MCALLEN, Texas - Pharr Bridge Director Luis Bazan recently spoke at a meeting of TxDOT's Border Trade Advisory Committee.In his presentation, Bazan listed some of the improvements happening at the bridge, including construction of a second span. With four more lanes, the new span will effectively double the capacity of the bridge. Bazan said Mexico is already building its half of the second span.After his presentation, Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson asked Bazan to reiterate how much fresh produce the Pharr bridge crosses. The answer: Sixty-five percent of the imported fresh fruit and vegetables consumed in Texas. “That is absolutely phenomenal,” said Nelson, who chaired the BTAC meeting. Bazan said the new produce season will kickoff in October. He said Pharr Bridge Board is slated to host an Avocado Festival the same month.The BTAC meeting was held at the McAllen Convention Center.To read the new stories and watch the news videos of the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service go to www.riograndeguardian.com.

MCALLEN, Texas - The chairman of the Texas House Transportation Committee said he wanted to lay down some facts when he spoke before TxDOT's Border Trade Advisory Committee.State Rep. Terry Canales of Edinburg spoke about some of his achievements in the area of transportation during the most recent legislative session. He then gave a big picture view of the importance of the advisory committee.“I want to give you a bit of perspective. The United States is the greatest superpower the world has ever seen. That's a fact. Mexico is now our largest trading partner, as reported by all news outlets. That's a fact. That means this committee and the work that this committee does, probably makes this the most powerful Trade Advisory Committee on the face of the planet. That's a fact,” Canales said.“So moving forward, what do we do?” Canales asked. How do we fund the Border Master Plan?”Canales answered his own question. He said funding the Border Master Plan is should be the work of the advisory committee. "So I leave you with that. You are the most powerful Trade Advisory Committee on the face of the planet. And the work and movement that you do here will forge and form the future of not only Texas, not only the Rio Grande Valley, but the entire United States. "And so figuring out how we fund the projects that are in the Border Master Plan; I would challenge this committee to say we're going to find that funding one way or another. Through moving TxDOT funds, or however you do it. And build out the Border Master Plan over the next 25 years. It is possible. It's a challenge you should accept. It is incumbent upon us.”Secretary of State Jane Nelson chaired the meeting, which was held at the McAllen Convention Center. Nelson said Canales' remarks were “inspiring.”Meade's analysisAlejandro ‘Alex' Meade, the new Texas Transportation Commission member, also spoke at the Border Trade Advisory Committee meeting.Meade said he agreed with Canales. “This could not be a more powerful committee,” Meade said. “The State of Texas is the fastest growing state in the nation. We have the eighth largest economy in the world. And the only way we can do that is by having a strong border. Investing in the border is investing in Texas. And so we have to remind ourselves and remind our partners that we have to continue investing in the border.”Meade pointed out that trade with Mexico, in just the Valley and Laredo regions, is worth $1 billion a day.  “Nothing happens in Texas without the border. Nothing happens in this country without the border.”Here is an audio recording of the entire remarks Canales and Meade made at the Border Trade Advisory Committee meeting.To read the new stories and watch the news videos of the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service go to www.riograndeguardian.com.

This episode is from a video I did called “6 Positive Discipline Techniques to Improve Child Behavior”. Positive Discipline was developed by Dr. Jane Nelson in the early 1980s to teach young people to become responsible, respectful and resourceful members of their communities. Parents, educators, coaches, and more have used Positive Discipline to improve the behavior of children using mutual respect. In this episode, I go over 6 simple positive discipline techniques you can use to improve child behavior. While there are many positive discipline examples and techniques, the 6 outlined in this episode are easy to implement and you can begin practicing now.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Sarah Jane NelsonNow, as a Nashville-based singer and songwriter, she's weaving her life experiences with universal truths to tell stories of her own.“For many years, I was terrified to be truly vulnerable in my songwriting. I was used to playing a part. As an actor but also in my personal life in the role of the happy wife with the perfect family. When I finally filed for divorce, the facade crumbled and I was left with the task of picking up the pieces and building a new life. It was scary to write my last record, “I'm Not Broken,” but when I released it, I got daily emails from new fans telling me that they cried as they listened as it felt like I was singing their story. Reading those messages each day, hearing that my music provided comfort and hope, I felt empowered to go even deeper with this new record and be fearless in giving voice to the stories of those who have felt unheard and under-represented for a long time.”

