Don't react..... Respond!

Desmond79

Responding means retaining rationalism, and a calm Adult manner. 

Reacting means becoming over-emotional and Childish.

The problem with today's society is the obsession with Adults remaining Child-like. We have to grow up, and take responsibility for our actions. I, personally, had to figure that out for myself.

Not enough skills are taught in Schools. It's up to the Parents to teach them. 

Parents

  • Sometimes parents teach them all the skills and a young person can usually do the right thing, then with the pressure of school the red mist descends and they do something out of character as a reaction to something someone else does. 

    I understand that some parents need guidance, but others feel terrible when something goes wrong in school. All they can do then is try to support to prevent that happening again and prevent another suspension. This is especially difficult when parents have expended huge amounts of energy and anguish to get them to school each day.
