Nobel-prize winning economist, James Heckman has said – “It is imperative to change the way we look at education. We should invest in the foundation of school readiness from birth to age 5.” “Some kids win the lottery at birth; far too many don’t—and most people have a hard time catching up over the rest of their lives. Children raised in disadvantaged environments are not only much less likely to succeed in school or in society, but they are also much less likely to be healthy adults.”
Head Start(https://www.nhsa.org), and other early childhood programs that promote school readiness, are so vital.
Thank you for all you do for the children in your community. To help celebrate Head Start Awareness month—please also consider sharing the importance of early childhood education programs in your community. #nhsa, #activeparentingleaders, #parentingeducation, #parenteducators, #activeparenting, #firstfiveyears

🔑Week 27 of Doc Pop's 52 Weeks of Active Parenting - Handle Temper Tantrums with Grace - Parents, as we all know, aren’t the only ones in the family to sometimes blow their stack and mishandle anger. Kids have also been known to throw a wide variety of tantrums either out of frustration or to just get their own way. In this era of zero tolerance for violence in school, the wise parent (and even the wiseguy parent who doesn’t want his child to get expelled from preschool) will take the time to teach his child how to manage his temper. A few basic family rules enforced with some consistent logical consequences are a good start. Doc Pop explains in this week's video. #activeparenting, #parenting, #docpops52weeksofactiveparenting, #DocPop, #tempertantrum

🔑Doc Pop's 52 Weeks of Active Parenting - Week 26 - Your Temper: Use it, Don't Loose It - The more your child glares at you, the angrier you get. The more you act angry, the more defiant she gets. The more she digs her heels in, the more you feel you’re going to blow your top! Sound familiar? This is a classic power struggle. The way out is to remove yourself from the fight. The renowned psychiatrist Rudolf Dreikurs had an almost foolproof method. Just take a deep breath and say these magic words: “I’m going to the bathroom.” Then walk to the nearest bathroom and stay there until you both calm down. You might keep a copy of this book in there, too, so that you can reread the sections on discipline and figure out how to use your temper constructively when you come out.

🔑Week 25 of Doc Pop's 52 Weeks of Active Parenting - Use a Positive "I" Message to Encourage Positive Behavior - When people of any age become discouraged, their behavior becomes less productive or even downright negative, and they may give up altogether.

🔑Week 23 - Doc Pop's 52 Weeks of Active Parenting - Logical Consequences vs. Punishment - The difference between logical consequences and punishment is that they are logically connected to the misbehavior rather than arbitrary. After all, what does sitting in the corner have to do with coloring on the walls? When we connect the consequence logically to the misbehavior, kids not only are more likely to see the justice in our actions, but they learn to be responsible for the consequences of their actions. Doc Pop explains in this weeks video. This is another important aspect of discipline we teach in Active Parenting. #parentingleaders, #parentingeducation, #parenting, #parenteducator, #parents, #activeparenting, #discipline, #disciplinetechnique
