Alfie Kohn once said, “...the fact is that kids learn to make good decisions by making decisions, not by following directions.” Following directions is always the best decision. But what if it’s okay to be inaccurate? As children, we always make mistakes. That’s why there’s something called a lesson to guide us along the way. To teach us right from wrong. As parents, the words “because I am your parent” are used about an extreme amount to prove a point. And it usually works.. But children are…

Good writing to me means that as soon as you start reading you get intrigued, and it makes you want to read more. In order for that to work though you have to have good grammar, spelling, and punctuation. You have to make your words stand out and flow all together for it all to become a great piece of writing.

It is proven time and time again that establishing an authoritative parenting style is the only way in which this fine balance can…

Learning Styles We as people are very different and unique. One thing that sets us apart is our learning styles, we each learn more in a different way.

It is beneficial for me to understand my preferred learning styles because it allows me to properly assess my habits and strategies towards learning. From there, I can make specific changes in my behavior to accommodate my learning style or adjust for a more balanced one. A balanced learning style is good to have because it means I’m more adaptable and I don’t struggle in certain teaching environments. Having a moderate preference isn’t a bad thing either because I can still excel greatly in the…
