Glastonbury Public Schools Community Quarterly Newsletter

Restorative/Relationship & Stance on Technology Use

Glastonbury Public Schools is graciously sharing their recent community quarterly newsletter that showcases both Restorative/Relationship work in the district and their strong stance on Technology use.  In the interest of not having to reinvent the wheel, we thought it worthy of posting.  Kate Lund, Assistant Superintendent ( lundk@glastonburyus.org ) would happily connect with anyone about their efforts, successes and challenges in bringing restorative work to scale throughout the district.  We are also including the link to the newsletter on their website: https://www.glastonburyus.org/community/newsletters

The Whinypaluza Podcast

Rebecca Greene recently interviewed me on The Whinypaluza Podcast.

It was a great experience! We talked about the art of effective communication with teenagers. 

The Whinypaluza Podcast features bloggers, parenting experts, and marriage experts as they shed light on tips and tricks to make life with your family better than ever! I was fortunate enough to be a guest on the show. I found the experience to be both insightful and enriching. Rebecca is passionate about what she does!

Here are just a few of the topics we covered:


🌟 Bullying is a complex, multifaceted issue that requires understanding and compassion rather than simple labeling.

🌟 Effective communication and restorative practices are essential in creating a supportive and safe environment for all students.

🌟 Collaboration between parents, educators, and students is key to addressing and overcoming bullying.

🌟 Understanding and addressing the root causes of bullying can lead to more effective interventions and long-lasting solutions.

🌟 A culture of respect and empathy in schools combats bullying and promotes a sense of belonging and community among students.

🌟 Empowering students to be part of the solution fosters responsibility, leadership, and positive peer interactions.
