teachermum replied to Olfa's discussion How to deal with homework with kids of different ages in the group Super Momsteachermum replied to Megan Calhoun's discussion How do you discipline your children?"I use a very similar discipline technique in my classroom and at home. It works brilliantly.
You may wish to read about it over here. I wrote this post a while back, but it has turned out to be one of my most popular.
I hope you find it useful."

teachermum posted a blog postThe Choice you Make
“I know we had a massive argument last night, but I can’t remember what it was about.”These were the words my deflated Senior Son uttered to me as I pulled into our driveway after a long day a few weeks ago. These words hit me right where they were supposed to and they hit pretty hard, but the pain made its point.

teachermum posted a blog postEducating Boys
Recently we were privileged enough to spend 5 hours doing professional development in the company of Dr Ian Lillico from Boys Forward Institute. We covered a lot of material in five hours and it was hard for me to select which aspects of boys’ education to blog about because he made so many valuable points. One would hope that all teachers are already giving lessons that are exciting, enjoyable, rewarding and satisfying. I have chosen to share a few…See More
Profile Information
- What is your blog link?
- http://www.teachermum.com
- A little about yourself...
- In the real world I am a mum, a wife and a special education teacher (And lots of other things, but I’ll just stick to those three for now.) In my fantasy world, I am a guitar playing rock star and a famous artist. In my spare time I …um… I…um… Okay, so I don’t have spare time. But I do like to think I invented the idea of the mum’s “Crumple Effect.” It’s that feeling of exhaustion you get after a long, hard day when that never-ending list of nightly chores still lies before you. It’s that feeling when you would just like to crumple into a tidy little heap on the kitchen floor and stay there for a while. No movement, no thought, just a crumpled (little) mass on the floor. Ah yes…welcome to the Crumple Effect.
During those moments when I am not crumpled on my (very old) kitchen floor, I plan to blog about practical ideas I have come up with and come across as a special education teacher focusing on language and literacy. But wait, there’s more… I would love to share some of my useful parenting tips and ideas – particularly those relating to cultivating great routines and habits at home for successful learning.
I am the teacher at school and the mum at home, but if I stop and listen really carefully, it is the children who teach me, inspire me and guide me towards those answers I am always looking for. Those are the answers I wish to blog.
- What kinds of things do you typically Tweet about?
- life, kids, home, parenting, succesful teaching strategies
- What are your areas of interest?
- mommyhood, blogging, special needs children, writing
