And it's not just parents who don't always 'get it'- it's teachers, too.<br /><br />I'm delighted that you feel you can use what I write- that's why I'm here!Aunt Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08799746597313773030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5189220758768300295.post-66193883521131997112011-09-23T18:51:18.262+10:002011-09-23T18:51:18.262+10:00Annie, I love this, it's great, I really agree...Annie, I love this, it's great, I really agree and take my hat off to your courage in stating that being consistent isn't the be all and end all. Have you read Thomas Gordon's Parenting Effectiveness Training or Teacher Effectiveness Training, he also explains this concet very well, as does Eleanor Reynolds (early childhood teacher) in "Guiding Young Children". I'm a parent educator (also do pd in ECE centres) and I've come to know which concepts are harder for parents to really understand and this is one of them, as well as the difference between natural consequences and enforced consequences. <br /><br />I love what you write and how you write it, you're one of my resources that I'm delighted to have to share with early childhood teachers and parents, thanks for being you and your love and advocacy for the child's needs.Genevieve @The Way of the Peaceful Parenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06124487770990867351noreply@blogger.com
