Like I learned in the Fish! Book I read, you need to determine to bring your attitude to work. This is because of a psychology of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias. There is a real reason for no complaining – http://www.cbc.ca/news/viewpoint/vp_mallick/20080331.html. If you need to let out your frustration I have found Tae Kwon Do works well. Here is another creative way http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATXV3DzKv68.

Book Review Tuesday:
The Trouble with Boys: A Surprising Report Card on Our Sons, Their Problems at School, and What Parents and Educators Must Do
Peg Tyre (Author)
Intro – Amazing Statistics. Recommended Books:
Michael – Raising Cain: Protecting the emotional life of boys
Michael Gurian – The minds of Boys
Chapter 1 – Interesting that one school found that boys & girls really started separating (in many ways) around 4th grade. But some differences appeared much sooner.
Chapter 2 – There are admittedly more physiological problems with young boys but still this doesn’t account for all of the differences seen in boys. Suicide stats for boys are alarming! http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/ltt/results2004/
Chapter 4 – Very emotionally charged up to this point. I agree that some preschools are unrealistic in their expectations, but I also think too many parents send their kids away, continue with their careers and are not engaged with their kids.
Chapter 6 – The focus of early education
