Adharshila Learning Centre Sudbury Valley School • About Us. FAQ A Bird's Eye View of Sudbury Valley n the spring of 2000, Mimsy Sadofsky was interviewed by Dr. Daria Brezinksy on her live radio show, "Children Come First" (see www.rlc.net/prokids). An audiotape of the interview is available from The Sudbury Valley School Press. Daria: How did this school begin, when did it begin, and for what reason? Mimsy: The school began in 1968. Daria: So learning for children, quantitatively speaking, has to do with meaning in your estimation – the meaning and the relevance of everyday life – rather than subjects that are irrelevant to whatever is happening concurrently in a child's life. Mimsy: Yes. Daria: Describe for us some of the things that are happening around the school. Mimsy: They're playing basketball and riding bikes and reading books. Daria: Your facility is a very large large house, and there are grounds. Mimsy: It's a beautiful place. Mimsy: Well, that is a little hard to do since English and mathematics don't really need specific areas.

Naomi Aldort - Parenting Advice, Attachment Parenting, Family Guidance How To Go Diaper Free With Your Baby - Raised Good Are you considering trying elimination communication (EC) with your baby? Congratulations! You’ve already taken the hardest step – opening your mind and embracing an alternative to diapers. Modern parenthood has become synonymous with the burden of poopy diapers and babies’ bottoms with rashes and infections. EC offers a natural, gentle and logical approach to taking care of our babies’ needs. But, chances are you don’t know anybody who’s practiced EC with their babies. There’s no right answer to this question. Some say there is a golden window of opportunity from 0-4 months in which it’s easiest to start EC. Andrea Olsen, of Go Diaper Free, has written two age specific books which take this into consideration. Here’s a short list of a few things you need to get started with EC: Baby Potty – most potties are designed for older toddlers so you’ll need to find a potty for small babies. Natural timing. Diaper-free time. Learning signals. Introduce cues. Trust your instincts.

SelfDesign Global | Nurturing the Love of Learning Švietimas: individualaus, laisvo, privataus link Šiame scenarijuje aptariamos dabartinės švietimo sistemos problemos ir siūloma, kaip jas spręsti, siekiant gerinti švietimo sistemą ir priartinti prie sistemos, grindžiamos privačia iniciatyva ir rinkos dėsniais. Scenarijaus autoriai – Lietuvos laisvosios rinkos instituto prezidentas Žilvinas Šilėnas ir ekspertas Emilis Ruželė . Kaip manote, ar kuriant tokią švietimo sistemą, grindžiamą privačia iniciatyva, lyderiai būtų reikalingi? Juk galima teigti, kad, vadovaujantis rinkos dėsniais, daug ką nulemia būtent jie... Emilis: Kaip tik priešingai. Laisva, privačia iniciatyva grįsta švietimo sistema yra pati geriausia terpė rastis naujoms mokymosi formoms ir turiniui, inovatyvumui. Pateikiate privačia iniciatyva ir rinkos dėsniais grindžiamą švietimo sistemos viziją... Emilis: Teisė į mokslą yra graži idėja tik iš pirmo žvilgsnio. Žilvinas: Nerimastingos mintys paremtos nesusišnekėjimu tarp ekonomistų ir tų, kurie vartoja ekonomikos sąvokas nesuvokdami jų prasmės. Dėkojame „Lyderių laikas 2“

3 Steps that Transform Sibling Conflict into Sibling Camaraderie None of these have been as effective, efficient, and satisfying to me (or to them!) as the method described below, a family-friendly adaptation of Dominic Barter's award winning Restorative Circles, which go by many different names around the world and are called Micro-Circles in our family. What I love about the micro-circle method is that: (a) it is fast and present-oriented - usually 6-10 minutes (b) it is empowering for those involved - By engaging participants in hearing each other and creating their own solutions, you decrease both the sense of helplessness (we don't know how to solve this) - and powerlessness (we don't have choice in how things are gonna go) - which often result from having a third party (even a well-meaning one) be judge and jury to one's conflict. (d) it is another way to live what I now believe to be the Most Important Thing to Know About Conflict Your tools for this phase are: "What do you want Listener to know?" "Is that it?"
