In my opinion, the most influential speaker at convention was Jill Molli. She is an associate of Dr. Becky Bailey, the founder of Conscience Discipline.
I will share some of the ideas in the coming weeks, through this blog. I hope you will find the information as beneficial as I did. We will be implementing some of the ideas into the Kindermusik classroom, as well, so I will model some of the ideas there.
The brain can be divided into three parts. The front, middle, and lower part of the brain. Jill compares these parts to a car:
Front part of the brain= front seat (in control, calm, reasonable)
Middle part of the brain- back seat (sarcastic, sassy, on edge, impatient)
Lower part of the brain= trunk (anger, aggressive, irrational)
People CANNOT learn when they are in the trunk. NO learning takes place when children are functioning in the lower center of the brain. So, it is our job to teach them how to use the front part of the brain and work in the driver's seat, where learning can take place.
Are you interested in learning more? Stay tuned...