In this episode of Real Talk, KJK Student & Athlete Defense Attorneys Susan Stone and Kristina Supler are joined by Certified Positive Discipline Lead Trainers Kelly Pfeiffer and Dodie Blomberg to talk about positive discipline and how parents can use it as a tool to empower and grow their children while fostering true connection. TRANSCRIPT: Susan Stone:                      Welcome back to Real Talk with Susan Stone and Kristina Supler. We're full-time moms and attorneys bringing our students defense legal practice to light with real candid conversation. Today's topic is discipline, in particular, positive discipline. We bring with us two special guests, Kelly Pfeiffer, and Dodie Blomberg. Kelly Pfeiffer:                    Thanks for having us. Kristina Supler:                 Our pleasure. We're so pleased today to have Kelly and Dodie with us. Both women are Certified Positive Discipline Lead Trainers and have years of experience with the topic that is positive discipline. So ladies, before we dive in, why don't you give us a little bit of your own background? Tell us about yourselves. Kelly Pfeiffer:                    I'm Kelly Pfeiffer and when I became a mom years and years and years ago, I'd say 28 years ago, I was struggling. I knew I didn't want to discipline my children the exact same way that I did before. I found positive discipline 28 years ago. Then, I decided I wanted to start teaching it. Currently, I have two children who are 28 and 25 and two stepchildren who are 28 and 26 and I live in Greenville, South Carolina. Susan Stone:                      Thank you, Kelly. That's a great introduction. Dodie? Dodie Blomberg:              So, I'm Dodie Blomberg and I started my career as a classroom teacher and I had a really hard first year. I didn't have the tools and skills I needed to manage really tough fifth graders. They're tougher than they seem. A few years in, a friend said, “Hey, take this training.” It's positive discipline in the classroom. I thought it was so amazing. It gave me tools that I just didn't even know existed to grow kids' skills and to grow my own skills with social, emotional, relationships, communication. I didn't even know that was out there. Then a few years later, I got married and had two kids. Then I learned you can use this on with your own children. Of course, everyone knew that. I just took a little time to figure that out. Then, like Kelly, I love this work. I got trained. I've been practicing this work since 1995. I'm still learning. My children now are 26 and 23 and they're pretty good people. We have a good relationship and I just really think positive discipline has helped it along the way. Susan Stone:                      Well, I would like to share with our listening audience that, as you know, Kristina and I work with students every day and we get a lot of parenting questions when we have to advise parents on how to handle certain circumstances, such as it might sound, “Go on spring break when there's a pending tons of charges.” We realized early on that people were not asking us for legal questions but parenting questions and that lead us to want to learn more for our own business. I can share that Dodie and Kelly certified us in positive discipline. I've also seen a change not only on how we speak to our clients who are students, but my own family. So, I thank you for imparting your knowledge on us, but we'd like you guys to talk to our audience. Can you tell us what is positive discipline? Dodie Blomberg:              So, positive discipline basically is a group of skills and tools that adults can use to help grow children's skills and tools like teaching respect, responsibility, communication, listening, problem solving, and more. And I don't know about all of you, but I didn't learn all of those growing up. Like my growing up was you obey adults. But then as a kid, what did I do when I was on my own and I had to solve problems? I didn't know how to do that. I just knew how to follow directions. So really, ideally, how do we teach our kids to think, to solve problems, to think through things so they become adults who know how to do that? Kelly, do you want to add on? Kelly Pfeiffer:                    I can just add one more thing. Traditional discipline generally focuses on getting rid of behaviors. So, we want them to go away. Those behaviors that are annoying or dangerous. Positive discipline instead focuses on adding to the child, helping them learn new skills and tools. So, I love to explain that difference, that we're not taking away until we add something because children are going to use the same tools that they have until they have new tools. So we need to… the focus is on teaching children these new life skills and tools [crosstalk] Susan Stone:                      How about an example, ladies? Dodie Blomberg:              So, let's just start with little kids. Because I think little kids is just like, you could see the starting point and where you're going. So young children, they have harsh tools, right? You see kids in preschool. They're hitting. They're biting. They're grabbing. Those are the tools they know. It gets results quickly. Now we don't want our kids to have those… Use those tools long term so we need to replace them with the tools. So, we teach kids gentle hands, ask for the toy, take time to share, teeth are for chewing, not biting. Right? Like really teaching the tools we want so they know what to do. That's more helpful than hurtful tools as a beginning place. Kelly, can you add another one? Kelly Pfeiffer:                    One thing I remember Jane Nelson saying a lot is that when children make a mistake or have a misbehavior, that the parents tell the kids what happened, what caused it to happen, what they can do about it and what can they do in the future to prevent it. In a positive discipline, let's see a teenager gets a speeding ticket, we might lecture about it, tell them what they need to do. Then instead of positive discipline, we ask the teen, “Wow, what happened? Tell