“Sharon’s Effective Discipline presentation has helped to make each GPA conference she has spoken at a success! She is always knowledgeable, organized and prepared! Sharon, you are so talented!” ~Terry Graham
Here is just a sampling of educator’s responses:
“I learned so many wonderful things from Sharon’s presentation! I’m a musician and can teach all things music, but discipline I struggle with. Thank you Sharon!”
“I really loved this session. It really opened my eyes on how to better deal not only with my emotions when kids get upset at school but with my own kids. I especially liked the idea of creating a safe classroom environment for the kids; how to guide them and best ways to communicate so the child is able to listen and then learn.”
“It was so valuable and interesting to focus on Responding vs. Reacting and to realize that I react more than I respond. I will be working on this starting on Monday!”
“Listen, acknowledge, and validate”
“It was powerful to learn that how we discipline determines what the kids learn and if their behavior will change. If connection and relationship are missing the discipline will not be effective.”
“I loved Sharon’s suggestions for dealing with disruptive kids in the classroom”
I loved the Iceberg visual–very helpful!!! This is already giving me ideas on how to better handle some of my students!”
“That to children, we should be like a ‘duck on the water’ – appearing to be calm even if we are not.
“Useful techniques when dealing with a confrontational child”
“Connection and relationships are key – leads to more cooperative behavior”
“This was my favorite workshop of the day! I learned strategies on how to avoid the power struggle and implement healthy and effective ways to deal with misbehavior.”
“I learned so much! Neutralizing the arguing; say what you see; that empathy helps the child link poor decisions with the consequences of actions.”
“Kids need to be noticed, I love the “I notice that you…” statement. It is so powerful!”
