Teachers may not be child psychologists, but they sure know kids.
Their day-to-day activities, likes and dislikes, attitudes and behaviours…
And they’ve often got good insights into where their behaviours come from.
A recent article in The Guardian revealed how teachers might sometimes understand more about your kids than you realise.
This author of the article — a school principal in the UK — has identified a number of strategies we often use in our work with children and parents.
There’s no denying that with all the joys of parenthood there can also be a lot of stress and frustration.
Temper tantrums, complaints and demands… It’s understandable this would try any parent’s patience.
And sometimes the result is an angry outburst.
But unfortunately anger directed towards your child can have a very negative impact on your relationship with them and on their own temperament.
And it can also encourage more acting out or misbehaving.
So how can we better manage our own emotions when it comes to parenting challenges?
