thanks! Here's the #1 secret to caring kids & schools...
Would you like to build kids' confidence, self-esteem, friendship skills, social-emotional intelligence? Would you like to give them essential skills to succeed in school, at home, and in the future? If you would like a surprising new secret to prevent bullying and aggression, read on...
As the lead bilingual Psychometrist for a large school board, I was called in to help with the most difficult dynamics in the school board. One of the girls I met (let's call her Maria) had bullied every single new child mercilessly, including a recent new girl, that I'll call Devi. The first day I met Maria, I went in to observe the class. The moment they went out of the class to get their books from their lockers, children ran back in and said, "Maria just twisted Devi's arm". When we met privately soon afterwards, I told Maria that her new job was to become the Welcoming Team Leader to help new kids feel at home in their new school. I asked about her interests, and found out that she loved to bake cakes more than anything else. With her mother's help, I asked her to bake a cake to welcome Devi. After that, her bullying stopped. Maria even said, "Devi is not bad."
The #1 Secret to Caring Kids & Schools is...
Give children positive self-image to live up to. Start where they are, then raise the bar! From now on, every child is a CARING SUPERSTAR! CARING SUPERSTARS show social-emotional intelligence. Catch them being good! Encourage SUPERSTAR behaviour among children.
You can give these “Superstar” cards (click the pic) to reward children for whatever calm and caring behaviors you want to reinforce, such as self-calming quickly under stress, helping others, completing school work, standing up to bullying, asking for what they need, saying "please" or "thank you", expressing appreciation, listening to the teacher, breathing deeply or taking a break when upset, going to bed on time, sharing, doing chores... etc.!
Each Super Peace Monkey SUPERSTAR card is worth $5 "MonkeyMath Money". You get to decide what $5 MonkeyMath Money is worth (five minutes choice time? Five minutes extra recess? Five minutes playing educational video games at SuperPeaceMonkeys.com? An extra bedtime story? A trip to the park? Saving towards a small toy?) To make these Superstar rewards even more fun and motivating, you can let kids enjoy special rewards, and/or free educational games and prizes at SuperPeaceMonkeys.com , as a reward for earning one or more cards. You can reuse these cards over and over.
If you are a teacher or parent of more than one child, you can encourage cooperation and reward the entire group if they earn a certain number of cards (“if we earn three Superstar cards today, we will all get 5 extra minutes at recess”). For added value, you can write a special note "thank you" note on the back, so they can show it to others, such as their parents or teachers. You can also give them to children to give to their peers, along with thank you notes on the back.
