Thanks for sharing, Caroline! I have never heard of Love and Logic, so before responding to you, I checked out their web page. It sounds right up my alley and something I would be very interested in. Have you any personnal contact with them... do you have any additional information you might want to share?
ReplyDeleteI had heard one of the authors speak years ago, and it was quite captivating. I own their book for teaching, and they also have a parenting book, which I have not read but heard very good things about. There are many concepts in this book that are useful in the classroom and I recommend it to anyone interested in creating strong relationships with learners based on the learner's pride and ownership of his or her abilities.
ReplyDeleteI love the Parent2Parent link and the Pre[K]Now link. When I was a parent of young child with a disability, it was difficult to find support and get out to support groups. It is nice that there is a resource for parents that have young children with disabilities. The link provided parents with valuable information. The Pre[K]Now caught my attention. It is a wonderful link that talks about the vision about transforming the public education system. The government is beginning to realize that we need to start teaching the foundational skills before children enter kindergarten. We need to teach three and four year olds. Hopefully, this means the government will put more financial resources toward pre-k programs.

I check out the article about love and logic and I will be making a copy of this for my parents especially my single parents. They are always asking for suggestions.
ReplyDeleteI love your resources, especially Parent to Parent! It in nice to see an organization who helps families emotionally with special needs children. I also loves how is gives helpful advice and information to parents as well.
ReplyDeleteThis week's resources have been very informational. I will most definitely be using them in my everyday teachings to help enhance on my knowledge in the early childhood field.
