The worry tree is a very useful resource for sorting out worries. It is a way of sorting them between hypothetical worries and real worries.
"Oh no, it's my turn. I absolutely hate doing this. Why did I sign up for this public speaking class anyway? I must have been out of my mind." "Great. This guy is going to call on me in front of everyone and I have no idea what to say. Here comes another moment of looking stupid." "They don't really expect me to speak on behalf of the whole organization do they? Why doesn't the CEO handle this? Why is the COO wishing me good luck? This is brutal." Fear Sucks Going through high school, and then later as a young professional I was not real excited about speaking in front of anyone other than my buddies or my family. Sure, I liked to be the life of the party, but that usually meant a very social atmosphere with plenty of latitude to be a goofball. Fast forward a few years and I was asked to speak in front of a company wide meeting of 400 executives and leaders with literally no warning and actually pulled it off. That might have been nothing short of a miracle...if I hadn't taken control. Fear had a grip on me, and wasn't interested in letting go for a long, long time. Fear is Power What I came to realize was that fear (as if it is some sort of being separate from me) was getting way too much credibility in my world. So one day I decided to kick fear's ass. I was tired of fear having all of the power in our relationship. I wanted to be the one in control...calling the shots...making the decisions...according to my plan. It wasn't as if I simply flipped some sort of internal switch and took control. Over time I forced myself to be in situations that were very uncomfortable. In the beginning I was miserable. But very quickly I realized one critical outcome of dealing with your fears: you don't die when you confront your fears! (Unless of course your fear has to do with wrestling a lion...then, yes...you're going to die.) Power is Good The result of this painful yet necessary step was a fairly sudden power shift. Wow! I kind of like this power thing. What a difference! Now I get fired up about getting up in front of a crowd (large or small) and actually enjoy myself. No more cursing the fact that people will be looking at me and watching for a slip up. I don't care about that anymore...what I care about is no longer wasting my time dealing with that thing called fear, and doing whatever I want to do. How About You What is fear doing to you? Are you being held back because that arch nemesis of yours has you quaking in your boots? I recommend you decide to do some ass kicking of your own, and take back what's rightfully yours. I'd love to hear from you. No Excuses. pic

Yes, you read that title right. We just had a new student with autism transfer to our school who is a stickler for his constitutional rights. During the last week, we've heard some interesting things such as: * Telling him to be quiet in the media center is interfering with his freedom of speech. * Asking him to place his stickers only inside his folder is imposing upon his civil liberties. * He couldn't be waving his napkin in someone's face because that would mean he would have to actually place the napkin inside the person's head. *If you lined him up with 100 other kids his age, he would be smarter than 97 percent of them, because his doctor said his IQ was in the 97th percentile. There's been many other interesting conversations with him, also. He's very smart and I am probably not smarter than a 2nd grader! He used his pattern blocks to create a Jewish star and wrote "In memory of Anne Frank and the other victims of the Holocaust." Yes, we are testing him for gifted! In the meantime, I'm trying to come up with some ways to get the behavior more conducive to a classroom setting. Since he's such a stickler for rules, I made this Student Rights and Responsibility handout that you can download for free if you click on the picture. There are 3 different versions. Does anyone else have any suggestions for dealing with such a logical, by the book student? I'm sure we'll be needing a lot of help with this student! On another note, I've been trying to keep track of all the special ed bloggers that I come across in blogland. We're in such a minority, and I want to know all of you that I can!
