And they shall inherit the earth.
Here’s some sketches of the kids in the class I teach. They’re quite a handful, but it’s quite fun.
I’ve finally developed an effective means of keeping them under control without yelling or using candy, but it’s taken me 4.5 weeks to do so. Bleh.
I don’t believe in raising my voice to discipline children, so I haven’t yelled at them since the beginning of the program. As can be expected, they’ve been crawling all over me. Literally. Candy as a reward also works, but it’s a double edged sword. Their desire for candy may keep them well mannered for a while, but once you give it to them, they begin to expect it all the time. (Also, you have to deal with the initial sugar rush!) But now, I have them all in my grasp. Muahaha! This has been a great study of child psychology by the way.
