Month: October 2020

Today, we will discuss the most common challenge that teachers face. Often, the reason why teachers have trouble with the Positive Discipline approach, is that they’re concentrating on the kindness part so hard that they’re forgetting about being firm AT THE SAME TIME.

We’re very excited to announce, that last Monday our academy staff underwent our first intensive training with a Certified Positive Discipline Educator, psychologist, and ICF certified solution-focused life coach, Lilia Shifrin lilia.shifrin.coach.

In each classroom of our Learning Tree Academy, we plan to create care settings where children can develop a sense of belonging and significance based on the importance and mutual respect.

With continuous support from our facilitator Lilia, we will try to use any situation, even a difficult one, as an opportunity to learn. As Positive Discipline teaches, connection always comes before correction, focus on the long-term teaching (rather than short-term problems) and use kindness AND firmness at the same time (balance is a key!).

Thank you, Lilia Shifrin, for your time, knowledge, energy, and obvious love for kids (that we all wholeheartedly share). Your passion for positive discipline is contagious! We are happy to get to know you and looking forward to our future collaborations!
