[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 158034, member: 10"] Christy, Homeschooling does provide many learning opportunites , so table manners would be an interesting topic. When learning takes place in the ' constructivist tradition ' , both with academic learning and also socio-moral learning , where the child reconstructs the learning, makes new meaning of what he is learning , the lessons become internalized and intergrated. A great companion for the book the explosive child is the author Alfie Kohn [url]http://alfiekohn.org[/url] . The constructivist tradition , the focus on intrinsic motivation , the love of learning and relationships fits in so well with Ross Greene. The key to problem solving , and learning is asking questions , dialog , having a discussion , not just taking in facts and throwing them back. If your child fails to put the solutions or plans into practice it could be that there are still some pathways or missing skills. I am also a fan of Myrna Shure , Edward de bono , anything that teaches kids how to think , problem solving skills etc. If kids get better at problem solving , they can come up with various alternative solutions to one problem , they are less likely to become frustrated. So good luck with the homeschooling Allan [/QUOTE]
