Download or read book Confident Parents Confident Kids written by Jennifer S. Miller and published by Fair Winds Press. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confident Parents, Confident Kids lays out an approach for helping parents—and the kids they love—hone their emotional intelligence so that they can make wise choices, connect and communicate well with others (even when patience is thin), and become socially conscious and confident human beings. How do we raise a happy, confident kid? And how can we be confident that our parenting is preparing our child for success? Our confidence develops from understanding and having a mastery over our emotions (aka emotional intelligence)—and helping our children do the same. Like learning to play a musical instrument, we can fine-tune our ability to skillfully react to those crazy, wonderful, big feelings that naturally arise from our child’s constant growth and changes, moving from chaos to harmony. We want our children to trust that they can conquer any challenge with hard work and persistence; that they can love boundlessly; that they will find their unique sense of purpose; and they will act wisely in a complex world. This book shows you how. With author and educator Jennifer Miller as your supportive guide, you'll learn: the lies we’ve been told about emotions, how they shape our choices, and how we can reshape our parenting decisions in better alignment with our deepest values. how to identify the temperaments your child was born with so you can support those tendencies rather than fight them. how to align your biggest hopes and dreams for your kids with specific skills that can be practiced, along with new research to support those powerful connections. about each age and stage your child goes through and the range of learning opportunities available. how to identify and manage those big emotions (that only the parenting process can bring out in us!) and how to model emotional intelligence for your children. how to deal with the emotions and influences of your choir—the many outside individuals and communities who directly impact your child’s life, including school, the digital world, extended family, neighbors, and friends. Raising confident, centered, happy kids—while feeling the same way about yourself—is possible with Confident Parents, Confident Kids.

Book excerpt: For success in school and life, students need more than proficiency in academic subjects and good scores on tests; those goals should form the floor, not the ceiling, of their education. To truly thrive, students need to develop attributes that aren’t typically measured on standardized tests. In this lively, engaging book by veteran school leader Thomas R. Hoerr, educators will learn how to foster the “Formative Five” success skills that today’s students need, including Empathy: learning to see the world through others’ perspectives. Self-control: cultivating the abilities to focus and delay self-gratification. Integrity: recognizing right from wrong and practicing ethical behavior. Embracing diversity: recognizing and appreciating human differences. Grit: persevering in the face of challenge. When educators engage students in understanding and developing these five skills, they change mindsets and raise expectations for student learning. As an added benefit, they see significant improvements in school and classroom culture. With specific suggestions and strategies, The Formative Five will help teachers, principals, and anyone else who has a stake in education prepare their students—and themselves—for a future in which the only constant will be change.

Download or read book The Social Emotional Leadership Challenge written by Charcelor (Chase) McCullum and published by . This book was released on 2022-03-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many of us, maintaining balance in terms of our social, emotional, and physical health has become quite the challenge. Some may not even remember the last time they felt like a happy, healthy, and whole individual. This is particularly true for those serving in leadership capacities because work, life, and leading seem to be more stressful than ever. This stress is being felt in every industry/organization and at every level. As a result, leaders are feeling more pressure to keep everything together, which causes even more stress, frustration, and burnout. The cycle is unhealthy, and we all know that when leaders are not socially and emotionally healthy, they do not lead effectively or achieve meaningful results. This book provides leaders (and we are all leaders in some manner) with guidance, support, and hope. The 30 Day Challenge format builds upon an SEL model that has proven to be effective for over 30 years. Researchers have found that Social-Emotional Learning actually improves a variety of outcomes for both children and adults (Casel, 2020). Although research on Adult SEL is still emerging, it is promising and very relevant to the issues of stress, frustration, and burnout facing our workforce. We know that adults take their cues from their leaders. Therefore, it is necessary for those leaders to possess and exhibit strong social and emotional skills; not only for their own well-being but in order to foster social-emotional and leadership skills whenever and wherever they lead. It's time to take the challenge and grow as an individual and as a leader.
