降低你的声音。高声说话和刺耳的声音会阻碍学习。
2. Prevent or comfort crying and distress. Negative experience stresses the brain.

显示无限的耐心以及——除了上面提到的——总是无条件的和蔼亲切。
7. Model "grit" or perserverance so it is learned organically through observation.

10. Be the teacher you want to be and not the one others expect you to become.
做你想做的老师,而不要做他人期望的老师。
Remember that children have the rest of their lives to "grow up". Don't rush them or you sap their emotional strength before it matures. Don't burden them with responsibiities that are too big for them just as you would not buy shoes two sizes too large.
请记住,孩子们剩下的一生都在“成长”。不要催促他们,也不要在他们成熟之前削弱他们的感情力量。不要让他们背负太多责任,这对他们来说太大了,就像买的鞋子大了两号。
Be brave and do what works best for you. Worry less about coddling and more about scaffolding. Less about being too soft and more about being too hard. Childhood should not be confused with boot camp.
要勇敢,并且做对自己最好的事情。少一些娇生惯养,多一些勇敢担当。少一些柔弱,多一些坚强。童年应该经历一些营地训练。
Be patient with them and with yourself. When in doubt, always choose to let them enjoy life in ways that are emotionally meaningful to them. They will be contrary but you should never be controlling. If they want to take off their shoes to climb better - let them. Life is short. 对孩子们耐心一些,也对自己也耐心一些。每当有疑惑时,总是选择对他们有意义的方式让他们享受生活。如果他们想脱掉鞋更好的攀爬——让他们去做。
Engage in only the most important battles. Childhood should not be remembered as a war. Accomodation models calm, strength, compromise, and flexibility. Be gently firm when it is important and fair minded all other times.
生命很短暂。要把短暂的生命投入到最重要的战斗中。童年时期的记忆不应该像一场战争。生活能够塑造冷静、坚强、会妥协和有弹性的我们。在重要的时刻要温柔且坚定,在其他时刻要没有偏见,一碗水端平。
