Whole Child Development
I am really excited to get started with the Parenting with Positive Guidance classes this Wednesday! I can’t wait to start sharing and discussing some of the best tools for guiding behavior and building internal discipline in our children. It’s not too late to get signed up. Slide on over here to get all the details and get your spot. But before you do that, I wanted to share a little bit of what I shared with Kristina at Toddler Approved:
My fingers have been quite busy lately, making contributions to some other fantastic sources out there in the blogosphere. I wanted to make sure to include you in that audience, so I thought I’d share some links and excerpts here as well.
, I began to make a new connection. As Skill 3 addressed communication as the foundation for real language and literacy development, and Skill 4 focused on making connections as the essence of math sense, following suit, Skill 5 showed critical thinking as the root of real scientific understanding. I have really enjoyed seeing how these larger essential skills have woven in the “academic” skills, not ignoring their importance, but highlighting them with the proper perspective within a larger framework of true knowledge and understanding. Here are some of my favorite takeaways from this chapter:

Have I mentioned how much I love this book? Have I mentioned that I love how it simultaneously opens my eyes to fascinating, new information, but also reconfirms some of my most closely held philosophies and beliefs? Well, now I have.
More than a year has passed since launching my first Ebook, Parenting with Positive Guidance: Tools for Building Discipline from the Inside Out. I’ve been amazed with the response throughout the whole process. I’ve heard from people who have come from abusive childhoods who are looking for another way to raise their children. I’ve heard from people who have come from loving homes who want more support building a loving home of their own. I’ve heard from parents who already believe in the philosophy of positive guidance, but wanted to know what it looks like in action. Bottom line: I’ve heard from good parents who just want to be better. And I’ve been so pleased with the warm way Parenting with Positive Guidance has been received.
The philosophy of positive guidance is one that is often misunderstood. Both by observers and practitioners.
With each chapter, I find myself wondering, “How am I going to whittle down all these things I’ve starred and underlined (and underlined twice) into one concise post?” And then I remind myself that you are hopefully reading along as well, with stars and underlines (and double underlines) as well. I’d love to hear what caught your eye.
