The person-centred approach was developed from the concepts of humanistic psychology. The humanistic approach “views people as capable and autonomous, with the ability to resolve their difficulties, realize their potential, and change their lives in positive ways” (Seligman, 2006). Carl Rogers (a major contributor of the client-centred approach) emphasized the humanistic perspective as well as ensuring therapeutic relationships with clients promote self-esteem, authenticity and actualisation in their life, and help them to use their strengths (Seligman, 2006).

Every teacher struggles with classroom management at some point in their career. The classes offered in most colleges talk about classroom discipline and student discipline, but much of the learning is left to the educator when they get out into the work force and begin teaching.

I know as my wife and I both began teaching, we each had our own classroom management issues and being a young teacher, found it very difficult at times to find a way to teach the students who wanted to learn while controlling the ones who did not! I am of the belief that as a professional, you never stop learning. Every teacher I know has to attend boring seminars and usesless workshops for one thing or another, with no relevance to their daily instruction whatsoever. There is no PRACTICAL information that is available to the teacher.

You have heard that it was said, “Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth. But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right check, turn to him the other also.
Matthew 5:38-39.

When I was a young boy, I could not understand this above-mentioned sentence, for it seems to be quite fatuous to turn the other check to an offender when being struck. The older I get the more logical this statement seems to me, and let me explain why.
