Change is hard, and there are ups and downs. During the down cycle in our lives, does it ever help you to be punished or given a consequence? Me neither...we need love, support, and encouragement. Yet, we sometimes do the opposite to kids in schools.
Tired of stopping lessons to deal with behaviors? Tell kids how your class works. Use these “prevention phrases” to keep kids from complaining about what you are doing for others in the class.
This week call / text ur most challenging kid (& parent). Say, “I hope you’re having a great holiday & look forward to seeing u when school starts.” Literally takes 2 min. Reaching kids no one else reaches = doing things others won’t do. Relationships 1st.

Confirmation bias is twisting the facts to fit your beliefs. Critical thinking is bending your beliefs to fit the facts.
Seeking the truth is not about validating the story in your head. It's about rigorously vetting and accepting the story that matches the reality in the world.
