Hai, welcome back to my blog. Today I would like to continue my book's review, about "How Can I Go On?" to be success in learning and it's the last chapter.
"How Can I Go On?"
The previous chapter had explained the idea for building self esteem of a student in accordance to our role. But implementing those ideas in our daily life is another story. Below is a guideline for each role to successfully implement and build the student’s self esteem.
For Parents
Using the stages of moral reasoning table, to raise your child’s
self-esteem:
1. Locate where your child is on this table by seeing the age and descriptions of their behavior
2. Link their behavior so far with the one descripted on the table. Is their bad behavior justified by what each stage think is the right thing to do?
Becoming a good Mirror
Here are a few things to check on yourself throughout the day to become a good role model for your child.
1) Being Positive
2) Forgiving yourself
For Teachers
Building a good relationship between your students require time, effort, and sincerity and it is key for successful learning. To achieve that we must be aware of our actions and reflect these questions below daily.
1. Have I given compliments to my student that have made progress today?
2. Am I giving constructive input to my students that need help?
3. Have I spent time to have an enjoyable conversation with my students?
4. Did I acknowledge my mistake and apologise to the class?
5. Do I select positive vocabulary when I speak with my students?
6. Have I encouraged my students by showing them that they have potential?
7. Have I dug out the positive strength that every student posses?
8. Have I challenge my students today?
9. Have I acknowledge every student for who they are instead of just labelling them?
10. Have I made my students believe in themselves?
For Students
The ideas in Chapter three gave rough guideline to being a positive person. Here are a few questions you can ask yourself everyday in order for you to reflect on your actions and direct you to become a positive person.
1. Have I tried new things?
2. Do I acknowledge that I am different from other people therefore cannot be compared with others?
3. Do I invest in myself by spending “me” time (exercising, reading books, watching useful videos, eat healthy foods, etc)
4. Have I said at least three positive things about myself today?
5. Am I kind towards others?
6. Do I accept the compliments that other people give to me?
7. Have I helped others today?
8. Have I taken full credit for the actions I took, ideas I came up with, and opinions?
9. Have I taken full responsibility for my actions?
10. Do I have set goals and targets?
As you have acquired this new skill, the next and final step which is equally as important as the rest, is sharing. When we share, not only we benefit others but we benefit ourselves. It
is one of the accelerators of being better at it as, when we share, we allow others to benefit from it, challenge it, contrast it, and reframe it, instead of seeing things from your own point of view.
Sharing widens your perspective of the knowledge that you have and improves your own competence. When we share, we are also changing our environment as we surround others with positivity. When we are surrounded by positivity, we will subconsciously become positive as well.
A simple things that I think anyone can do to show others through your actions. They say the best leaders lead by example and this is exactly what you need to do in order to
empower others. We must send a message that sounds something like this.
“ I can do it, so you can do it too. It made me a better person, look where I am now.”
That message is delivered the most effectivly through example. Another thing you can do is by sharing your stories to others.
I recommend this book to be read so that we can know the secrets of successful learning. I hope this blog can inspire readers. thanks for visit :)
