MasteryWe tell kinds to behave, but we dont
tell them how to behave (Sharp)
  • People who do not feel competent to accomplish
    the tasks and challenges that face them daily are
    likely to develop a deep conviction of
    helplessness.
  • Young people with such convictions may withdraw
    into passivity and dependency or, try to
    compensate in a variety of unhealthy ways
  • Perfectionist Workaholics trying to stave off
    failure arrogant or intolerant to any challenge
    to their way of doing things fearful that their
    inadequacy will be revealed
  • Some become highly skilled in ways not valued by
    society lying, cheating, stealing, vandalism,
    or other delinquent acts
  • Children are more motivated by collaboration than
    rivalry
  • Children need a sense of achievement and many
    experiences of success
  • Seat of Self-Esteem

IndependenceChildren need to learn that they are
capable.
  • Independence is a basic need and helps children
    discover their own sense of power
  • However, responsibility is its close relative
    children need to take responsibility for their
    decisions and actions
  • Self-discipline emerges from within
  • Insisting on obedience or power over children may
    lead them to bully and manipulate others or to
    become helpless and over-dependent

7
GenerosityIf no ones ever done anything for
these kids, why would they want to do anything
for anyone else? (Teacher)
  • Share, be generous, do random acts of kindness
  • By reaching out with concern for others we are
    drawn out of ourselves and our own problems
  • Builds a bond between us and those we care for
    thereby increasing belonging
  • Suggests to children that they are connected and
    that they matter and are necessary for the
    functioning of their families, schools,
    communities and peer group.
