Children are not things to be molded, but people to be unfolded. Each enters this world with their very own set of “designer genes.” These genes influence how each child relates, acts and interacts with the environment that surrounds him or her. It boggles my mind to think we have somehow become a culture so obsessed with how children perform and who we believe they must become that we have lost sight of who they are and what they are experiencing each day. The over emphasis on performance, data and outcomes has become a trigger to dis-regulation, according to a Harvard University study. This segment begins with self-reflection on our behavioral style to identify potential biases and examines ways to adjust our practices to honor the “designer genes” of each child we interact with each day. We will entertain the neuroscience and strategies that supports the “right” expectations for each child.

Behaviors that challenge us are a function of the interaction between a child’s nature and the demands of an environment. When working with these behaviors, the only sound type of discipline is self-discipline. So how do we develop a comprehensive system that is anchored in sound principles, protects a child’s dignity, and achieves self-discipline? This session examines an approach that transcends traditional behavior management techniques based in coercion and embraces an approach that empowers others through our influence.

Social change has been building slowly to one that idealizes the worth, dignity and autonomy of the individual, over community. It emphasizes rights and entitlement more than responsibility; freedom more than commitment and loyalty. This has resulted i a general rebellion against authority, an increase in the destruction of property, and the erosion of values, including but not limited to respect, honesty, diligence, and compassion. This session examines the how to teach the values that are so desperately needed in today’s society.

In the year 2000, the national mandate became “all children will enter school ready to learn.” The national goals panel adopted this mantra as its first in the education reform movement and defined school readiness as mastery of a pre-determined set of skills. Current research in the field of neuroscience has identified that readiness begins in the womb and is determined in large measure by the early life experiences and the environment a child lives and grows in. Readiness does not happen at the same time or in the same way for all children. This session examines school readiness from the point of conception through the period of school adjustment.
