24.01.2022 In this fortnight's Afternoon Planning and Special Activities, we are talking to the children about traffic safety. An ingenious artistic representation of just... how much space we give to the cars and how much we allow for pedestrian activity can be seen in the Swedish artist's, Karl Jilg, car-centric reality. When we advise our children to be careful on the streets, we should have this image in mind, and it might help us understand how much we restrict them and how much we are expecting of them. See more

20.01.2022 If anyone needs a good explanation of how connection becomes between two people, read the passage below from Beau Lotto's "Deviate". The projections are our thoughts and expectations, our point of view of other.

17.01.2022 It appears that we are pushed to seek a life without problems, with perpetual happiness, and unsustainable ideals. By reframing our "problems" as challenges, at best, as most of our "problems" are really just inconveniences or irritations, we will be able to see that having differences with one another is a natural consequence of being human. Being different, however, is an essential component of living in a society that is able to develop and progress and it should be celebrated as such.

16.01.2022 Active listening is a very effective tool. Here is an excerpt from Carl Rogers and Richard Farson's book on why active listening could be an effective way to help another grow.

16.01.2022 So often, children are punished for being human. They are not allowed to have grumpy moods, bad days, disrespectful tones, or bad attitudes. Yet, we adults have them all the time. We must stop holding our children to a higher standard of perfection than we can attain ourselves.

08.01.2022 Sometimes asking the right question is more important than the answer itself. Did you feel greater pleasure giving or receiving a gift? A summary of the science can be seen here https://www.psychologytoday.com//is-giving-actually-gift-y

02.01.2022 Day 2 of 21 days of parenting tips! Role model to your children the importance of learning, self-reflection, apology, and personal growth by telling them about ...your 21 day challenge and the reason why (because you love them so much and want to bring out their best and your own). Explain what you want to change, that you need their help and support, and that if mistakes happen or you revert to old habits you will attempt to change immediately. Together work out a ‘secret’ code the other can use to support you when you slip up eg when you begin to yell. The code could be their finger on their forehead or pull of their ear lobe. We would love you to share your code and whose support you enlisted. Reading the heart warming, compassionate and vulnerable blog by Gold Coast mum Jacqui Bowden will inspire. https://www.etia.org//empathy-vulnerability-and-asking-fo/ See more
