Careful
Discipline - by Maite Galan and Tom Maguire
In
the same way that a gardener cares for nature, managing
a class is a way of caring for your students. It is a
day to day task, requiring small and efficient
interventions to encourage quality learning and healthy
development in your pupils. The aim of careful
management is to give you the resources you need to
maintain the balance between controlling pupils
behaviour and fostering the growth of positive human
values

Nurturing
the Exceptionally Gifted Child - by Joe Sinclair
A
child's inability to socialize with its peers or respond
acceptably to discipline may derive simply from
frustration at being forced to march to the slow tempo
of the drumbeat of others. And this frustration
regularly manifests itself in similar behaviour patterns
to those of ADD.
It
behoves both
educationalists and parents to be aware of the need to
avoid misdiagnosis and to ensure that the gifted child
is treated appropriately in order to remedy any tendency
towards anti-social behaviour.
