Having a child continues to change my perspective. I am continually amazed at how my daughter learns and picks up new things. She learns so much by watching and then she tries, fails and tries more until she gets it right.
I don't remember talking to my daughter about her bedroom or going to bed, but if you ask her if it is bedtime, she walks straight to her room.
This got me thinking...
Do students have enough experiences with behaviors we want them to demonstrate?
Do they see people read?
Do they see people responding positively to frustration?
Do they see people practicing new skills?
Do they see people acting kind towards others?
Do they see people having positive interactions?
Do they see people fail (and respond with a positive attitude)?

My daughter continues to prove to me that children learn a lot but watching. She has also reminded me the importance of intentionally modeling behaviors I want her to copy.
How can we setup our schools and classrooms to ensure that our students experience these behaviors? Student will immulate what they see. We need to make sure they are seeing positive behaviors and copying behaviors we want to see.
