‘Pregnancy is a private and personal decision and should not require the permission of any politician.’  In 2019, poet Amanda Gorman took a stand against abortion bans in the U.S. and her words are just as relevant today.

If adults can stay calm when a child is upset, they can be flexible in responding to negative behaviors. Mindful adults know their own emotional triggers; they’re problem solvers, not authoritarians. Be aware of your own thoughts/beliefs/behaviors & how it impacts relationships.

So excited about this… Thank you Lori Desautels

When are we going to do something…

My thoughts on the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

If you are okay with having Muslim, Jewish and Hindu students sit through a Christian prayer in public school, and not okay with having Christian students sit through a Muslim, Jewish or Hindu prayer, then it’s NOT religious freedom- it’s religious oppression.

Did you stop & see our Festival of Trees “Team Tinsel” designers today? Sat 7/16, 9-3 is the last day of the Glorious Garden Festival fair at the David Davis Mansion. We’re making bows, selling wreaths, & demo’ing how to make ‘em! (Ask us how to become a Festival of Trees donor)

Great analogy…

Once upon a classroom, I thought behaviors were where we parted (diverged). How could they defy me? Now, I see they’re where we meet (converge). How can I help them? Behavior as communication is only part of the equation. My response is the other. Behavior is a conversation.

A child's behavior isn't about me. They're not doing this to me. It's a symptom like a sneeze showing us a cold, a cut showing there's a wound, and a scab showing us healing. This behavior is showing us that the nervous system is rough. Can we become curious? What is underneath?

This is discipline!

I'm here for you. What is your body telling you? How are you feeling right now? What are your choices? Co-regulation is a therapeutic strategy where another person steps in to help a child identify/process their emotions. It creates a safe space to find the best way to respond!
