Pinterest Find :: Discipline Without Shame

little boy cryingI love Pinterest for the creative, crafty, organizational things, but I also love it because it gives me the chance to stumble across interesting blogs and articles I wouldn’t normally get to read.  I was really excited when I found this blog post – it highlights so many of the points I try to make to teachers when we’re brainstorming how best to help a tricky kid. I especially love the “not taking things personally.” As a teacher (or parent), the moment a child “loses it” or starts to challenge us, it is REALLY hard not to! Even though this post was written originally for toddlers, I think school staff could take a lot from it!

I would summarize it for you, but it probably wouldn’t do the original justice, so head on over there and give it a read!

Happy February, Everyone! If you’re looking for a cute Valentine’s Day activity for your kids with social or pragmatic language difficulties, hop on over to my TpT store and pick this one up (it is free, after all!)

It contains 32 different cards (with decorative card backs) that have a conversation starter. Then, it’s up to your kids to figure out what would come next in an appropriate situation. The cards can be laminated and written on with dry erase marker, or you could play a game and make it a contest to see who can get the most correct.
