Cool Mom Talking About Separation

Just wanted to share this book, I recently came about by Nancy Balaban. It's called Everyday Goodbyes. The reason? Well, its for those of you teachers or parents who have been in the same issue as Cool Mom. Separation can be tough (if you've been there, you know it). However, I and other bloggers shared our best material with her and it sounds like it has worked.

Check out the book...it's a keeper.

Guidance Matters. Swearing and Words That Hurt

http://journal.naeyc.org/btj/200711/pdf/BTJGuidance.pdf
Dan Gartrell does a great job talking about one of those "sticky" situations that we have ALL been in....We don't want to discourage the communication taking place, but geez does it have to be that/those word(s).

Parents-isn't it funny that they always seem to pick up those words of all things?

Gartrell gives us some great examples of children's use of and response to these words and both's impact on children...

Share your experiences and how you've responded in the past to inappropriate language use in the classroom or at home.
