It makes sense to the student to follow directions, do things in a logical sequence, work with the group, focus, finish the job, trust the teacher. As these critical skills are practiced, rewards for the child happen naturally, automatically. No judgement, no blame, no shame. As hearts start to mend and learning becomes successful, people of all ages, genders and economic backgrounds begin to rebuild their shattered lives. Fun, relaxation, pleasure, renewal, refreshment, friendship, connection all start to work their magic in the human spirit.
Lives change for the better.
