Creating Peaceful & Happy Environments 4 Children with Sharon Wikoff

Today on the Voice of Change, Sharon Ann Wikoff, will share and discuss her parenting and classroom teachings on creating a peaceful and happy environment for children.  A foundational decision that underlies numerous other decisions for parents and educators is the choice to create such an environment...one of peacefulness and happiness!  Such a decision is essential!  Then, discovering the values you hold most dear and explore way of living and teaching those values, you do create an environment of cooperation, compassion and caring.  In addition, Sharon will discuss other factors such as:  looking at what is already working for you in the environment, the role your unique "bottom lines" play in this process and well as how challenging situations can be "moments of impact" which can create significant change.  These principals are specific enough to address present-day situations and flexible enough to use well into parenting your adult children!
