WYSTERIA EDWARDS | WAITING FOR MR. ROGERS ... WHAT CAN THIS STUDENT TEACH ME?

Are you an educator who finds yourself triggered by a person, event or action? Self-awareness has a profound impact on the teaching journey when we empower educators to reflect on the "why" behind their triggers. Our past experiences often shape the way we interact with our students. If we uncover the roots, we can respond to our students with greater empathy, patience, and understanding.

💥 Wysteria shares specific experiences that forced her to have an "aha" moment and change her perspective entirely.

💥 We can create safe spaces where students' emotions are not only valued but deeply understood, fostering an atmosphere of trust and growth.

💥 How do we teach and normalize conversations about feelings so they become natural and accepted from K - 12? How do we make this a part of our classroom routine every day so students learn to listen and respond to each other with empathy?

💥 As we build stronger, more compassionate connections with our students, we enrich both their educational experience and our own.

💥What did Mr. Rogers have to teach us?

GINNY LUTHER | PEACEFUL PARENTING: SETTING BOUNDARIES WITH KINDNESS

Are you frustrated daily because you can't connect with a child who is out of control or defiant? Ginny Luther has experienced crises in her life that are unimaginable.

Ginny Luther's tremendous knowledge provides creative solutions to many difficult issues facing schools and families today, giving audiences the tools necessary to succeed. Ginny has brought to life the principles of Dr. Becky Bailey's Conscious Discipline to schools, early childhood centers, parents and in mentorship. Both national and internationally Ginny has mentored those who aspire this transformational journey, to unite in building Conscious Discipline communities. In semi-retirement, she maintains her focus to local communities. She also is co-founder of Bart’s Blue Star Foundation non-profit which supports funding opportunities for people on the front lines with children to receive Conscious Discipline training and coaching. Ginny’s most recent accomplishment is the release her book Blue Star Grit: A Mother’s Journey of Triumph and Tragedy Raising a Defiant Child into an Exceptional Leader on May 2, 2023

💥 Through her own experiences and trauma, she helps us see how we can change our approach.

💥 Our response in any moment has an impact on a child – they will mirror us.

💥 The connection we have with them is the key to discipline and what we do in that moment to show empathy or compassion shows them we are a secure person.

💥 Control comes with a cost to connection. Children will blame themselves or us as parents.

💥 How we talk to ourselves is how we talk to children. It reflects our Inner speech.

💥 How many of us are "shouting" our children and provoking shame and guilt?

💥 Peaceful or conscious parenting comes with consequences. We DO NOT give up our limits. Ginny will help us see how we can be assertive, set boundaries and be kind/firm at the same time with concrete examples.

💥 What resources are available and appropriate for children and families to open communication?
💥 If it's a big deal from their perspective, how do we teach problem-solving skills and build resilience?
💥 The power of admitting it when we make mistakes as adults.
