St. Helens OMSI Oaks Park Lewisville Park Seaside, OR Perhaps you know one of those kids...the type who absolutely loves seeing your face turn red and hearing your voice get loud. Oh, the power they must experience upon seeing our veins bulge! Power corrupts. When kids see that they can control the color of our face, the tone of our voice and our emotions, it doesn’t take long for them to get addicted. With this addiction comes the desire for ever increasing power. In their desperate quest for this power, they push more and more emotional buttons. The more unhealthy control kids acquire the more out-of -control they become. In Dr. Fays’ webinar, Success with Strong-Willed, Stubborn or Downright Defiant Kids. He provides four hours of tips and tools dedicated to helping parents and educators regain healthy control around Napoleon-like kids...those children bent on world domination. Listed below is a brief sampling of techniques you can begin experimenting with today: When the child begins to argue, calmly repeat, “I know” or “I love you too much to argue” or “I’ll listen when your voice sounds calm like mine.” Don’t be surprised if the child gets even more upset in the short-term. Just continue repeating your “one liner” in a calm and loving way. When the child gets louder, you get softer. Does this demonstrated a strong message of power and love? When the child talks faster, you talk slower. Again, the goal is to show the child that you are a loving and powerful person who can’t be manipulated into losing control. When the child gets extremely oppositional and defiant, say, “I love you too much to fight with you about this. I’ll take care of it.” We will be closed July 4th in observance of Independence Day Read - A - Thon This month we are challenging parents and children to read as many books as they can. Look for upcoming information about how we will be promoting this event. At the end of the month we will be celebrating with a special party! Sheets/Blankets Allowing the child to think, albeit incorrectly, that they’ve gotten away with something gives us the time to calm down and put together an effective plan. Please remember to take home your child’s sheet and blanket every Friday to launder. Using these tools allows us to regain control of our lives while helping the child regain healthy control over theirs. Please remember to bring extra clothes for your child. Accidents happen when you may not expect it so we need to be prepared! www.loveandlogic.com Extra Clothes Country Campus Learning Center From the Pooh Room From the Piglet Room Hooray summer has finally arrived! We have spent the month of June learning about bubbles, balloons, kites and chimes. We loved blowing bubbles, gluing balloons, flying like a kite and making a chime. Now the weather is finally starting to get warmer (and hopefully it will stay that way :))! We have been enjoying the ability to go outside more. If you haven’t already, This month we concentrated on the wind and summer breezes. We had fun making windsocks and wind chimes. Be sure and look up when you go in the room! We experimented with the effects of wind with a straw and a cotton ball by blowing it across the table. We made kites out of bread and cream cheese. The part the kids liked best was eating it. We are looking forward to next month and please bring in sunscreen and fill out the permission form for your child. We’re excited for all the fun we are going to have this summer in the Pooh Room! We will be saying good bye to Ms. Melina soon. She is going to stay home with her girls. She will be greatly missed - but she may come in and sub for us on occasion. Ms. Jana and Ms. Melina From the Tigger Class wind. We also spent lots of time reviewing letters “K” and “L” and writing their names. We look forward to July! Ms. Kayla We sadly had to say good bye to Ms, Carrie as our classrooms have shrunk for the summer. Ms. Suzi and Ms. Sharon safekids.org “Couldn’t happen to me,” you say? Of course, that’s what every parent says, including those who experience it at some later date. Community Resources Wow! June flew by! This months’ theme was “Blowing in the Breeze.” The Tiggers got to learn all about wind and air. They had a blast making plastic sack kites and flying them and also paper airplanes and having a paper airplane race with them. They also explored all the different things that move in the wind such as flags, trees, grass ect. They even danced and twirled like tornados in the “Summer Time Fun.” Please remember sunscreen and extra clothes as we will be outside more depending on the weather. Be sure to love and hug your children often. They don’t stay little long! See you next month.

We are off for field trips and doing all we can to enjoy the sun...when it gets here. And along with the fun we will continue to learn and keep our skills sharp. Each week we are studying a different country - doing research, making the flag, creating art and cooking some food. This ties in with the coming of the Summer Olympics. We will also be trying out some of the athletic activities (Country Campus style). With all this going on we ask that you would have your child equipped with their own water bottle, good footwear and a change of clothing. We appreciate the sunscreen that you have provided. All of these things help us to give your child the best summer ever. Ms. Shelley Summer is finally here! Sort of...but we’re having tons of fun anyways! Our first week we researched Australia then Brazil the next week. They were both fun and interesting countries to start off our summer Olympics. Parents, please remind kids to bring sunscreen and either a swimsuit or extra clothes. We also recommend bringing a labeled water bottle for the warm weather! Ms. Dana I have enjoyed Ms. Sherries Love and Logic class and recommend it to all. In a recent class I learned “The more words we use with a misbehaving child, the less effective we become. Great parents (and teachers) keep their enforceable statements short and sweet.” On our Summer fun list for your child in our afternoons together include: Pudding Pictionary :), water sports and team building projects, beading, stamping, and lots of painting, and glitter projects.
