I absolutely hated this book. It was very difficult to feel anything for any of the superficial characters and the premise was ridiculous. It made me wonder if the author used AI and prompted: write a story for me about a tradwife influencer who mess ...more

“The hallmark of resiliency is the ability to harness positive emotions when we need to counter the effects of hardship.”
Patricia A Jennings, Mindfulness for Teachers: Simple Skills for Peace and Productivity in the Classroom

“Congressman Ryan give a talk at the Contemplative Sciences Center at the University of Virginia. He said that we all want two things for our children: We want them to care about others and we want them to pay attention. He pointed out that parents and teachers are always telling children, “Pay attention” and “Be nice.” But he went on to ask, “How often do they teach them how to do those things?”
Patricia A Jennings, Mindfulness for Teachers: Simple Skills for Peace and Productivity in the Classroom

“the classroom environment can be a setup for serious stress-related health problems. In a sense, both teachers and their students are “captives”—they can’t leave during class without suffering adverse consequences. Furthermore, the social and emotional dynamics of a room full of children or adolescents can be intense and sometimes chaotic. Under pressure, some students become disruptive, distracted, and even defiant, and teachers may become anxious, frustrated, embarrassed, and hopeless. From this perspective, it’s easy to see why teachers are burning out and students aren’t learning. The stress response is derailing our teaching and our students’ learning.”
