Children fare better when expectations on them are clear and firm.

"Cutting" is a visible sign to the world that you are hurting.

Children mimic well. They catch what they see better than they follow what they hear.

Removing a child from a traumatic environment does not remove the trauma from the child's memory.

Simple rules adhered to when children are young can prevent more serious problems later.

Criticism is not a motivator.

The more 2 parents differ in their approaches to discipline, the more likely it leads to trouble for the child.

If it  was going to be easy to raise kids, it never would have started with something called "labour".

Being a parent of a teenager can cure a person of narcissism.

The best inheritance  parents can give their children is a few minutes of their time each day.

Behaviour Management in the Classroom

“I go home from school every night exhausted from the constant power struggles!”

“10% of the students in my class cause 90% of the behaviour problems!”

“Managing the children in my class takes as much time and energy as teaching them!”

“Teaching isn’t fun anymore. I don’t know how much longer I can keep doing this!”

This workshop presents proven strategies that replace “misbehaviour” in the classroom with “cooperation” without the need for lecturing, threatening, reasoning, cajoling, yelling, sending them to the office, etc. (3 hours)
