Here's a quick guide to my blog that coincides with the workshop sheet suggestions for getting started and implementing Workshop #1 principles into your home.
I've included posts of how it's looked in my own--both the flops and the successes
Remember the 3 Core Elements
Chose 1 basic issue per child (academic or behaviour) and simply start mediating there.
Read Your handouts and learn more about how the brain learns
ASK,ASK,ASK. Ask process questions--find out what they are thinking?
Wait a l-o-o-o-n-g time for your child to answer(5 seconds or more) patiently and pleasantly
Do the Human Figure drawing regularly, weekly or bi-weekly--discuss it with your child
Play logic/strategy games, do puzzles, brain benders with your children often
Talk about your history/ethnic background and include family traditions. This helps your child know who they are and whose they are and facilitates a sense of belonging.
Appreciate your children's differences. Include different activities.
Discuss the reasons behind activity/behaviours--the underlying theme, pattern, principles
Focus on steps forward NOT failures-no sarcasm or anger
