Here are some articles of interest from our meeting last week. These can be pathways to greater peace, not just in our school, but in our families, our community and ultimately, the world.

I hope you find them inspirational and helpful.

Enjoy!

Screen Time: How TV, Video Games and Smart Phones Can Harm Our Children

FAMILY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INFLUENCE IN A CHILD'S LIFE, BUT TELEVISION, VIDEOS AND GAMES ARE NOT FAR BEHIND. THESE MEDIA CAN INFORM, ENTERTAIN, AND TEACH US. HOWEVER, SOME OF WHAT THEY TEACH MAY NOT BE THE THINGS YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO LEARN. TV PROGRAMS, VIDEO GAMES AND COMMERCIALS OFTEN SHOW VIOLENCE, ALCOHOL OR DRUG USE, AND SEXUAL CONTENT THAT MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN OR TEENS. HOW SCREEN TIME AFFECTS YOUR CHILD : THERE ARE MANY WAYS THAT MEDIA AFFECT YOUR CHILD'S LIFE. WHEN YOUR CHILD SITS DOWN TO AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE, CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING: Time Children in the United States watch over 6 hours of TV every day.

AN UNUSUAL AUTUMN This has certainly not been the most calm of beginnings for our school year. Many of us have friends and family dealing with the results of the storms and floods. Our students, if not directly affected, have been hearing the stories and perhaps, seeing the disturbing pictures and videos. Our school can be a place of respite and comfort for the children and for us, as well. The sense of community at AMCS is strong. This may be a good time to review the Teaching With Love and Logic approach to acknowledging feelings when a student (or staff member) is worried, angry or sad. No real progress can be made toward solving a problem or even comforting someone, until they feel understood. So how to go about this important beginning? When we see that someone is upset a good start might be: "You seem to be a bit upset today." or "Wow. I don't see your usual smile this morning." That may get man...
