A HERO is someone who does something special to HELP OTHERS. Every hero STARTS as a CHILD, and every Child can CHOOSE to become a Hero... And I Know that YOU Can Be a HERO TOO!

TCN Mornings Episode 256 - Transcript for Wednesday, October 27, 2021

Hey kids! Hey parents! It's Wednesday, the 27th day of October. AND...... It is National Black Cat Day. Yeah, it’s really a thing. National Black Cat Day was established to bring awareness to the fact that in the world of cat adoption, black cats are often overlooked. So, if you’re a cat lover and you and your family are considering adopting a cat, National Black Cat Day asks that you consider adopting a BLACK cat.

And speaking of CATS, our story this morning is actually about a cat! But not just ANY cat... it’s about Jenny’s Cat. No, that’s the title of the story... Jenny’s Cat. And it starts right now.

The Beginning of a Hero - Jenny’s Cat

So, the two boys thought they were going to have some fun. What they didn’t consider was that it wouldn’t be fun for everybody. They learned it wouldn’t have been fun for Jenny. (Yeah, they learned that for sure!) And it wouldn’t have been fun for Jenny’s Cat either! They just didn’t thoroughly think through the situation before they acted. Also, did you notice that when Jenny’s mom talked to them, she was very plain about the fact that they causing harm by being hurtful and offered them a much better way of HELPING instead of hurting? But she did it with kindness and sincerity. She could have just really blasted them for their actions and attitudes, but she knew that would only create a bad relationship in the future. Jenny’s mom was a pretty smart lady, wouldn’t you say?

Well, just ahead, another visit with my Old Irish Pappy... Also, the Question of the Day, and A Reflection of Your Future...It’s all just around the corner here on this Wednesday edition of TCN Mornings.

But right now, let’s talk about how we might provide these stories for YOUR school! You know, over the past 22 years, these stories have been played during morning announcements in hundreds of schools around the country. Each story is about 2-minutes in length, and they are typically played twice a week. A story from the Beginning of a Hero series on Tuesdays and a story from The Beginning of a Famous Hero Series on Thursdays. If you think YOUR school would like to participate, just have your Principal or Counselor write to jim.lord@TCNmornings.com. Or go to TCNmornings.com and click Membership.

So, let’s start with a visit to the memory of My Old Irish Pappy, and as always, there's not a day that goes by when I don't remember something my Pappy taught me.

Always stand strong and take responsibility for yourself! Stop making excuses, but at the same time, have the courage to admit when you truly NEED some help.

Absolutely! Always stand strong and take responsibility for yourself! Stop making excuses, but at the same time, have the courage to admit when you truly NEED some help! Wise words there from my old Pappy.

And...here we go with the QUESTION OF THE DAY! Today is National Black Cat Day, and it has nothing to do with black cats bringing bad luck, but it’s about encouraging people to adopt black cats because black cats are often the last ones to be chosen for adoption. But.... your question is about exploring the bad luck reputation surrounding black cats. And here it is: Where and when did the whole black cats bring bad luck start? Where and when did the whole black cats bring bad luck start?

If you know the answer, email your answer to MYANSWER@TCNmornings.com. 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 MYANSWER@TCNmornings.com.

So, about the question from yesterday, we talked yesterday about pumpkins, so we had a question about that. Actually TWO questions. Although pumpkins can be found in many parts of the world now, where did they originate? And the second question is where did Jack O’ Lanterns originate?

Well it was Madeline from Athens, Georgia who said that pumpkins were first discovered in what it is now Mexico before it became Mexico. She also said, and I’m quoting here: There are two legends that Jack O’ Lanterns may have come from. One in the 1600s in England, and one in the 1800s in Ireland. Either way, the first Jack O’ Lanterns were not carved from pumpkins, because they didn’t have pumpkins in England or Ireland. Instead of pumpkins (which they didn’t even know about), they used turnips. So the first jack o lanterns were made from turnips, not pumpkins! Well how ‘bout that! And thank you Madeline for your answer there.

Okay, one more quick segment coming right up, but as for me, I will see you tomorrow for the Thursday edition of TCN Mornings right here on The Character Network.

Reflection:

Closer.

In Medieval France and Spain, black cats were considered bringers of bad luck human they came near, and were associated with witchcraft. Many Medieval Germans believed themselves to be cursed if a black cat crossed their path from left to right. ... In Japan, they are also considered to bring good luck.

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 Herois 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 info@thecharacternetwork.org so we can learn more about you. Thank you so much!
