Things we n

ever

say to adults

!

Dreams and Expectations• Henry David Thoreau 

If one advances confidently in the direction of one's dreams, and endeavors to live the life which one has imagined, one will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

• Horace   (65 – 8 BC)Life is largely a matter of expectation.

• Sam WaltonHigh expectations are the key to everything.

Child is allowed to be annoying

Adults are put out or frustrated

Child identifies with the adult

Poor Self Image and antiauthoritarian Our

Culture: The Child Centered Home

He tattles.

Can’t teach em to sit up straight

He’s a bully & won’t listen

He feels so helpless

He’s looking to us to come up with some answers

A kid brings a “clock” to school.

I really like him…..

I think he is struggling

Our Expectations drive our perceptions!

Contracting with Parents

Some are educable, some need therapy

No one cares what we think, till they think we know what they think!

Would you like some thoughts/ideas NOT advice/suggestions

I have found some parents receptive, and some not. How do you feel?

Tell me what you have done so we know what doesn’t work.

Have you tried everything that makes sense?

If I have in idea that will work, how do you think it will sound?

Show vs. Tell

“Your mom and I have been doing some heavy thinking……”

1) Are you unhappy?

2) Are you partially responsible?

3) Do you want to change that?

4) Do you want to work hard?

5) Do you want to work hard my way?

Contract for Change…..

Must have a “yes” on each before moving on

Dr. Cline’s Rules for Rescue

1) It’s seldom effective to go more than half way for a problem people have caused themselves.

2) Rescue is ineffective if there is no thank you

3) In our culture, rescue (even with poor results) if life and limb are in danger

1) Every attempt to maintain mutual respect.

2) Students expected to solve their problems without making problems for others.

3) Students are expected to cope with consequences

4) Students are expected to learn from logical consequences.

5) Students are given the right of due process.

6) School problems handled by school; Criminal problems by law enforcement.

Love and Logic Core Discipline