me what was going on. What do you think caused that to happen?” We're having to pause and wait for them to think and come up with answers. “Wow, what do you think you can do about this speeding ticket and what do you think you can do in the future about this?” Kristina Supler:                 Kelly I'm glad you brought up that example of teenagers and the speeding tickets because I was going to ask, is positive discipline geared more towards younger children? You talk about it's a philosophy designed to give parents and children really more tools to bring to problem solving, but it sounds like what you're saying is it can be used for children of all ages. Is that correct? Kelly Pfeiffer:                    It is. So, as a young child, I might only ask, “Wow, what happened?” if the child is three or four because they may not be able to process those questions. Then, when that same time gets to be six, maybe I'll ask, “Oh, what happened? What caused it to happen?” When they're older, I just add on the questions. By the time they're teenagers, we just added on more skills. We are inviting them to think about problem solving. So, it is for all ages and we do have to think about the child's developmental stage and age as to how we apply each tool. Dodie Blomberg:              Kelly, can I add to that? The beauty of this is it becomes their own self-talk. Right? So when they end up with a challenge or a difficulty, instead of saying, “Oh my gosh, I'm in trouble. Don't let mom or dad learn.” The self-talk might be, “Oh my gosh, what happened? What did I do? What do I need to do? How can I get help? How do I solve this?” They get a new self-talk that helps them solve the problem instead of just being afraid of getting in trouble. Susan Stone:                      How's it different than logical consequences? Dodie Blomberg:              I personally think logical consequences can be challenging. Most of us use them because that's what we're raised with. But often people use logical consequences as punishment. Let's think of a punishment that'll match this issue. The child is driving badly with their car and taking the keys away. Driving badly, take the keys away. That would be a logical consequence. Now that could also be a solution. It could be. If you sit down and have a good talk through conversation with your child and find out what their reasons were. Who was in the car? What made you drive quickly? Maybe underneath, you find out it has to do with that friend in the car who's always telling him to hit the accelerator. So, maybe a better solution is that friend can't drive with you. You can still drive the car to school, but you can't have that friend in the car. That might be a better solution. Kelly, ideas on logical consequences? Kelly Pfeiffer:                    One thing I want to add is if you're just trying to cause blame, shame and pain with your logical consequence, that's probably you're just trying to punish and then disguise it as a logical consequence. So to change the mindset to a positive discipline mindset is to focus on solutions because we can't change the past. We can only change what happens in the future and to focus on really what might be helpful because if we're just using blanket consequences, they might not be helpful at all in solving the problem. But just like you said, Dodie, drilling down to, “Oh, it's the friend. Oh, then let's focus our solution on- Susan Stone:                      Right skills. Kristina Supler:                 So Kelly, a question I have is when you're talking about having a conversation to think things through, analyze what happened, and arrive at solutions, how is that conversation and looking for solutions different from not imposing any discipline at all in the child? Kelly Pfeiffer:                    Oh yes. So lots of people think if you're not punishing or giving consequences, then you're being permissive and we're definitely not recommending permissive parenting at all. So, the solution-focused conversation is joint problem solving and also teaching skills for the future. So, if there wasn't a conversation at all and people just forgot about it and said, “Oh, don't do that again, honey.” We might call that permissive parenting because the parent is not addressing the problem. Another piece of this is timing to address the problem because right when the parents find out about a ticket or an accident in a car accident, the parents might be really upset. And the teen's probably really upset and that is not the time to have the conversation. So another piece of having this conversation is to wait until people have calmed down, everyone is calmed down so that you can focus on solutions. Dodie, anymore about permissive parenting for me. What's going on with [inaudible] Dodie Blomberg:              Yeah. The other thought I have is permissive parenting. The weight of the problem never sits in the child's lap or the teenagers lap. The parent holds the weight when you're going to, and now you're going to, and now the situation is and the parents is holding all the weight of the problem, right? The situation that happened. Ideally, you'd let the situation just sit in your teenager's lap and you're going to talk about how they're going to solve it. Let's talk through the ways you can fix this problem because it's your problem. Do you feel the weight of the problem? Does that make sense? Kristina Supler:                 Yeah and actually I am just… In your experience teaching this view of discipline over the many years that you've done. So I would imagine when parents engage in joint problem solving, does that help achieve more… I don't know, I guess what some might call buy-in from the child? To help be invested in the solution versus just feeling like I have to do this because my mother is making me. Dodie Blomberg:              Yeah. I want to add that. What often happens when we use punishment or quote consequences, it ends up being a wrestling match between us and the kids. Well, my parents and now I have to