Good analogy, but don't miss the point: analogies are ways to simplify reality, and may fail, because they're are not reality. And I have to disagree with the idea of getting selfsteem depending on good things happening to you. Don't we have any role in it? Is it uncontrollable? That's not true, you are forgetting the processing of the child. Look at the ones that are unlikely to have many poker chips, but they have. Loom at the resilient ones that succeed in an adverse environment.

He's not wrong--but the segment dodges teaching kids to EARN their poker chips.

Equip the child to defend against esteem-vampires.

But teach that "Someday, a boss will reward whomever gets the most right answers, has better ideas, works hardest, motivates teams, and communicates best."

Kids need real tasks that earn them the "poker chips" of a graduated allowance, movies, the new iPod. (And sometimes penalties.)

False "tasks" only stroke ego, they don't build character or skills.

You can get partial blows where the BT or cluster comes off the Pre-OT's body but stays in the room, plastered on a wall or outside the room. These can push TA up until blown fully. When they hang up it is because they still have a connecting string to the body or because they conceive some barrier they have hit is impenetrable. The handling is to cut the beam or push them through the barrier or simply repeat the process. What has actually happened is that the mass of BTs contain amongst them

La anologia son el uso de las fichas del poker, pero el mensaje real es que debemos engrandecer a nuestros niños y llenarlos de autoestima para que esten preparados en la vida,porque a futuro tendran que competir con los otros niños que reciben igual o mejor formacion.., enseñarles a nadar en bueno para su autoestima, tambien, contratar un profe para las materias que no puede solo, que sea parte de un equipo deportivo,que asista a reuniones con otros chicos..etc.etc.

Encarado a "educar" a los niños en que su felicidad depende de la aceptación de lo que se piense de ellos, a la búsqueda de la satisfacción de las expectativas de los otros: al conductor del autobús, al profesor, a los padres.

¿Por qué no educar a los hijos en que les amamos por lo que son, y no por lo que hacen? ¿Por qué jugar al premio (dar fichas) o castigo (quitar fichas), si puedo amar a mis hijos sin tener que premiarles o castigarles? Que no necesiten de nosotros es nuestra mejor mision.

Me gusto el video, porque es cierto que es muy facil quitar fichas y ademas sin darse cuenta. este video pone ejemplos palpables de como se quitan las fichas a los niños y jovenes y por que no tambien a los adultos. gracias.

i would have taken a smile or words of encouragement over a reward any day during my schooling. personally speaking, school is a whole different ballgame if you have a learning disability. this video was made to help teachers, friends, and family understand how difficult it can be and give some perspective. an ld kid gains character every day they go to school and read out loud, or goes up to the board to solve a problem. he's just suggesting ego strokes to help them get to that point.

"how difficult can this be" or "f.a.t. city". they're both distributed by pbs.
