An effective way to solve problems - You know how to eat an elephant? - No. How? - Bite by bite. Although I heard these words many years ago, I often remember them. Bite by bite. Step by step . We all need to remember them often because we are often paralyzed by fear of the task before us. I can not do that. I can't at once. Dad says he has to at once. And it must be without error. So often we were scolded, even insulted, when something came out the first time we do not do…

With beauty and joy against peer violence The problem of peer violence has been very present lately. Young people very often resort to various types of violence and thus can harm their schoolmates, but also themselves. Education on this topic is very important and should be constantly conducted.

A sure path to greater self-confidence How is it possible to see mistakes so easily and focus only on them? Why is it so hard for me to see what I'm doing well? These are questions I often hear from a lot of people. The answer to both questions is very simple - the school system has taught us that. It would be a miracle if all of us who have undergone a decade of "treatment" in a system focused on looking for mistakes and punishing for them have healthy and strong…

The magic of Harry Potter becomes eternal I refuse to believe that there is someone who has not encountered Harry Potter movies. You must have watched a scene of so many parts. Namely, who would not be attracted by the story of a boy who as a baby is left without parents and is left to his aunt and uncle who does not love him? He lives with thoughts of how worthless he is for almost eleven years, until he finds out overnight through facts that sound unreal when collected. He…
Do you make life difficult for yourself with perfection? Perfectionism is reflected in the expectation of oneself to achieve perfection in everything we do, to achieve everything from the first time, easily and without mistakes.

Even when the goal is achieved, there is no satisfaction,…
It's easy being a teacher, isn't it? The ancient Greeks said: "If Athens does not have a shoemaker, the Athenians will walk barefoot. If they don't have a tailor, the Athenians will be naked.

Before you think you are depressed, check that you are surrounded by idiots In the title of this article, I paraphrased a statement attributed to Freud. I don't know who the author of this saying is, I'm not sure it's Freud, but it makes a lot of sense. In my opinion, idiots are too harsh a word, instead I would say - make sure that you are not surrounded by people who treat you badly and do not respect you. Many times I have heard or read that someone says, "The more we…
Share a smile, leave a like for love, and hate hatred I have already written about the Peer Team for Combating Violence, Abuse and Neglect, which was established in the school where I work back in 2011. , of which I was the founder and first coordinator.

Born in the USA - or "Once upon a time there was one country"? Yesterday my daughter sent me this picture and asked me if I liked it. At first I was surprised.
