7 Mindsets Curriculum - Parent Info for November

The We Are Connected Mindset teaches us that everyone who comes into our lives can help us to

achieve and live our dreams. Working with, for, and through others is crucial to realizing our dreams.

When you understand this and constantly seek the positives from relationships with others, your

performance in every area of your life improves. In the lessons for this mindset, we help students

explore synergies with others, embrace diversity, and relish the competition that will allow them to

maximize their potential by working with and through others.

Behavior Tip

Strategies for handling oppositional and defiant behaviors in middle-aged students (best practice):

Recognize a child's positive behaviors and praise them when you see them.
Model the behaviors (especially when YOU are emotional!) you want to see in the child - children learn and imitate what they see over and over again.
Pick your battles - reacting to every single negative behavior can be exhausting for you and dangerous for the child! Decide in advance what "deal breakers" are you for!
Set clear and consistent limits - oppositional behaviors thrive in gray areas or when there is a constant change in our response to them!
Make predictable routines and foreshadow any changes in those routines as much as you can.
Do not engage in "last word" dynamics. NOBODY WINS!
Avoid "nuclear level" punishments such as, "You're grounded for a month!" these often have minimal impact on children with oppositional-type behaviors.
Walking away when it's safe and when you do not have control of your emotions is ALWAYS a fail-safe option. It's entirely okay to walk away and come back to a situation to address it when you are more calm and under control!
