andrea L Gooldy</span><div>Parent Educator and Coach</div><div><div><div>404-932-9393 </div></div></div></div><div><br>Begin forwarded message:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><b>From:</b> "Christy Kennedy, OTR/L, Inc" <<a href="mailto:Christy_Kennedy_OTRL_Inc@mail.vresp.com">Christy_Kennedy_OTRL_Inc@mail.vresp.com</a>><br><b>Date:</b> August 3, 2014 at 11:01:33 PM EDT<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:andreaparentcoach@gmail.com">andreaparentcoach@gmail.com</a><br><b>Subject:</b> <b>Sensory Integration Classes</b><br><b>Reply-To:</b> "Christy Kennedy, OTR/L, Inc" <<a href="mailto:reply-0fa9e7d593-148827f034-76a1@u.cts.vresp.com">reply-0fa9e7d593-148827f034-76a1@u.cts.vresp.com</a>><br><br></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div> <meta content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type"> <title>Sensory Integration Classes</title> <p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left; "> Dear Parents,<br> <br> Hope you and your family have had a fun summer with time to relax!
