TCN Mornings - Monday, October 4, 2021

Hey kids and parents, welcome into your Monday, the 4th day of October. And today is Kanelbullens dag. Say WHAT? Kanelbullens Dag. Now, if you are Swedish, you KNOW what I just said...although I probably didn’t pronounce it correctly. Kanelbullens Dag means Cinnamon Bun Day in the Swedish language, which is what is spoken in Sweden. Apparently it is celebrated on October 4th (actually, it’s the FIRST Monday in October) because the Home Baking Council (whoever that is) did not want the day to compete with other food traditions. So, there ya are! Happy Cinnamon Bun Day to you!

Well........ Coming up is a story that’s actually ABOUT a cinnamon bun...or cinnamon roll. Okay, it’s not ABOUT a cinnamon roll, but it does MENTION a cinnamon roll! It’s called Come to a Complete Stop, Then Proceed. And it starts right now.

Play Come to a Complete Stop, Then Proceed:

So, have YOU ever seen a situation kind of like the one in the story there? How did the people involved react toward each other. Have you ever accidently injured someone else or nearly injured them? How did they react? How did you respond to their reaction? And finally, have YOU ever lost your temper toward someone else who accidently got in YOUR space? How SHOULD you have reacted instead? Just some questions to ask yourself on this Monday morning.

Okay, so you’ve been hearing me talk about listening every weekday morning to TCN Mornings, and that you can simply go to TCNmornings.com and play each daily episode from there OR you can download the TCN Mornings Mobile App by simply searching TCN Mornings in Google Play or the Apple App store, and that is just how simple it is! Well... you can also simply search TCN Mornings WHEREVER you get your podcasts! Yeah, whether it’s Spotify, or Apple Podcasts, or GOOGLE Podcasts, or PocketCast, or Breaker, or Radio Public, or Anchor FM, or WHEREVER! TCN Mornings. Now, it’s simply EVERYWHERE!

Well, Straight ahead: Another quote from My old Irish Pappy, the Question of the day, and, A Reflection of Your Future. It’s all comin’ up right here on this Monday edition of TCN Mornings.

Stinger

So, my Old Irish Pappy. And the things I learned when I was your age about life and how to live it better. As I’ve said before, there's not a single day that goes by when I don't remember something my Pappy taught me.

Dream transition.

Pappy quote...

Yeah! Don’t be one of those people who’s always saying, “That’ll never work!” Doubt, disbelief, and discouragement become a bad habit—a real waste of time and energy. Try instead to make it work, or at least figure out how the same goal could be accomplished in another, more effective way. Learn to be an encourager to yourself and to others.

Start bumper up and under...

Now... It's time for the QUESTION OF THE DAY! Well, today is Cinnamon Bun Day, so this seems like a good time to learn something about cinnamon! You know that cinnamon comes in powder form in a small bottle from the store, but your question is WHAT is cinnamon, and where does it come from? (You know, before it gets ground up and put in small bottles and delivered to the store...) WHAT is cinnamon and where does it come from?

If you know, email your answer to [e-mail]. Tell us your first name, your city and state, and of course, your answer, and the first correct answer will be featured right here TOMORROW. That email address again is [e-mail].

So, Last Friday, you remember was National Less Than Perfect Day, and it was a day to start realizing that none of us is perfect, and that we all make mistakes, and we need to just do the best we can and not worry about it. But we got a little deeper into that subject by asking this question: What is a perfectionist?

Well, Jayden from Tampa, Florida says a perfectionist is a person who has the need to be or to appear perfect! It’s a person who cannot accept that they are not perfect and that everything they do needs be done perfectly. And, Jayden, that pretty well sums it up, I think, so a big THANK YOU for that. And let me add, being a perfectionist is not necessarily a bed thing, as long as you KNOW you are in reality NOT perfect, just like nobody else is perfect. But having the incentive to do you BEST work in everything you do is actually a GOOD thing. The bad part comes in when you have something that needs to be done and should be done, but you don’t do it at all because you know you can’t do it perfectly. The bottom line is that you should always do your BEST at whatever you put your hand to do, and always do the things that need to be done or that should be done whether you feel you can do them perfectly or not.

Alright then, don’t go away, one more quick segment for you, but as for ME, I will see you tomorrow for the Tuesday edition of TCN Mornings, right here on The Character Network.

Abby’s Deeper Thinker;

Reflection:

Closer.

Dear Parents,

After years of development, trial, and revision, we are so excited to now share with you the most effective version yet of our Proactive Bully Prevention Program that has proven to "change the culture" at hundreds of campuses across America in profound ways. Research has shown the TCN Method™ to be the single most effective school based Violence and Bully Prevention Intervention of its entire genre. We have hundreds of testimonials from educators describing the results they have gotten, and you can view many of these at www.TheCharacterNetwork.org/Testimonials

This program, The Beginning of a Famous Hero™ is used in conjunction with a companion program called Bully Alert!™ in schools played over the intercom during morning announcements twice or more each school week, and backed up by a common culture which reinforces the principles taught, at every turn, and incorporates the phrases of the academic language during any teachable moment.

These two sets of stories work together to convey a common academic language which says, “A bully is a person who hurts others on purpose (even if it’s just hurting their feelings) but a HERO is a person who HELPS others. So CHOOSE to be a HERO by HELPING instead of a bully by hurting.”

They also promote the concept of POSITIVE PERSONAL VISION, helping each student to realistically visualize his or her own "Future Self," and in doing so help relate consequences of actions and attitudes today (good or bad) to that future self.

It is the spaced repetition of these principles that makes the program effective. It is the 100% turn-key presentation that makes it easy!

This program takes VIRTUALLY NO TIME (only 4 minutes a week!) away from classroom instruction. But it also provides a common language across the entire campus when teachable moments occur!

The TCN Method has been extraordinarily successful in the past, in almost a thousand schools all across America, from California to New York, with a special concentration all over Texas, where The Character Network is based, and has been used to the benefit of well over a million students across the past two decades.

Then Covid struck, with the majority of schools ceasing in classroom instruction altogether for the majority of the previous school year, and after years of successful growth, we found ourselves in the very difficult situation of having to rebuild almost from scratch. So we started a morning podcast to help make the principles and teachings of TCN available to kids to have at home… but we need help from parents like you to get the word out, and also to help us gather financial support to once again make the method available again to not just the schools we lost due to Covid, but to every school and every child who could benefit and needs this going forward.

We invite you to become a coworker with us on our mission. Please start by visiting us at www.Patreon.com/theCharacterNetwork and considering becoming a sponsor for this work, and then dropping us a line at [e-mail] so we can learn more about you. Thank you so much!
