TITLE:

Classroom Management: Why They Say No: Approaches and Techniques for Managing Resistance.

DESCRIPTION:

No matter what we do or where we live, we inevitably run into resistant people-both children and adults. Imagine how much easier our lives would be if only others would not be so contrary. We spend a lot of time trying to get others to be more cooperative or receptive to our suggestions and to follow our instructions. But does resistance originate for their behavior? I believe it does not. Rather, it is our behavior that creates resistance. Do you disagree with me? If so, then I have just created your resistance! I can change that. I will demonstrate ways of changing your behavior to reduce resistance in others. The key is understanding the difference between knowledge and knowing.
