We had a seminar yesterday at Bianca's school and it was a blast....almost all of us parents are having a hard time on how to discipline our grade 5 daughters and the seminar was really what we needed...when we arrived i was surprised that Bianca was one of the usherettes :)
Before starting the seminar...we were asked to write everything that would cause distractions and anything that would make us feel uneasy during the seminar...then we were asked to throw it at the trash bin...and just for the moment give our time and make the most out of the seminar...which really worked :)
Both of us attended the seminar...see Bianca how much we love you
We are having a hard time communicating with our kids so instead of using "You" messages we should use the "I" messages....
example: Bianca please do your assignment.
we should use: Bianca can I see your assignment notebook...
It can really work because the kids would feel that we are involved in the tasks.
Empathy, which literally translates as 'in feeling', is the capability to share and understand another's emotions and feelings. It is often characterized as the ability to "put oneself into another's shoes".
The kids sang for us after the seminar...
Thank you Ms. Amurao for giving this kind of seminar...we hope we can apply everything we learned. Kudos Ma'am!
