HELPING CHILDREN MIND: A DISCIPLINE WORKSHOP

For teachers of children 2-10

What's really going on with a child who disrupts others?  Why are some active boys like that?  Why do some girls say "I'm not going to let you come to my birthday"?  Is reward and punishment the only answer?  Is it the best answer?  Should we just turn them over our knee?  Is bribery ever justified? 

Shouldn't children mind us because we are their elders?  Are these children less obedient than we were?  Is that good?  How does our training in obedience affect a child's vulnerability to abuse?  What is this child who makes me crazy really, really up to?  Bring a problem to the workshop. 

To prepare for the workshop, read something by Dreikurs or by Mazlish and Faber, or better, Alfie Kohn, or just think about the things children do that get you most angry/ frustrated/unhappy.  Listening to all of us think about it will help.  I promise.
