Information that agrees with our paradigm is easily recognized and accepted. Information that disagrees with our paradigm is difficult to recognize and is resisted.

5 The Dominant Paradigm… Resistance Originates from a Child.

6 RESISTANCE ORIGINATES FROM YOUR BEHAVIOR!

7 Do You Disagree with Me? If so, I have just created your resistance. I can change that. I am NOT suggesting this as a technique for managing resistance. Nevertheless, what would happen to resistance if you never asked a student to stop behaving inappropriately or to start behaving appropriately? Would there be resistance?

8 The Opposite of Resistance Is Rapport Alter your behavior so that it becomes easier to lead a child in the direction of a desired outcome. Is Rapport Alter your behavior so that it becomes easier to lead a child in the direction of a desired outcome.

68 THE TEACHER I have come to a frightening conclusion. I am the decisive element in the classroom. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess tremendous power to make a child’s life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or hurt, humor or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, and a child humanized or de-humanized. Haim Ginott I have come to a frightening conclusion.