it's my parents' fault. Like all of a sudden, it's not the problem that happened. It's all about the parent. They're angry at the parent. So ideally, the problem would sit there and they kind of think of it as a visual, like sometimes we feel like we're opposite our child and we're wrestling with this problem back and forth. It said definitely setting the problem in their lap and then sitting next to them and you're both looking at this problem like, “Ugh, [crosstalk] that's a big problem.” Susan Stone:                      Team. I think that's the thing. We're on the same team. I'm with you. Let's get to the root behind these issues. Is there a psychological foundation of what's behind misbehavior? Dodie Blomberg:              Well, according to positive discipline, Rudolph Dreikurs came up with four main reasons people misbehave. If we back up even farther, all human beings want belonging and significance. If we think about that for ourselves, we all kind of know that. We like when we belong somewhere. We like when we matter somewhere, peer pressure, all of that, it has to do with belonging and significance. Besides being tired, hungry, or sick, right? The main four reasons people misbehave is they want attention, or they want power or they're feeling hurt so they do revenge or they feel so disconnected. They feel inadequate so they almost give up. So, there's kind of this range, it's attention and then power and then I don't have any connection, revenge, and then just kind of give up. You could almost see most misbehavior fall into those four categories for adults and children, like human beings. Kristina Supler:                 That's so interesting that the same tenants hold true for someone, regardless of whether they're five years old or 45 years old. Those root causes drive certain decisions and behavior. Susan Stone:                      Yeah. We all want to be loved. Is that the foundation at the end of the day? [crosstalk] I see by smiling, but our listeners can't see you. So I just wanted to say everybody's smiling and I hope you, listeners, are, too. Dodie Blomberg:              What we find is when people feel like they belong, they behave better. Our behavior is better. When we don't feel like we belong, we can kind of misbehave and create mischief. Right? Kristina Supler:                 Kelly, a question I'm wondering for you, Susan and I and our law practice, we represent students of all ages across the country who are confronted with a variety of legal issues. Part of the group of students we serve in particular are children with special needs. So, if you could speak to, particularly for our parents or listeners out there with children who have special needs, does this approach work for that population? How might you be able to adapt it or apply it? Susan Stone:                      Right question Kristina. Kelly Pfeiffer:                    So it does because even children with special needs have that primary goal of belonging and significance, but their idea of how to belong and feel significant may look slightly different. We may have to do a little bit more detective work to see, “Oh, they do want attention.” or “They are trying but they have some skill deficits that we're just not aware of. That's why the behavior ends up looking like this.” So, the positive discipline are trying to look at the goal or mistaken goal behind the behavior and for special needs children, it may take a little bit of extra work and getting into their world. That can be challenging if they have communication deficits. Sometimes we're making guesses at first, as we're trying to solve problems with our children or figure out what their mistaken goal is. When they can communicate well and they're older, we can ask them and possibly get some information. But when they're young and don't have language skills or they have language barriers because of the special need, if yes, it gets challenging, but these same principles are still all apply. There's actually a book Positive Discipline for Children with Special Needs that parents may want to check into or listened to. I think there's an audio version as well. Kristina Supler:                 That's wonderful. Susan Stone:                      Right. Came to appreciate. While Kristina and I were going through the training and I don't… Kristina, you want to know if you feel the same way is that there was a lot of subtlety to concepts that we think we know as appearance, that there are differences. And one of the refined differences between traditional parenting and positive discipline is the concept of encouragement versus- Kristina Supler:                 Right. [crosstalk] Susan, I'm so glad you brought that up because it was only through this class and the training that we did with Kelly and Dodie that I realized some of the… how I am guilty of sort of doling out praise versus encouragement. Though related, they are in fact very different concepts that ultimately foster difference, resiliency, and life skills. Dodie, can you tell us a little bit more about the subtle difference between encouragement and praise and why it's so important for parents to understand the difference between the two concepts? Dodie Blomberg:              So I appreciate you bringing that up. As a teacher, I started out my career praising and I'm really good at praise. I still have to keep my eye on it. So, praise is about the giver. It's about me, so “I think you did a good job. Oh, you look so pretty. What a nice painting.” Susan Stone:                      Yawty, I'm a praiser. Dodie Blomberg:              [crosstalk] I get it. It can be really challenging and it's, “I think you did a good job.” or “I like what you did or you didn't like I told you.” It's really a reflection of my judgment and it's not bad, but it's not that helpful. When we only use praise, our children become pleasers and are always looking for praise so they do something and they look, “Is this good, Mom? Did I do it right, Dad? Is this right?” If they don't like you, they