3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV
Issue #74, 7th December 2021
Have you ever had a bad day? Can we go through lives without having a bad day? What about good days? We have all had our good and bad days whether a child or an adult or an old person. What is one thing that we can ask another person when we know they are having a bad day? what is it that we can do for ourselves when we are having a bad day? We can work with kindness. It is an emotion. It is also a skill that can be taught in schools. The world needs more of it. What say? Teach yourself to fly when you want to cry. Pandemic fatigue has set in… we need to be safe and we need to carry on. Let us carry on with kindness to ourselves and to all those who we touch and teach.

One Video of the Week
When we help children to recognize and act from their “higher self, they take pride in their good behavior and encourage others to do the same. Kindness is its own reward, not simply a way of avoiding punishment. In this talk author/singer Barry Lane shows how his songs help transform a rule bound, anti-bully school culture, into a joyful place where students act freely as individuals to create a “Force Field for Good”. Songs and assembly information can be found at http://www.forcefieldforgood.com . Follow @barrylane That amazing troubadour of joy, hope, and song is coming back. He tells me a school without music is a prison not a school. Barry wants us to know music heals, music inspires, music matters. Most of all Barry Lane wants us to know music belongs in our public schools.
Love is Truth. Kindness is freedom. Be kind to be free. In this talk author/singer Barry Lane shows how songs can create a greater degree of self-awareness that helps students and schools move past a compliance model of kindness, to one where students are encouraged to act from a place of intrinsic nobility. When we help children to recognize and act from their “higher self”, they take pride in their behavior and encourage others to do the same. Together we weave a Force Field for Good.

My home and heart were full with kids home for a short vacation . The pandemic fatigue and the after effects of social isolation were visible and palpable specially among the young children .
And then I see this newsletter on how to cope with hope ! Thank you Ms Niv for always reading my mind and coming up with such treasures !
I think I am totally in love with Barry Lane and his powerful strategies . Read this aloud please .. “ Love is Truth. Kindness is freedom. Be kind to be free. “It’s so liberating !
It’s amazing how he gently guides us thru his songs to create some degree of self-awareness that could steer students to get past a compliance model of kindness, to one where students are invited to view and experience it from a more personal place . That’s the magic that casts it spell “ Force Field for Good !! “
The images and quotes have my ❤️! Tuesday done right 🥰🤗🤗🤗🥰
