Literacy Circle: Mindful Discipline

Course Number
CS11: 10
Overview
In this literacy circle, we will embark on a transformative journey through the pages of "Connections Over Compliance" by Lori Desautels. In this captivating exploration, we will dive into the world of neuroscience, unlocking its secrets in ways that are both understandable and immediately applicable to our lives, whether we're educators, parents, or simply humans seeking meaningful connections. Desautels' book is a powerful guide that challenges conventional wisdom, offering fresh perspectives on discipline and behavior management. By rewiring our perceptions, we will shift from traditional methods of disciplining to fostering genuine connections with children. As Desautels eloquently puts it, discipline is not something imposed upon another; it is something we aim to create within them. During literacy circle sessions, we will engage in thoughtful discussions, exploring the neuroscience concepts presented in the book and discovering how they can be practically integrated into our personal and professional lives. We will explore user-friendly ideas and strategies, enabling us to connect with children on a profound level. Through shared insights, reflections, and interactive activities, we will learn to nurture empathy, understanding, and compassion in our interactions with others. Together, we will explore how these principles can be applied in various contexts, fostering positive relationships and creating supportive environments where everyone can thrive.
Objective