don't give a flip if you like their work or not. It's almost like the flip side of it, right? Kristina Supler:                 [crosstalk] for those teenage years. Dodie Blomberg:              If you feel hurt, “Uh, forget it. I don't care what you think.” Right? Where encouragement is more about noticing people's forward motion. So, I noticed you got started on your homework. I noticed you made your bed without being asked. I noticed you filled the tank with gas. Thank you for that. Nothing big, like hurray, super great, like just acknowledging what people do. That's a forward motion. It's powerful. You can start with, I noticed, I appreciate, or I have faith. Those are lovely sentence starters and noticing people's forward motion. The other thing is you can use praise when people are successful, but when people make mistakes or aren't successful, you can't use praise, but you can still use encouragement. Right? So if your child comes home with a failing test, but you saw them study for it, right? You saw them. You can still use encouragement and say, “Oh my gosh, I saw you study so hard yesterday.” And you can even ask a curiosity question. “So can you take the test again? Are you able to figure out what you did wrong so we can practice some more.” Right? So you can still use encouragement and curiosity and still help our child feel better. Susan Stone:                      It's more genuine. Kristina Supler:                 Kelly, Dodie used a phrase or reference that concept curiosity question. What's that? Can you tell us more about a curiosity question? Kelly Pfeiffer:                    So generally a curiosity question begins with the words what or how. What's going on for you? Or what were you thinking in that moment? How would you like to solve this problem? Just being genuinely curious and I caution parents, don't ask a curiosity question if you're not really interested in listening to the answer. So some people might say, “I'm going to ask a curiosity question. How are you going to solve this problem by tomorrow at eight o'clock?” Dodie Blomberg:              Or what were you thinking? Susan Stone:                      I know that is not helpful. We have so much to ask you. Let me deal with a lot of mental health issues in our practice and especially the past year or so. Maybe even before, Kristina and I were seeing an increase in depression and anxiety, both in our student population and in the adults that we represent, does this method work with individuals who are experiencing mental health challenges? Dodie Blomberg:              So I think this work is encouraging work and what comes up for me is one of the things we talk about is connection. We all need connection. As like this last year and a half, we need connection more than ever. So, how do we stay deeply connected with people, even if they're depressed, even if they're having challenges, like making sure our children and our friends know that we are here, we've got them now, it may not solve any problem. But knowing that somebody has your back and is tightly connected to you can really help people feel a little better. Susan Stone:                      Kelly, can you give an example of how you would convey that to someone who's so anxious that they're having panic attacks and maybe don't want to do something because they're so whipped up into anxiety? Kristina Supler:                 Right. I have, I mean, we're getting into back to school season so for teens or children of any age who are anxious about the return to school and what the new school year is going to hold. How would you help foster connection and encouragement in the child who's just super anxious about returning to the classroom? Kelly Pfeiffer:                    One of our parenting tools and teacher tools is connection before correction. So, first we might acknowledge the feelings or validate the feelings that the child is having. Many times parents want to say, “Oh, it'll be fine.” and that is not acknowledging that the child's feelings, the students' feelings are real and valid. So when we might start with, oh, you're feeling anxious about blank, blank, blank, whatever the child has said. So, that is a connection piece first, and then listening to what the child says. So, listening is a connection tool, as well as validating feelings. Then after you think that the child has said everything, normally, I would notice that the child gets calm just being able to voice it because in self-regulation one of the essential skills that even preschoolers can do is just to name the feeling they're having. When we name the feeling Daniel Siegel system, Name It to Tame It. Naming the feelings help [inaudible] Susan Stone:                      Name it to tame it. Kelly Pfeiffer:                    Yeah. Susan Stone:                      I'm writing that down. Kelly Pfeiffer:                    That is the first step to self-regulation is naming the feeling that you're having. Then another tool that we teach is positive timeout. That means how can each person use tools to calm down either in the moment, or they might have to step away to go. I've told my kids if you ever need, if you're at school and you're stressed, just ask to go to the bathroom. Go to the bathroom, calm down. If that's what you need, it's a quiet space or try to do things in your own head. But one of our breakdown tools is positive timeout. Each person finding small tools they can use both while they're with people or if they need to step away and take deep breaths, count to 10, say three sentences about gratitude, what they're thankful for, whatever works for them, but it's a coping skills that are taught for anxiety or stress in positive discipline. It's really individual. Notice what your own body does to tell you that your stress and then use other tools, say name it to tame it and then calm down. Susan Stone:                      That was very powerful. Thank you so much. Kristina Supler:                 Ladies, thank you so much for joining us today, Kelly, Dodie.

