Empower Children at the U of O

Full-hearted, high on endorphins from teaching EMPOWER CHILDREN at Univ. of Oregon this week, and LOVING a messy classroom. Friend, Michelle, helped me tie chairs for a surprise greeting to students for an exercise in certain skills I was teaching. Intrinsic rewards pouring in, like this from a graduate student: “I have taken many child psychology courses and I swear to you, I am taking more information home with me in the 4 days with you than all of my other classes combined simply because you are so hands on and we learned things that we can actually use- it wasn’t just knowledge, it was skills and tools that we now know how to live with on a daily basis and that is just priceless.”
