Where Are My Keys?
August 10, 2012
Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers or you can grow weeds.

The researchers suggest three ways to force your perceptual and motor systems to get in sync so that you can improve your performance when tracking something down:
Think out loud. "Try naming everything you're looking through — even just in your head — before rejecting it.
Trust your gut. In the study, participants naturally slowed down when they selected the sought-after item — right before putting it aside. They seem to have had unconscious recognition that they missed the target. "So if you just know your checkbook is in your desk, it's probably worth taking a second peek.
Use all your senses. Pay attention to smells and textures, and sounds to help tease objects apart. Don't rely only on your eyes. "Hearing the jingle of keys or feeling the cold exterior of a smartphone can be just the jolt you need to realize what you are looking at."
Find solutions quickly and easily! This updated classic offers hundreds of tested solutions for the tricky problems, questions, and concerns that are part of every early childhood teacher's day. New topics include:
- Working with English-language learners
- Helping children deal with traumatic life events
- Assessment and accountability
- Working with mixed-age groups
- Using computers in the classroom
Each chapter also includes an updated resource list, as well as a list of web-based resources. For beginning and experienced teachers alike, this "how-to" book on classroom management is like having your own counselor in the classroom.