I’m not broken, I’m not done I get up more than I’m knocked down Put myself right back the way I was found I have scars, you know I’ve sinned But they’re just souvenirs from where I’ve been The cracks just let the light come in, I’m not broken Who else feels like this is their mantra?? Maybe from a sickness or anxiety or the aftermath of 2020’s disruption and uncertainty? Maybe you’re grieving a friendship or the loss of a marriage like this week’s guest, Sarah Jane Nelson? Either way, hear us say – YOU’RE NOT BROKEN! You’re not done! Sarah Jane knows this painfully hopeful refrain all too well and the fingerprints of her own story of heartbreaking infidelity and divorce are all over her album released June of 2020, I’m Not Broken. “I had been telling other people’s stories [for a long time],” Sarah Jane tells us referring to her years of performance on Broadway, “and now I’m telling my own. And I’ve got some pretty big dreams for it.”  As a forty-year-old single mom with two kids, Sarah Jane is the picture of what grit and unwavering commitment to a dream looks like. I’m Not Broken is the result of six years of totally transparent effort to process her own pain and to “reveal the universal truths of people struggling to find hope as their fantasy falls apart.” All of our fantasies have fallen apart somewhere along the line. All of us need to remember, we’re not broken, and the cracks really are where the brightest light comes in.  The 12-track album is not to be missed and will bring life to any and every woman questioning how she’ll survive and if her story is worth telling. Spoiler alert: you will, and it is!   When the title track, “I’m Not Broken” was released, messages flooded Sarah’s inbox with women replying, thanking her, and sharing how they’ve survived their own broken stories. “Shame on all those people who said I shouldn’t sing my story…I have something to say that needs to be said, and there’s people that would like to hear it.” We all do! And finding other women out there who can stand with us and who have walked and endured the tough roads that lie ahead of us is crucial. Sarah wraps it up best:  “Admitting that I’ve gone through struggle – I don’t see that as weakness. I see that as strength.”  And we know well, we’re all stronger together. Where to find Sarah Jane: Website and join her email list & Patreon group to get updates and pre-order her new album, Shelby Park!

A girl in Star City, Arkansas grows up with loving parents who would flirt and sing in harmony to 1960’s break-up songs by Elvis Presley and Skeeter Davis. Summers were spent with her Mammy and Pappy traveling to bluegrass festivals in their motorhome, the little curly haired girl dancing to the fiddles and banjos, embraced by the tight-knit bluegrass community. Her father’s work takes the family to the bayou of Monroe, Louisiana where the utopia is interrupted when her idyllic home breaks up, rocked by infidelity that nobody saw coming and her world is turned upside down. She retreats to the radio, back to her sad country songs, stories woven around her own pain. In the aftermath, she is determined to split town to make a life is on her own terms. In a head-turning spin, a month after high school graduation, she wins the America’sMiss T.E.E.N. Beauty Pageant where she is scouted by a talent agent. She puts her college plans on hold, moves to New York and in a few short years, this small-town girl is making her Broadway debut in Julie Taymor’s “The Green Bird.” As if that wasn’t a ripe enough story for a roller coaster of a country song, fast forward a few years, girl meets boy, girl gets married, has children, spinning on stage after stage until her history catches up to her and she’s playing the part her mother originated, blown sideways by cheating. Once again, she hits the road, landing in Nashville and, as a newly single mother, she turns back to the country and gospel music from her childhood, writing her way to resilience, through the grief, and toward love. With her newest album, “I’m Not Broken,” Sarah Jane Nelson adds her own defiantly triumphant voice to the Americana-Country field. Set in a sonic landscape that recalls the era of artists like Wynonna, Kathy Mattea and Mary Chapin Carpenter, “I’m Not Broken” is an honest breath of fresh air, a deliberate throwback to the days when a fiddle, an acoustic guitar and a rich alto voice could celebrate the fullness of a life hard-fought and hard-won. Pedal steel, fiddle and acoustic guitar opens the record on the title track that lifts to an anthemic chorus that wouldn’t be out of place on commercial country a decade or two ago: “But I’m not broken, I’m not done I get up more than I’m knocked down Put myself back the way I was found” Moving from ballad to a rocker with a rolling banjo, “Reap What You Sow” is a foot-stomping slap to the woman who steals her man “You can take the laundry, the dishes, the dirty bathroom and the kitchen, oh the grass looks green but there’s something you should know”. She addresses the ghosts of her past with “Sins of the Father” and even gives us a beautiful acoustic version of The Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way,” finding the dark intimacy in the 90’s monster hit. This is a singer who fits the cliché: “she could sing the phonebook and make it sound good.” In fact, her search for her voice led her from musical theater to Shakespeare to a 2011 acoustic blues-influenced record of standards. But Nashville does a funny thing to artists, makes a singer into a songwriter and