Delivering Constructive Feedback Doesn't Have to Be Painful | Your Voice of Encouragement - 1 views

  • 1.  Describe the behavior – What specifically is the person doing or not doing? 2.  Share your reaction – how you feel about it 3.  Explain the impact of their actions 4.  State what you’d like this person to do in the future – what you want 
  • Give the person a chance to respond and commit to making the change. If there are issues to discuss, you've increased the chances of both parties being honest and open. This approach strengthens your relationship with that individual and you can feel good about the way you handled the situation.
  •  
    "When you give feedback the right way, you focus on the behavior, not the person. There's a simple 4-step process that works well. It helps you stay calm and use language that makes it more likely the person will listen to your message."

Teaching self-control: Evidence-based tips - 0 views

  • What works better is praise for effort, and feedback that encourages kids to try different strategies (“Can you think of another way to do it?”)
  • Planning is an important component of self-discipline
  • Any time we ask kids to play by the rules, we’re encouraging them to develop self-control. But some games are more challenging than others.

  • kids benefit when parents talk to them about their feelings, show empathy, and discuss constructive ways to cope
  • Experimental studies suggest we can help these kids improve their working memory skills with practice. Computer-based training programs ask kids to pay attention to new information and repeat it back.
  • music training can boost a child's ability to inhibit inappropriate responses
  • When parents are too controlling, or enforce discipline with threats and harsh punishments, kids may lose important opportunities to regulate themselves.
  • harsh parenting tactics predict child aggression and other behavior problems
  •  
    To get along in the classroom, kids need to pay attention, follow directions, stay motivated, and control their impulses. So we might expect self-control to play an important role in academic achievement. Recent studies support the idea.

Of serendipity, introverts and extroverts, social media and shooting the ambu... - 0 views

  • here’s been a lot of talk recently about introverts vs. extroverts and the fact that social media seem to stifle the participation of the not-so-socially-comfortable among us
  • blogs really do encourage slow thinking space and offer a place of choice for thinkers
  • blogging and perhaps to a lesser extent other social media interactions change the way we think and write, but I think for the better
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • social media are all about the network you build and interact with. Regardless of its size
  • criticising social media for sidelining introverts is like shooting at the ambulance: it is targeting the channel not the person using it, it is misguided, over-simplified, not to mention the strait-jacketting it suggests, by putting all introverts and extroverts in one same bag

    ".. there's been a lot of talk recently about introverts vs. extroverts and the fact that social media seem to stifle the participation of the not-so-socially-comfortable among us. In my sphere, it all started around a few articles on team building, creativity and introverts.."

Build your stress fitness - Health & Wellbeing - 0 views

  • But just as physical fitness gives you greater endurance when you're running around, "stress fitness" makes you more resistant to the negative effects of excessive pressures and demands, says Sydney psychologist Sarah Edelman. And it's something we can all develop if we work at it.
  •  
    You can't avoid stress, but there is much you can do to help build resilience to the toxic pressures of everyday life.
