Conventional and time-honored practices may offer techniques for temporarily controlling the behaviors of children and teens, but they may also be the very thing that escalates problems in classrooms and at home. Cultivating Respect and Cooperation contains 21 steps that parents, teachers, tutors, coaches, and counselors can use to meet the needs of our modern classrooms and families. It is a systematic and cumulative approach that motivates children and teens to address problem behaviors and develop: 1) respect and cooperation, 2) executive functions and metacognition, such as self-monitoring, planning, logic, and organization, 3) personal responsibility, self-discipline, motivation, and character, 4) courage, confidence, resiliency, and trust, and 5) authentic connections for mutual understanding. Each chapter includes a lesson with metaphors and perspectives you can share to create paradigm shifts in children and teens. In turn, students gain increased awareness that leads to constructive insight, self-monitoring, and improvement of their executive functions. In the process, you begin to re-pattern the way you and your children think, talk, and act. The author's goal is to empower parents and teachers to connect with children of all abilities, as well as the joys of teaching and parenting.
