Terrific and important article What's Gotten Into Kids These Days? by Sue Shellenberger in today's Wall Street Journal. What's going on? Why is it happening? I do not agree with some of the information in the article but that's too long to go into here.
It is a major issue that we work on with clients here at Daily Life Coaching 4 Kids (http://www.dailylifeconsulting.com) in our Life Skills for Children and one which, if addressed early on doesn't have to escalate to the point where it interferes with children's learning and education.
I very much agree that "teachers also benefit from access to mental-health or behavioral consultants" and we do work with schools and programs, and individual teachers who come on their own for educator coaching. I believe that teachers should have some background in psychology and have access to mental health and behavioral consultants.
Having been there myself, I will tell you that I truly believe that teaching young children is one of the toughest, toughest jobs in the world. It is also amazingly rewarding.
Coaching Tips on this topic will follow next week. If you'd like more information on our Life Skills for Children coaching, workshops, seminars (and online classes which are coming soon) please contact me rebecca at dailylifeconsulting dot com or jill at gtkgroup dot com.
Enjoy the day,
