Nini White is the mother of 2 sons who’ve been inspiring her and making her laugh since the days they were born. When, in their early years, she attempted to increase the boys’ social and life skills, it became stunningly clear that what she (like all parents) wanted them to understand was not going to be convincing if their schoolmates and friends weren’t “on the same page.”
Nini had several years experience assisting college professors with curriculum design, development and delivery, so she reasoned that creating a curriculum around social and life skills for young students was do-able. She simply had to make every lesson lively, fun, relevant, lively, full of variety, age-appropriate, lively, interactive, respectful of the children’s intelligence, lively, etc., etc., and etc. ... to keep all the students, including her sons, fully engaged.
Happily, her classes were a big hit with the 1st and 2nd graders (as well as their parents who were noticing positive long-term effects). After about 3 months Nini created and began presenting lessons for all the grade levels up to 12th, with equally positive effects (in spite of the upper school students’ initial resistance).
Thunder Blunders® games and books were created (and tested in over 50 various classrooms) to effortlessly enable all students, all teachers and all parents to enjoy similar positive experiences.