by singing their own songs, the songs bring out a truer voice, teaching the artist something maybe they had forgotten. As rich as cane syrup, Nelson’s honeyed voice is both resilient and vulnerable, gliding through the 12 songs with a gentle familiarity, as if we’ve known her all along. It’s clear this once-musical theater actress has deep roots in country music, as every note rings authentic. This is no small task and not many other singers could pull off this hat trick. Nelson had been toying with her songs for years, writing with babies on her lap, moving from NYC to Oregon to Los Angeles and eventually to Nashville with her first husband, also an actor. But the foundation of her marriage had been crumbling for years and cracked wide open in Nashville. The 12 songs on “I’m Not Broken” are the result of this shift from singing others stories to sing. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/confessionsofanactress/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/confessionsofanactress/support

O tema da semana é como educar seus filhos com afeto, sem castigos e punições. Disciplina Positiva é um programa baseado no trabalho de dos educadores Alfred Adler (1870- 1937) e Rudolf Dreikurs (1897-1972) que foi propagado pelos livros da americana Jane Nelsen. Para falar melhor sobre o assunto, entrevistamos a educadora parental e especialista emocional Luanda Barros. Juliana: Teria tentado manter a calma em momentos em que a criança está tendo um ataque de raiva. Nesses momentos, não adianta gritar, por de castigo, ameaçar tirar um brinquedo. Bárbara: teria preparado mais minha casa para a chegada de um bebê/criança. Muitos dos pequenos estresses dessa fase são puxar o fio da tv a cabo, abrir gavetas, invadir espaços perigosos. Quando mexi algumas coisinhas, a vida melhorou bastante. Camila: Falou? Cumpra. Muitas vezes fiz pequenas ameaças de tirar brinquedos e TV e voltei atrás na segunda chorada da criança. Seja firme! É difícil, mas vale. Eles aprendem muito rápido! Bárbara: livros Disciplina Positiva de 0 a 3 anos , da Jane Nelson + pagina do Paizinho Virgula! Juliana: quatro passos para a cooperação, por Jane Nelson: 1 - expressar compreensão pelos sentimentos da criança e se certificar do que ela está sentindo 2 - mostrar empatia - não necessariamente concordância ou permissão. Compartilhe as vezes em que você se sentiu de maneira semelhante. 3 - compartilhar os seus sentimentos e percepções. 4 - convide a criança a pensar em uma solução. Pergunte se ela tem alguma ideia sobre o que fazer para evitar problema. Se ela não souber, ofereça algumas sugestões até que vocês cheguem a um consenso. Camila: Minha psicóloga sempre diz: “o limite frustra, mas organiza”. Limites são importantes até para situar a criança, mostrar a ela que tem alguém tomando conta dela e que, por enquanto, ela não é a responsável pela vida dela.

As the Director of Sustainability for DuPont, Dawn Rittenhouse is an industry leader on the intersection between business and the environment.  As a key advisor and ambassador for DuPont, she guides its C-suite, businesses and customers on policy and fosters relationships with NGOs and organizations around the world. Dawn Joins Sustainable Nation to Discuss: Sustainable innovation and R & D at DuPont The evolution of corporate sustainability Using the UN Sustainable Development Goals for your corporate strategy Cross-sector collaboration Advice and recommendations for sustainability leaders   Final Five Question Responses: What is one piece of advice you would give other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers? I'd like patience and perseverance. I found like when I would go to overall business council for sustainable development meeting, there were people who were all in the same space as I was and we were all kind of support each other and you could leave regenerated again. Find whatever it is that can help regenerate too because it can be a challenging space to work in full time. What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability? The sustainable development goals. They're going to help us particularly as countries start to say this is what we're trying to drive through our policies, through our programs, through what they are investing in terms of how government does their investing. It is going to help set a much better stage for companies to bring their innovations to the market. What is one book you would recommend sustainability professionals read? This was a tough one. I stared at my bookcase for about 10 minutes the other night, trying to figure out which one of the books I would recommend. I came up with Profits with Principles which was written by Ira Jackson and Jane Nelson. It was published in 2004. They've still captured a lot of the essence of what you need to do to be able to accomplish sustainability. What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in the work that you do? The work of World Resources Institute is really good. They've got a lot of tools. They got the aqueduct so you can go in and look for water scarce and stressed areas. We were able to map all of our sites globally to see what our risks are from water. They've got forest watch for deforestation issues. WRI has created a lot of fabulous tools to help companies really get the science behind it. Where can our listeners go to learn more about you and the work that you're leading at DuPont? You can go to http://www.dupont.com/and our sustainability pages there is probably the best place to see what DuPont is doing.

