I recently finished reading Brene Brown's book Dare to Lead. A book on how we as humans need to be both vulnerable and courageous in order, learn, love and grow. Although the book was written for adults, the message that she shares that is based on her many years of recent is just as relevant in the workplace as it is in the classroom and in the home. Along with her books, Brene also has a great website where she shares inspirational list and manifestos. The following link will take you to her Whole Hearted Parenting Manifesto.
How do we help children focus? Today more than ever children are faced with distractions and are becoming less and less focused. I recently completed my own study on how to help children focus. The research project was based on focusing in on the brain body connection incorporating cross body exercises, reflection, and purposeful practice of much needed cognitive skills. You can find the link to my research paper here FOCUS One favorite activity that came out of this was double doodle, here is a photo of what youngsters do during double doodle. To find out more view my research paper.
