Research consistently finds that giving students letter or number grades leads them to think less deeply, avoid challenging tasks, and become less enthusiastic about whatever they’re learning – and that’s true for those who get A’s as well as D’s. Similarly, making children work what amounts to a second shift after having spent all day in school not only proves frustrating but also turns learning into a chore. Surprisingly, claims that homework enhances understanding or promotes better work habits are contradicted by both research and experience. Rather than trying to tweak the details of how students are graded, or how much (or even what kind of) homework they’re assigned, Kohn argues that we need to ask whether the practices themselves really make sense.     Positive Discipline by Jane Nelsen Paperback         Qty 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Price AUD $ 27.95   Jacket Description/Back: All parents try to do their best - but the best of intentions don't always produce the best results. Dr. Jane Nelsen, an experienced psychologist, educator, and mother, believes that children misbehave when they feel thwarted in their need to belong and in their need for love and attention. An authoritative approach, using phrases like 'Because I said so!', will only lead to rebellious behavior. Instead, parents need basic principles that bring them and their children closer. They need Positive Discipline. Dr. Nelsen explains that parents who use kindness and firmness to teach life skills will encourage self-respect, self-discipline, cooperation, good behavior, and problem-solving skills in their children. In Positive Discipline, revised and updated for the '90s, she shows all of us, parents and teachers alike, exactly how her practical program works - answering, step-by-step, such important questions as: What works better than punishment to teach children positive, good behavior? What mistakes do most parents make in the name of love? How can parents turn their mistakes into assets? How can praise be dangerous? What are the dangers of trying to be Super Mom? How can teachers avoid discipline problems in the classroom?     Positive discipline for Preschoolers: for the Early Years - Raising Children who are Responsible; Respectful and Resourceful by Jane Nelsen Paperback         Qty 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Price AUD $ 33.95   Publisher Marketing: Caring for young children is one of the most challenging tasks an adult will ever face.
