170 TSP Get Creative

Suzuki teachers and parents role model coping and managing strategies about life for our students and children. This takes a lot of work. We have to think of what to do as a role model as well as think about what our students and children need to see in their role models. This can be an enormous drain of our time and energy. We need to draw from enormous reserves of creativity. Today’s episode explores ways that we can make this creative process easier.
