A popular approach in teaching is what is being called “Teaching Out Loud”. The approach advocated by many of those who use the term is in many ways closer to “Teaching Boldly” (or “Teaching Loud”) than it is to Teaching out Loud. The idea is to advocate for the courage to try new things and to teach the ways students learn. While this is important, there is another approach that has received far less attention, but that is equally important, especially with adult learners. This approach is called the Teach Aloud Protocal (T.A.P.), and it draws inspiration from the “Think Aloud” idea in psychological and educational research. The basic idea is that the ‘subject’ says what they are thinking about as they complete a task. The goal is to learn about the thought processes the subject is using. Given that, “Teaching Aloud” should be about the teacher explaining their reasoning and thought processes while teaching. This presentation will relate the author’s experiences with this approach and discuss some of the implications of adopting a Teach Aloud Protocol in higher education courses.

Over parenting is harmful for children Shadman Ameen
Over parenting harms children's creativity according to the document. Authoritarian parenting is most common in Bangladesh which lacks flexibility. Parents prioritize academic success over creativity. Increased school competition from creative questions has raised dropout rates. While parents want to protect children, overprotectiveness stifles creativity. The research suggests permissive parenting allows freedom and is best to develop children's divergent thinking skills.

The book discusses how good parenting can literally alter brain patterns in children, especially during early childhood. It notes that character matters more than IQ, and that character is developed through overcoming failures. Good parenting provides a secure base and buffers children against stress, while overparenting prioritizes academics over emotional needs. Developing traits like grit, optimism, self-control and flexibility better prepares children to handle challenges. The best way to equip children for success is to protect them from chronic stress, have a secure parental relationship, allow independent problem solving and manage expectations.

The document discusses three parenting styles: authoritarian, permissive, and democratic. The authoritarian style involves parents controlling problem-solving and using fear to get children to obey. The permissive style allows children freedom without consequences for their actions. The democratic style combines firmness and respect by giving children choices and allowing them to learn from their decisions.
Helicopter parenting has sparked much debate over the years. The term “helicopter parent” is defined as a parent who is overly involved in the life of his or her child.

It discusses addressing situations like children misbehaving and offers a parent's pledge to love, listen, praise, and respect children while enjoying time together.
The parent-child relationship consists of unique behaviors, feelings, and expectations between a parent and child. Parenting is the process of promoting a child's development from infancy to adulthood using different styles such as authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, or detached. Factors like family structure, social support, relationship history, and culture influence the parent-child relationship. A healthy relationship is maintained through flexible communication, discipline, boundaries, and connecting with the child by playing games, casual conversation, and visiting new places together.
The document discusses different parenting styles and their effects on children. It describes authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive parenting styles. Authoritarian parenting involves strict rules without discussion, while authoritative parenting uses discussion and negotiation. Permissive parenting allows children freedom with few rules. Authoritative parenting is associated with well-adjusted children, while authoritarian parenting relates to anxious children and permissive parenting relates to rebellious children. The document also defines child abuse and discusses causes and ways to prevent it.
The document describes a parenting seminar that teaches parents different parenting styles, discipline techniques, and guidance strategies. It outlines a 6 step process: 1) Take a quiz to determine your parenting style. 2) Learn about different discipline concepts. 3) Understand effective discipline and guidance. 4) Learn about natural and logical consequences. 5) Create a script demonstrating parenting styles. 6) Make a "Top 10" tips list as a reference for parents.

2. Introduction Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] Congratulations! You and your spouse are the proud parents of twins! You both are pleased to announce the arrival of baby Annie and baby Charlie. You have planned for this for several years and can’t wait to bring your two bundles of joy into your busy lives. You and your partner settle into life with “the twins” soon enough and think that life can’t ever possibly be rough with those two smiling faces in your lives! … 5 years later… Screaming, crying, temper tantrums, name calling—and that’s all just between you and your spouse! You look back and can’t remember where things went downhill. It all seemed so simple before, what you wouldn’t trade for those early days when Annie and Charlie were babies. Now you and your spouse are trying to juggle work schedules, kindergarten schedules, meal times, and so much more. Everything seems to be amplified because there’s double of everything to do. Activities together as a family on the weekends stopped a few years ago. Often the evenings end with the house in a mess, and the twins running around way past their bedtime and not listening to either of you. Often, the children throw tantrums in the grocery store over a candy bar, usually you give in to avoid the screams and stares from other customers. It’s all you and your partner can do to fall into bed every night exhausted, facing yet another day of the same. Concerned about your family, your friends Sam and Jen (whose children are the best behaved on the block, of course) come over one evening to drop off some hand-me down clothes for the twins. Soon the topic of conversation turns to parenting…Jen hands you a pamphlet for a parenting class she and Sam took a few years ago. As you say your goodbyes, Sam mentions that they’ve been worried about you both and urges you to give the number on the pamphlet a call, saying “it changed our lives”…the next morning you find your spouse sitting at the kitchen table with the pamphlet in hand. You hand the phone over, sighing “Let’s do it- go ahead and call”… Process 2

This is a great way to approach discipline with your children, it makes it easy for the child to understand the why behind the consequences you give them. Read through each page on the website and click on the arrow at the bottom of the screen to move to the next page. Make sure you notice the differences between natural and logical consequences. 5. Now that you know a little about your parenting style and how that can affect your interactions with your children, let’s create a situation so we can explore parenting styles a little more. Open a Word document and write a short script (1/2 page) using Mary (mom) and Jess (son). Show how Mary can use 2-3 of the “tools” you identified earlier to guide Jess. -Here’s the scenario…..“ Jess, age 6, just doesn’t follow instructions. His mother Mary, has to tell him 5 or 6 times to clean up his room or to pick up his toys. When he’s called to dinner, he often doesn’t come. When he does come, Mary ends up nagging him to finish eating. Jess is nearly impossible to get dressed in the morning because he dawdles and mom ends up nagging and getting his clothes on him, just to avoid being late for school and work. When he is told to do something, he typically whines, “I don’t wanna” or do I hafta?” 6. Finally, we want all our participants to leave our seminar with a personalized guide to take home. This will make a great reference sheet for you and your spouse when it comes time to guide and discipline your children. In the same Word document, create a “Top 10” list of the best tips and tricks that would be useful for you and your partner to use with your twins, Annie and Charlie. See your rubric on the evaluation page for guidelines. **You may be asked to present your short script and/or your poster to the class. Make sure the poster is visually appealling and can be read from a distance.**

13. The Process (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion This was designed to be a single-participant WebQuest. Ideally, the lesson would be taught during one (1) block period of approximately 90 minutes, in a computer lab setting. If desired, this lesson could be utilized as a partner computer activity, both partners would share the computer to visit the websites, answer the questions, create the short script and the poster. The Process pages for the students are fairly descriptive and self-explanatory. The text in red are the directions for what the student must complete for that step. If more or less note-taking is desired, then the teacher may modify what is required to turn-in as they see fit.
