Fresh off a great Kindermusik convention, I am filled with ideas of how to make my classes more effective, how to reach parents efficiently, how to use social networking to bring people to my program, and so much more. One of the most important things I learned, though, is simple and something everyone needs.
Jill Molli, a representative for Conscious Discipline (see www.beckybailey.com ) talked about several ways to help children deal with conflict and frustration. Wouldn’t life be easier if, rather than trying to control our children, we gave them the tools to control their own behavior? So, the first step that we can all incorporate is STAR (Stop, Take a deep breath, And Relax!) Wow! Maybe I can use that today in traffic or in line at the bank. Much more on this later.
