School Awards I'd Like to See

5/26/2016

Every year we reward kids for perfect attendance, good grades/scholastic performance, and athletics.

Beyond showing up, studying, and being good in sport, I'd like to see rewards for the development of kids' values, heart & soul.

And, as a father of four, I believe that education, in a broader sense, should ALSO include emotional and interpersonal education, preparing our youth to function in a difficult and challenging world.

In addition to the "usual" awards, in order to have a mentally healthy and strong future for our society, I'd like to see awards (at all grade levels) for:

Most Compassionate
Most Forgiving
Most Optimistic
Most Supportive of Others
Most Resilient
Most Perseverant
Least Judgmental
Best Listener

Passing tests, showing up, and being good in athletics is one thing. Encouraging and raising good people is another. Human and moral values are universal. Let's teach them, too!

We can teach emotional intelligence! We can teach forgiveness!

Let's reward & raise good people...for the mental health, sanity, and strength of our society.

Do you have any suggestions for rewards for our educational system?

The Fight for (Mental) Health

5/5/2016

Let's make this simple.

We spend way too much time battling over this food or that food in a battle for which food (and in what amount) is healthiest. Frankly, the debate, the twisting and spinning of study conclusions, and Big Food's massively funded efforts to confuse you (and the issue) to maintain the status quo is making me sick.

All this has been a big distraction from the often-overlooked area of Mental Health and our brain's role as the leader and keeper of our own personal healthy missions. It's hard to choose healthy when your mind isn't.

I'm excited and proud to be adding Mental Health into my overall missions of health.

Please, enjoy THIS post (from last month) and let me know (comment or share) if YOU think Mental Health is critical to lasting physical health (and well-being).

Thanks!

Dismissed!
