Living
and Working with Children is a resource for helping parents,
teachers, and other care-givers learn about how children develop and behave. I will facilitate discussion on common issues
and childhood milestones, drawing from over 20 years of experience working with
children, adolescents, and adults through various stages of life. The blog will discuss the origin or goal of
children's behavior as well as offer suggestions for addressing behavior
challenges. These suggestions may work
with one child and not another or with one sibling and not the other or with
one child at one time and not at another time with the same child. You may or may not agree with the suggestions
and that is perfectly alright.
This blog is written in a question and answer dialogue
based on the questions of a young friend who is very interested in human
development. My friend who is referred
to as Questioner has supplied many of
the questions, inquiries and concerns as encountered on her exploration of
human development.
I hope that you will join the dialogue as we discuss
the complex challenges that parents and care-givers face as they help children
grow into successful adults. The intent
for the blog is to provide a format for sharing ideas, thoughts and experiences
about living and working together with children in this continually changing world. The blog is meant to be a tool for parents,
teachers and other caregivers and a place to share experiences and suggestions
for unleashing children's unlimited potential.
