The Transformative Power of Acceptance

The art of acceptance is the art of making someone who has just done you a small favor wish that he might have done you a greater one. ~Martin Luther King In a world that’s constantly evolving, acceptance can be our anchor, keeping us grounded while allowing us to grow.

How we can use compassion with disruptive students and start participating in their lives to change their mindsets

The students in classrooms who are disruptive and who consistently make poor behavior choices have learned that adults are not trustworthy. They believe that in the end, all adults will eventually abandon them, they believe that no one loves them and that no one cares.

Still, deep down, they hope there’s an exception—an adult who will hold them accountable firmly but gently, and never give up on them, no matter what awful things they do or say. So they test us by acting out in class. By doing so, they are collecting evidence, watching, noting how we respond.

They sometimes break us before we break them.

I don’t expect huge changes in my time with them. Every little sparkle I see in them is a victory. I believe that as long as I keep holding the light for them to have a voice in this world, the spark will become brighter with each day. At the end of the year, they might become somebody else’s problem. But I still want to go through the motions with them, and put my heart into letting their voices be heard, their presence be felt and their beings beloved, no matter how broken they are inside.

It is as simple as believing in them, wanting to help them, and offering them the choice to do better, communicate to them in some way that I will be there for them through the storm because we can only get through this when we do it together.

I keep holding them accountable for their behavior. I do not take defiance personally. I dig into my inner empathy for them, while being firm and consistent. There is a difference between meting out a consequence for them to learn to take ownership of their actions vs punishing them for making my life harder.

Compassion is important. For example, a student might show defiance in class when asked to do a task. She could be saying, “This is hard for me. I do not like to fail in front of my classmates. It is embarrassing. “ Instead of losing my cool and raising my voice and lecturing the student about disrespect, I can respond more compassionately. I might say, “I know this is hard. But I’m here to help. You can do this little by little. We can do this together.”

Difficult and tormenting situations strike you when you least expect them, and leave your wrecked self behind as if you deserved it.

But I don't deserve it, I never did, no one does.

I am in desperate need of help to pay my phone bill. I've gotten behind due to having to get my car repaired. If I don't get it paid soon, I will lose my phone. I'll take any help I can get and will be eternally grateful for any help received.

Early Morning Walk

Imagine getting up before dawn, eating a quick breakfast, slipping into a warm jacket and heading out for a walk. You might hear the morning birds begin their calls, spot a cat slinking under a car, and pass neighbor’s heading to work. Day after day you walk, sometimes heading north, others south. There are stories to tell. Why did the old couple move out? What happened to the two-story house…
