What are my key learnings till date – Concepts and applications
Concept
Application
Feelings dictionary and connect with feelings
Can I respond by restating the feelings / eg. When my daughter throws something can I try to connect to her anger feeling / frustration rather than tell her not to do something
Self Esteem – The three images of self – own, own as I wld like to be and as seen by others, need for congruence
Nowadays, whenever I converse with my daughter, I am very conscious of the fact that I don't want to destroy her self-esteem
Fish, Can you give fish freely
What happens when I give lots of chocs or chocs for no reason.. Tried and it makes her so hapy – carving for chocs has in fact come down. So I have extended and applied this to many other thngs
How to react when a child shows a "painting" – Level 1: Very good, Level 2: Comment on specifc things I liked in it, Levl 3: Ask the child how she liked it, Level 4: Appreciate the key qualities which went into making the "painting"
I have applied this and cn see a marked difference in the way she responds
The understanding triangle – appreciate, agree or respect. Very often, we react to the action and not the intent and all intents are good. Can  I try to react to the intent and not the action
Many situations, where as a post mortem, I know I am reacting to the action. Yet haven't got down to applying it at a level where I can say I am "confident"
Unconsc. Incompetence to unconsc. Competence : The journey
This has helped me respect, appreciate the difficulties my daughter must be going thru specially given the number of new things she is learning. Partly applied – started swimming, but the weather has put paid to it..

Multiple Intelligences –Theory of MI and the various intelligences – Linguistic, Logical, Kinestic, Naturalist, Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Visual, Rhythmic
Very interesting, but haven't got down to any consc application of it yet ( Other than in class)
Why do we have to give the answers? Help thinking by posing questions and enabling them to explore / seek answers
This I apply regularly and sometimes, I get a vry perplexed look. Slowly learning when to appy and when to not and give an answer
Mind mapping rechnique
Still to apply
Thinking Theory
Still assimilating
