Last night Carolina Day hosted Kirk and Casey the father-son team from Celebrate Calm. I'll be honest, I was not exactly excited about going to a workshop on a Monday evening. I must say I am so glad I went. Not only did they give GREAT advice, they were very entertaining. They were able to use humor and honesty to approach some tough scenarios that we as teachers, parents, etc. face each day. It challenged me to do some self reflection on my own personal management.
Kirk offered excellent suggestions for breaking the (unsuccessful) cycles we sometimes fall into with kids who are oppositional, have difficulty managing energy, or have difficulty with social situations. Casey offered the perspective of the child who has these struggles and what did and did not work for him growing up.
They have a series of videos which I highly recommend- but if you get the chance to see them live take advantage of it.
Here is their website: http://celebratecalm.com/
