Finding success in the stress-relaxation cycle A phone call from an excited father carried a very useful insight. "Last night I was trying to teach Gallen the name of 'w' in the alphabet," he eagerly reported, "but he just wasn't getting it. But, this morning, the first thing he did was to find a 'w' and call it by its name!" Whether we are teaching a reading concept or working on a behavior issue, when we allow the power of 'the soak' to do its work, life with children can be much more relaxed by applying the 'the soaking principle' effectively.
Transitions Made Simple"Ferggie, hurry up. We've got to get going. You're going to make us late!" It's a familiar scene. You want your child to finish a task, but schedules and events don't wait. So, you urge your child to hurry up and finish whatever. In reality, the issue is transitions. Dozens of transitions arise daily. However, over 50% of all conflicts between children and the adults in their lives involve transitions. |
