25.01.2022 One more day to go before our Graduation Celebration. Happy Holidays Everyone.

25.01.2022 Anyone wondering what to do when your child discovers that they just <3 LOOM BANDS and can't stop??? Pop them on the Christmas Tree. 2020 has been a year of new experiences and innovation....... so why not have a loom band "tinsel" decorated tree?? Our Theme this week was all about persistence and giving everything a other go, even if at first it was a bit tricky. Our kiddos sure showed us just how persistent they can be and many succeeded in learning new crafting skills A...ND even became the Teachers to so.e Staff as well as other children. WELL DONE EVERYONE!! WHAT A GREAT WEEK OF LEARNING, FUN, FINE MOTOR SKILLS, SHARING, TEACHING, PATIENCE and APPRECIATION of how tricky some things can be for other people. #finemotorskills #socialskills #sharing #caring #kidsasteachers #patience #appreciation See more

20.01.2022 In observance of #Dyslexia Awareness Month we will be posting one very simple thing you can do for a person with dyslexia each day. Enjoy Day 3!

19.01.2022 Beautiful parents, Elves are back...Are they worth using (along with Santa), as surveillance for good behaviour? I’d so love to believe the return of this guy,... could solve sibling conflict, non compliance, emotional meltdowns and whatever else comes up in typical family life, just by watching our children 24/7 and reporting back to Santa each night. The same goes for Santa (he knows when you are sleeping...he knows when you’re awake...) you know the rest. Is anyone noticing consistently better behaviour in their children out of fear of not getting a visit from the jolly man in the red suit? Unlikely. It can be so tempting to use the threat of Santa not visiting as a behaviour management strategy. Why wouldn’t we? We’re exhausted, (children included) and it’s the one time we can follow a tradition that could make children be ‘good’ out of fear. If you have been telling your kids to be good or Santa won’t come this year...or that the Elf will report back to Santa if they aren’t nice to their brother or sister and Santa will be very cross, you’re not alone - and frankly it’s really not a big deal... It would be hard to find a parent who hasn’t pulled these out from time to time...(Who can resist the temptation to use this novel approach on some days...and you know the kind of days I mean). Just be aware, it could backfire on you. The truth is, the pressure that comes from this fear can actually make children behave even worse (yikes). The end of the school year, often means lower resilience all round (them, you, their friends) which can mean worse than usual behaviour. The Elf on the shelf and Santa (if they still believe) might better be placed serving the role of bringing magic, joy and laughter. Not fear. In fact, a naughty Elf doing cheeky things around your house can be just the emotional circuit breaker your children need when their behaviour gets off track. You and I both know Santa is coming, no matter what. You’ve got a bank statement to prove it. Maybe we should consider leaving Santa and the Elf to do their thing, without adding the role of surveillance to their job spec? Below you’ll find a range of possibilities for tricky behaviour to keep in mind, to help understand misbehaviour. I hope it helps... They’re children, so they act childish. And no matter how wonderfully patient and skilled you are as a parent, their young, developing brains make behaviour mistakes - often. Sheer exhaustion from a very big year, late night concerts and celebrations. A lapse in boundaries around what is and isn’t okay. Children need reminders about how you expect them to behave in your home, other people’s homes and out in the community. This doesn’t mean they will always follow them, but it does mean your standards are clear and they’ll respect you for that. Not having to take responsibility for intentionally harming, bullying or upsetting another person which leads to guilt and stress. If they are taking pleasure in hurting another person, they need to be told it’s not okay. If they are allowed to behave in ways that are less than they are capable of, their true goodness gets filled with doubt and guilt. This can lead to a behaviour landslide. If they are behaving badly because they lack certain skills, it’s important they get the help they need to learn those skills. Children can get lowered self esteem when their actions annoy others - especially when they are trying hard to do the right thing. Learning challenges. Friendship issues they don’t know how to handle. Feeling disconnected from people who matter to them. Conflict in their environment. Anxiety they need help with. Poor impulse control Not enough time relaxing with family and friends, face to face. Inadequate daily movement/ exercise. Not enough time outdoors Not knowing how to calm down. Not enough laughter, creativity, play and silliness. Too rushed. Too much social media. Too much time on devices. Hunger. Being bullied. Being spoken to more about what they’re doing wrong than what they’re doing right and so much more... There’s always a reason why children struggle with behaviour. Being afraid Santa won’t visit might actually exacerbate what’s already going on behind the scenes. Take care of yourselves during this busy time. Be proud you got you and your families to the end of another school year, this year in particular. A massive achievement in itself. Thank you for reading. I’m off to see what ‘Boo’ is up to in our house - this morning he was found on the fan taking a joy ride. He better not find my chocolate stash or I’ll be reporting him to Santa. Here’s to a beautiful December folks. xx Madhavi Nawana Parker Books for raising and teaching confident, resilient and socially, emotionally skilled young people here https://positivemindsaustralia.com.au/books/ Free resources here https://positivemindsaustralia.com.au/free-resources/

14.01.2022 Explicit direct instruction is an approach based on the premise that all children can learn. What is explicit direct instruction (EDI)? EDI lessons are based on... seven design components: Learning Objective Activate Prior Knowledge Concept Development Skill Development Guided Practice Relevance Closure Lessons are a framework. Teacher decisions are made based on student responses to Checking for Understanding (CFU) questions. EDI lessons cannot be scripted. Re-teaching is done whenever required. Lessons speed up as teachers develop automaticity. Lessons are designed to meet the standards at each grade level, and are differentiated for high, low, or EL students using specific strategies. DR.

06.01.2022 Many children I’ve worked with over the years hold on all day with their emotional needs, because life and learning for many reasons, is just that bit tougher f...or them. I’ve worked with gorgeous parents who feel like they’ve done something wrong when their child shows high sensitivity and experiences regular emotional meltdowns. They desperately ask me why they lose it the second they get in the car or home from childcare...school...high school...and I gently remind them of this lovely image, so beautifully worded and illustrated by @momdotcom. Tough emotions need safe passage and what safer place could a child seek, than the loving arms of a parent? A parent who will generously keep loving them no matter what they come home feeling and despite how much effort and love it takes to parent sometimes. A parent who will have good days and bad days, regret days and no regret days. A parent who does a good enough job of delivering clear expectations and boundaries with as much kindness and compassion and understanding as they can muster up. There’s nothing in my life that’s called upon more self discipline, energy, motivation, resilience and persistence than this precious privilege of parenthood. And I studied children and behaviour, practiced it on other people’s kids at work for a decade before reaching motherhood myself . Parenthood calls upon a unique skill set you build by - well, parenting. Take care and keep going beautiful parents. You’ll never know just how much impact you’ve had on your children’s wellbeing and self confidence by loving them and being that emotional holding place. Love, Madhavi Nawana Parker xx
