Positive Discipline

I am about halfway through the book Positive Disciplne by Jane Nelsen, Cheryl Erwin & Roslyn Ann Duffy. So far we have had one and a half scream-free days! Yesterday's adventures included the girls first trip to the dentist, a visit to Barnes & Noble and then a fun trip to Chuck E. Cheese. We were able to go into & out of each location on time and without a fight, even at Chuck E. Cheese!

Slacker!

Damn it, I missed two days, but I swear I have a good reason.

I was attending a two-day training for the Life is good Playmakers Power Play program. I was allowed to 'tag along' to the training, even though I am not technically an early childhood educator.

I met many great teachers from all over New England who are going above & beyond their classroom duties. I was also introduced to some revolutionary ideas regarding positive discipline and behavior management. I've ordered a few books and cannot wait for them to get here!

Hopefully, my experiences with these techniques & ideas will lead to some more significant and interesting posts here. Bear with me.

What Are You Doing This Weekend?

What are your plans for the weekend? I'll be taking part in this:

Family Band

My kids have been all about putting on shows lately. They'll bang on the piano, destroy a guitar and make up songs and dances.

Their latest creation is this:

"We're going to the beach,
Gonna have a fun waycation.
Gonna go swimming,
And eat a lot of bacon."

Sounds like a hit. And a dream vacation.
