Language acquisition is the
quickest way to narrow differences between cultures, and it might even
foster an interest in
learning about a country where the language is spoken.
A
quick - reference introduction to the gradual release of responsibility framework — a template for delivering powerful, effective, and engaging instruction that
fosters independent
learning — from Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey.
Carrie
learned that
foster dogs with nice manners were
quicker to find homes and more likely to stay in those homes, so she puts special emphasis on teaching dogs to be well - mannered members of their homes and communities.
Tattling was always a pet peeve of mine and, whenver one of mine would come to me witha complaint that someone had hit, or grabbed, etc., I
learned to say, «What happened just before he / she hit, grabbed, etc.» I believe anything parents can do to
foster a positive self - image (that means private, not public, discipline, even if it means a
quick walk to a restroom or back to the car), and to encourage mutual respect (allowing a child to express how he / she feels about the discipline being meted out by the parent, and giving an age - appropriate child a say - so in the discipline) will not only benefit the child, but will benefit all those who encounter that child during his / her lifetime.
