If you are a teacher or a childcare worker and are frustrated at the fact that for some children time out just doesn't work. You need to listen to Dr. Ross Green talk about Collaborative Problem Solving. Still looking for an alternative to Time out? If you are a teacher, a childcare worker, or anyone who works with kids and is frustrated at the fact that for some children time out just doesn't work. In fact, for some kids time out may actually be a reward because of the popularity it may provide for them from other kids.

We need to treat children different today and this approach holds a lot of insights into that new approach. psychology podcast, psychology no 32:12 Michael.Britt@ThePsychFiles.com (Michael Britt)Still looking for an alternative to Time out?

That’s the question we examine this week on the first video episode of The Psych Files. I got a little ambitious and decided to do a video podcast. One of my favorite topics (I suppose many people’s favorite topics) has to do with how romantic relationships begin and why some relationships flourish while others don’t. Well, this is a topic that psychologists have studied in great depth and some time back I had one of my classes conduct a survey on the topic. So this video podcast has 3 parts: 1) a little background on 3 theories which relate to how relationships begin, 2) a quick overview of the survey my class and I created, and 3) a look at the results using a very neat new program called InspireData (from the Inspiration concept mapping people). I really had fun putting the video podcast together and I hope you find it informative.
