Seeing.....

Discipline is not Punishment..know the difference!!

Models...

Strength based....thoughts...

Positive youth development  focuses on the broader developmental needs of young people in contrast to deficit-based models which simply focus on problems.

This quote has helped remind me of what it is I am doing:

“Helping, fixing, and serving

represent three different ways of seeing life.

When you help, you see life as weak.

 When you fix, you see life as broken.

When you serve, you see life as whole.

Fixing and helping may be the work of the ego,

and service the work of the soul.”

― Rachel Naomi Remen

Education must be personal...

“Never let the demands

 of your job or the curriculum

cause you to forget

that each one of your students

 is a feeling-thinking human being.

 For education to be effective

 it must be personal."

 --George Isaac Brown
