Self Control and the Brain
Dec 16
gratitude 2011 march 7-self discipline, self control and awareness today is march 7, 2011 and its the last month in the first quarter of the year and I have got to get my priorities together. my goal is to look at life force international body balance and the smoothie shakedown to get myself off sugar cravings and bread things of that nature. I also will look for homeopathic remedies for children. I will also write a plan to generate an income which will put me one step closer to eliminating debt.
We tried candy but it didn’t work. I think the kids are retarded or ADHD or something.
In reality my wife is the teacher, Im just trying to find answers for her because shes ready to quit.
She said that they are so unresponsive to any kind of punishment or reward, they don’t seem to even listen or understand what they are told. So they dont seem to understand why they are being rewarded or punished.

Ahhh! I’m going nuts with my two toddlers (ages 2 and 3)! They whine so much and rarely follow verbal instructions (the younger one is worse). I try to tell them to use their words, or show me what they want- that I can’t understand them when they’re whining and crying.
When I tell them to get down from a chair, go to time out, or to bed; I have to physically pick them up and make them! This is getting really hard on me because I have back problems. I’m living overseas where the medical care is not good (man I need a chiropractor!), so I have a short fuse with the pain I’m in. When I do lift them, they fight, kick, squirm, and/or stiffen up. What can I do???
Sewey- Ha ha. At first I thought you were joking… but you’ve gone too far. Yes I have a husband- he works unlike you- You abusive lazy fat A 
What is a good positive discipline method for a preschool child with out of control behaviors?
May 12
I am a preschool teacher with a class of 12 4 and 5 year-olds. One of my students, a girl, has been exhibiting very aggressive behaviors (kicking, hitting, screaming) towards teachers and other students when she does not get her way. We have tried several dfferent methods (rewards for good behavior, etc.) to subdue this behavior and replace it with more positive ones, but all have backfired. My frustration level with this child is getting to the breaking point, and it is affecting the entire class. Any ideas? (The parents are aware of the behavior and also see it at home.)
www.PositiveDiscipline. Classroom management challenges are growing as our school systems experience financial cut backs, staffing shortages, larger class size. Managing the classroom in the face of these difficult factors requires new tools and a new openness to creative teaching and discipline strategies. Dr. Jane Nelsen talks about her book Positive Discipline in the Classroom in this video overview. The major difference between Positive Discipline in the Classroom and other forms of classroom management is that Positive Discipline does not include any form of punishment. Punishment is designed to make kids pay for what they done. Positive Discipline teaches kids to focus on solutions. For example, through the use of class meetings, children learn to give compliments and recognize the good in each other. This approach teaches kids how to verbalize what they appreciate about others. This is a wonderful skill that guides students toward solving problems by looking for solutions rather than someone to blame. The Positive Discipline approach in parenting has been around for over 25 years and it has dramatically changed how parents and teachers discipline children in loving and effective ways. Positive Discipline in the Classroom empowers the child and creates a teaching environment that encourages success, communication, and self control. Positive Discipline is not about permissiveness. Positive Discipline is not about punishment. Positive Discipline is not about control …
