“I’ve seen the wonderful impact that using
what I call an anti-bias approach has not just on the children but on the
teachers who have to kind of figure out who they are and understand themselves

like they reclaim and heal.” –Louise Derman-Sparks on her passion for helping
children discover who they truly are. (Walden University)

Hello Alvia,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog I also resonate with Dr. Becky Bailey's qoute
“Discipline is not something we do to children, but something we develop within them.” –Dr. Becky Bailey (Conscious Discipline) because giving children the skills and strategies to cope and have discipline is a skill in its own.

I really like that quote as well Paola. What a great find Alvia. I also really liked "All the time a person is a child he is both a child and learning to be a parent." This just shows how much of an impact a child's surrounding have on them- especially their parents.
ReplyDeleteAlivia,
ReplyDeleteI like the quote -" “Discipline is not something we do to children, but something we develop within them.” –Dr. Becky Bailey. As teachers, I believe we help children learn what pro-social behavior is and how to integrate into society and with their peers.
Hi Alvia,
ReplyDeleteLike the others, I enjoy the quote by Dr. Becky Bailey, "Discipline is not something we do to our children, but something we develop within them." - Dr. Becky Bailey. I have two very strong willed daughters that I'm having to learn a different discipline approach for them. There's also a book I've been reading, "Don't Make Me Count To Three", that shows a different approach as well. Instead of pointing out what they are doing wrong, try showing them what could have been said instead. Kids are just as social as adults, so they learn from their environment the most.
