Yesterday session was very interesting and it really woke up my senses in many different ways.
Discipline: How disciplined am I? Taking the course into consideration, am I disciplined towards the course? Realized, that I am disciplined however, not entirely.
The thought of........
How I am disciplined struck me as follows:
- Respect the property, my class friends & colleagues
- Respect others thoughts.
- Being sensitive to others needs and co-operate.
- Respect cell phone usage
How I am NOT disciplined?
- Always want to write my thoughts for the day on the session and keep postponing it.
- Sometimes late to class whatever maybe the circumstances.
- Learning and exploring loads of information and bringing into act, then sometimes...that bit 2% gets back to the same old habits.... questioning myself WHY???? Answer: Not yet disciplined/ still operating from beliefs.
Driving this back home....the following questions took stand; I think it is a good start:
- Are all the family members (parents-children) on the same platform?
- Are the house rules applicable and in agreement by all of us. Who formed them me, we or US?
- How can I as an adult and a mother participate in those rules?
- How sensitive can I be to my kids feelings and respect them?
- How can I help that discipline is not just under my nose and also at the end of the road?
- Am I paying attention to their needs?
Action Plan: I have requested my son's help so we can work on all of the above. We have planned it all out. I saw the excitement in my son that he is the "Big HELPER" and has been given the power to help mom out to achieve her goals.
Punishment: My thought was sometimes punishment is required to discipline a child.
Later then, popped the red light signal example. It is a great example indeed.
As said, RED is danger...it flagged my senses and woke me up..."Hello, Good Morning". .......
A step back from the whole situation and looking deeper into it and from where I am operating and what are my so-called "Beliefs". Now, I can operate with the awareness that the "Last Resort" comes too soon. I can and will wipe this "Last Resort" and shall follow through.
Learning: There is no policy on discipline. The best way is to be very relaxed, calm and this gives you the time to think better, abundant energy and ideas/choices to work with anyone, not only children.
