Help Your Child Overcome Stage Fright at an Early Age
Odyssey of the Mind, or "OOTM"...Now, I am a Dad of two wonderful children and I am extremely proud of them. That said, I am only pushing this program because it has worked for my children. Both had slight cases of STAGE FRIGHT. Now, they DO NOT!!!
I have been both, a coach and a judge for this program for two years running. Additionally, I am happy to say our school, Laurel Ridge ES did extremely well, as two teams were representing. Division II was awarded first place and Division I placed well ahead of several other schools. Our Division II will be competing in the Virginia State Tournament.
I do encourage you as a parent to check with your child's school to see if they to support OOTM. If so, you may want to talk with the OOTM's Coach to get a quick overview. Below is a short summary followed by a very detailed informational video.

9 年I had a window of opportunity, which was cosponsored by the U.S. Department of State and the University of Oregon, to attain a pedagogical method on how to lead students in class to accomplishing class objectives as a training teacher. More than anything else, a key to success to this topic may center on autonomy of students or children or learners, so that they'll be able to actively be involved in the target field of what they really want to do. Of course, the role of teachers or parents must be restricted to minimum monitoring or providing guidance to students or children as the creativities of theirs are beyond the imagination of teachers or parents. Thanks for a superb post, Sir John. :)
