Positive Discipline Parenting Tool -  WINNING COOPERATION/GANANDO COOPERACIÓN

11/19/2020

0 Comments

 
Mutual respect is the clue for cooperation. When we ask for cooperation from our children in a kind and respectful way rather than demand it, we find they are much more likely to comply with what we’ve asked. In other words, we get far more cooperation by inviting than demanding (see PD tool #4 - Curiosity Questions).

When we demand by ordering, correcting, and directing, we invite a natural fight or flight response and our chances of winning cooperation greatly decrease. Demands often lead to power struggles, tantrums, distance and hostility. On the other hand, asking respectfully leads to closeness, trust, and cooperation.
​

There are certain things we can do that greatly increase the chances that kids will cooperate with us. Below are the 3 steps to win cooperation:

Positive Discipline Parenting Tool -  FOLLOW THROUGH/CONTINUAR HASTA EL FINAL

11/11/2020

We all agree that healthy limits and boundaries are important, and we are usually pretty good at coming up with rules and consequences. The difficulty comes when we have to enforce what we say. Here is a common example: “If you don’t pick up the toys, they are going in the garbage,”. Toys remain scattered across the floor and parents just can't make themselves put the toys in the garbage.
​

Talking about limits but not actually keeping them is just not helpful to children. Not following through leads to uncertainty, disconnection and even anxiety for both parents and children. Children usually know when parents mean what they say and when they don’t. But, why is it so hard for parents to follow through with consequences? 

Some parents believe that giving children what they want will show them that they are loved.

two-way bilingual immersion Elementary Schools

11/2/2020

​Schools in many parts of the United States are increasingly offering dual language programs. The most common type of dual language programs is the two-way approach, also known as “TWBI” (two-way bilingual immersion). In TWBI programs some of the children are native speakers (in the target language), some are bilingual, and some come from English-only homes. Some programs teach in English for half the day and the other half in the target language (this is called the 50/50 model). Other programs are almost entirely in the target language in kindergarten and first grade (this is called the 90/10 model). The goal is to have all children test at grade level in both languages by fourth grade.
 
Although there are many language combinations, the English/Spanish pair is currently the most popular in our area. You can click here to see a list of Spanish TWBI elementary schools in the South Bay.

    Pasitos School

    Pasitos is an eco-friendly, bilingual community based on learning and fun. Through a play based Reggio inspired curriculum, children gain the necessary literacy skills to make them successful in both Spanish and English. At the same time, they build social and emotional skills in working with peers and the maestras. Together these skills help open their minds and language capabilities. Teachers interact with the children to build strong academics and positive social skills.
