What Empathy Teaches Us About Families

What Empathy Teaches Us About Families

I recently met with a group of parents to discuss how we can increase our children’s awareness and empathy for others. Through our sharing, we learned that:

  • Having experienced a disability or learning challenge has helped others better understand what it is like to be in someone else’s shoes with a disability and experience empathy.
  • Empathy can be learned when we overcame adversity or a negative experience. When we are rescued by others, we may not learn to overcome a challenge.
  • When family members provide healthy support and not rescue their children, the children must learn how to resolve a challenge. This reflective process can help children learn compassion, empathy, and how to successfully solve daily challenges with others.

Understanding the A to G Requirements for High School Students

Each spring, parents ask us to explain what high school courses are required for admission into the California colleges. We have highlighted below a basic description of the A-G college entrance sequence of high school courses students must complete for minimal eligibility into the University of California or California State University systems (per www.eao.sa.ucsb.edu or see       www.admission.universityofcalifornia.edu  or www.2calstate.edu):

A = 2 years of history

B = 4 years of English

C = 3 years required and 4 years recommended of Math

D = 2 years required and 3 years recommended of laboratory science

E = 2 years required and 3 years recommended pf of a language other than English

F = 1 year of visual and performing arts

G = 1 year of a college preparatory elective chosen from the A-F courses beyond those required. [Read more…]

Let’s Talk Book Shopping for Children!

Let’s Talk Book Shopping for Children!

Whether you are at your local bookshop or your bookshelves at home, the question remains the same; how do I know if my child has chosen a book appropriate for their reading level? My approach to helping children make their own book choices is anchored in the philosophy held by two educators, Gail Bushey and Joan Moser, who co-authored The Daily CAFÉ.

The main goal for allowing children to make their own book choice is to put their interests at the forefront of their reading. This actually allows a flow of intrinsic motivation to help push readers through their natural/developmental reading struggles. For example, train your children to seamlessly learn content-specific vocabulary such as caboose, coal, and locomotive, while reading about their favorite form of transportation. [Read more…]

Khám Phá Nghề Nghiệp cho Trẻ Em Chúng Ta

Khám Phá Nghề Nghiệp cho Trẻ Em Chúng Ta 

Trong suốt cuộc đời, trẻ em khao khát trở thành nhiều thứ khác nhau khi chúng lớn lên. Một đứa trẻ có thể muốn trở thành nhân viên vệ sinh và tài xế xe tải chở rác tái chế. Những trẻ khác lại ước mơ trở thành lính cứu hỏa, nữ cảnh sát hoặc giáo viên. Ngay từ khi còn nhỏ, chúng ta có thể khuyến khích con em mình tìm hiểu thêm về các loại nghề nghiệp và công việc khác nhau bằng cách:

  • Đưa con em đến nơi làm việc của chúng ta sau giờ học, vào buổi tối hoặc dịp cuối tuần
  • Khuyến khích trẻ em giúp đỡ về nhiều mặt khác nhau trong công việc của chúng ta (ví dụ như phân loại các bài tập khác nhau cho giáo viên, dọn dẹp thùng rác và rác tái chế cho các trung tâm thu gom rác và tái chế, và thực hiện các kiểm tra an toàn phòng cháy ở gia đình)
  • Giúp trẻ em học cách theo đuổi những khám phá về nghề nghiệp cụ thể thông qua nghiên cứu, tham gia vào các khóa học cao đẳng sớm cũng như tham gia vào các trải nghiệm công việc liên quan
