Consistently Fit

From a parents perspective it is critical to deal with their child using rules and regualtions and compassion and understanding. From an adult child's perspective the same needs to be accomplished with our parents and visa versa. From the schools perspective at times parents have to be managed like one of the kids. From all perspectives everyone needs to ge consistently fit. The young parents of today need parenting. Parents who have left home as young adults with a rebellious attitude may not even be speaking with their own parents. They have lost their perception of right and wrong behaviors and sometimes even simple decisions are tough. It’s these parents that will try to bully you as the teacher and the school. They don’t have the ability to cooperate when they disagree and can wreak havoc on the school and your classroom. These parents need to be agreed with immediately. You heard right; agreed with. But, agree in principal, not with the content. Let them know that you can see things from their perspective, but work with them to see things from the same perspective. Instead of a tug of war, move to their side of the rope. Or better yet, let go of the rope. Ease into conversations with these parents and begin to lose your fear of being yelled at. Be an empathic listener, and don’t argue. They need to be taught, and you are going to do it. Read More...

These insights can be used by anyone in education as a survival guide and it will help them with the onslaught of disrespect and irresponsibility that we see in students, parents, and yes at times some of our colleagues. We all need a new voice, a new outlook, and a new approach; truthfully we need hope, the hope for change The teaching profession today isn’t attracting people it’s driving them off. Student behavior, lofty expectations that are imposed governmentally, parents who have grown physically, but emotionally are still whining and arguing for the weaknesses of their children.

It was pretty easy to do because I had a pretty good natural resource in the house and that was my daughter Zoe.

I encourage everyone to listen to this one because we will all learn something. Thanks to Andi Kay for the packet we used.

The Spiritual Dimension Of Life Proverbs 30: 17 KJV "The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it." What does this mean in very practical terms? If an individual grows up in life with a mocking and contemptible attitude toward their father and despises to obey their mother they will lose their perception on right and wrong behaviors and even the smallest decisions that need to be made will create confusion in their life. Our relationships with our parents can determine future success for ourselves and as we mature for our families. Honor Your Father and Your Mother is the first commandment that has a blessing attached to it: “That you will live a long full life.” NLT. As we mature the imprint from our upbringing can affect the relationship that should mean the most to us; the one with our parents. When we mock our father and despise our mother we lose our perception on life and may miss many of the blessings that God has for us. Take advantage of the FREE journal linked below.
