Hi Everyone,
I’m pleased to announce that the next Tele Class will start on April 15th, and run for six Sundays. The current class filled up, and I’ve had quite a bit of interest in this next class already, so don’t wait, if you’re interested.
If you’re new to my site, you may be wondering what Tele Class is. It’s a six-week course that is truly multi-media, with conference calls, video footage, readings, and online discussion. The way it goes is this: each week has a topic, and before the class you go online and read my thoughts on that topic. Then each Sunday we have the ‘class’ by conference call, where we watch video footage of me with the kids at Rainbow Bridge, stopping frequently for comments and questions. At the end of each class I give an assignment (usually ‘try this at home and report back how it goes’), and people report back twice during the week on how the assignment is going. For me, the online discussion is my favorite part of the class: it’s inspiring to hear when things go well for people, and when things don’t go well people get support as other class members give ideas of things they’ve tried, and of course I offer suggestions as well.

Warmly, ~Miss Faith
I’ve talked before about how it benefits children when we have clear expectations and firm boundaries, and how it is reassuring to children to know that we are in charge. I’ve talked about how having regular schedules and doing things the same way each time can help cut down on discipline issues and allow children to develop expertise. But even when we do all of these things, issues are bound to arise. One of the main tasks of the toddler is to establish their own opinions.