For the past little while, Atlanta based artist Erin Jane Nelson has been travelling to barrier islands, monuments and sites relating to climate change to make photographs. Her pictures, though, serve as her starting points to what become elements in her mixed media work. Its most recent incarnation is in both ceramic and tapestry, which is being shown at the Whitney this month in a group show called Between the Waters. Aside from her own artistic practice, Nelson is a curatorial assistant at the High Museum in Atlanta in both the Photography and Folk art departments. She recently curated an exhibition called A Fire That No Water Could Put Out, a survey of civil rights photography from the museum's collection. She’s also the co-founder of an artist-run gallery called Species that she and her husband, artist Jason Benson, ran out of their studio in Atlanta.

Today in Episode 136 we are talking about natural consequences. What are they are why are they so effective? Definition: Natural consequences to children are things that happen as a result of behavior (or lack of it) with no interference by an adult. The cool part is that you get to teach your children important lessons, without being the bad guy. Here are a couple of examples: 1) If you stand in the rain, you'll get wet. So when you ask them to put on a raincoat, bring an umbrella, or rain boots, they will get wet and probably be pretty uncomfortable. 2) If you don't eat, you get hungry - How many times do we tell our kids to make sure they eat before they leave somewhere. If they choose not to and then get hungry, it's not going to be fun. 3) If you forget your lunch, you are going to be hungry - Parents will often save the day by running back to the school. 4) If you forget your backpack, you will turn in your assignment late - Again, parents will often bring the backpack to school for the child. 5) If you don't bring a jacket when it's cold out, you will be cold - You can tell them it is going to be cold but until they experience it, they may not understand. They will begin to believe what you say. 6) If you don't read the lesson or study for the test, you will get a bad grade. It's up to them if they want to get good grades. Again, if your child is not concerned about their grade, you are going to have to figure that one out. This is probably your concern and not theirs. But for most, they want to do well and will remember when something is due. The key with all of these is that you first have to have the discussion with your child about the consequences. You can't just spring it on them as they may not understand what the risk is. Also, this doesn't work in every situation. For example, your child doesn't put their clothes in the hamper. You might say, "only the clothes in the hamper are getting washed." Yet your child doesn't care about wearing dirty clothes. It's certainly not going to work in that situation. A big proponent of this is Jane Nelson, author of Positive Discipline. She also indicates there are times when natural consequences are not practical: 1) When a child is in danger (like playing the street) 2) Take time for training (typically use logical consequences, like a toddler crossing the street. Punishment does not work) 3) When natural consequences interfere with the rights of others 4) When the results of children's behavior do not seem like a problem to them, they are ineffective (my laundry example) The cousin to this concept is Logical Consequences. These are different in that they require the intervention of an adult. People often get them confused. If it requires any intervention from you, it's a logical consequence. We'll have to have another podcast about logical consequences. So use natural consequences where you can. As difficult as sometimes it can be, you'll begin to see behavior change as a result.

In episode 127 we cover how to stop kids from talking back. There are a few other terms for "talking back" or "back talk. These can be: - smart mouth - being snappy - sassy - giving lip Every parent will experience some form of this. It seems to happen when they get around grade school age - 5 or 6. They want to engage you whether it's positive or negative. Remember our discussion about negative discipline in Episode 109 You can't give in to this. Jane Nelson, author of Positive Discipline says that "when a child talks back, what he's really expressing is anger, frustration, fear, or hurt." So the reality is they are probably feeling something and don't know how to express it. So they do they by talking back. What can we do about it? Here are a few tips: - #1 tip - Ignore them. If you are in a situation where that is possible, simply don't engage with the behavior. Be prepared they may escalate it so ignoring is not always the ideal answer. - Don't take it personally - As Jane Nelson say, something else is going on. It may have nothing to do with you. If you approach it that way, you will be more inclined to not be negative yourself. - Show empathy - Because there could be something else going on, showing empathy may help diffuse the situation. "You are really mad about not being able to watch TV. I can understand how that can be frustrating." - Offer Options - Instead of TV, you can read a book in your room or play with your legos. Which one do you prefer? - Give warnings on time - A lot of battles are over time: coming inside for dinner, only playing a video game for so long, etc. Provide warning of how much time is left for the activity. - Connect with Them - It may simply be that they need your attention. Check in with yourself and them and see if it's something you can provide. If not right at the moment, schedule it with them and let them know when it will happen. "After dinner, do you want to play some cards? I'd love to play with you." - Set Clear House Rules - If speaking respectfully is a house rule, make sure you are doing the same. You'll want to make sure they aren't learning the snappy attitude from you. - Positive discipline - Be sure to re-enforce good behavior. Listen to episode 109 if you need some pointers for that. Pushing back is a part of growing and will serve them well as adults. The key is us teaching them how to push back. We need to teach them how to communicate effectively.
