![]() Stephanie Blackwood “really loved the structure of the museum because it went from ancient times all the way to the 20 th century.” Saying, “It really helped me imagine how my ancestors actually live and was a window into the past and the entire story of Greece.” The participants particularly enjoyed the byzantine iconography and the jewelry. HIs story is particularly inspirational because Benakis was able to be a member of the Diaspora and still give back to his Mother country like we hope our participants to do in their respective lives and careers. The founder of the museum, Antonis Benakis, was a successful collector and a member of the Greek diaspora like the participants. The next stop for the night was the Benaki museum, which houses an array of artifacts from classical times up to world war two propaganda posters. HG participants and ACG peers got to practice their art skills while recreating ancient clay artifacts. Upon reflection of the activity at the museum, participant, Moxey Polles commented: “The parallelism between the art of the museum and the art we were able to make, made me feel connected to my roots and get a glimpse into what life was like back then.” The museum ran a experiential learning exhibition on Cycladic art, and gave the participants an opportunity to make their own clay artifacts. ![]() The Greek Cyclades Islands are a group of Islands southeast of Athens in the Aegean Sea and are home to some of Greece’s most beautiful beaches. The Museum of Cycladic Art was founded in 1986 to house the collection of Cycladic, Ancient Greek and contemporary art belonging to Nicholas and Dolly Goulandris. JUMP! Group #2 of HGers soaking in the experience of the ancient Acropolis!Īnother morning and afternoon spent at the temples lead into an evening at two of the most important museums in Athens: The Museum of Cycladic Art and The Benaki Museum. The morning trek at the Acropolis was guided by an official tour guide and met with the morning sunlight. After hearing of the adventures from the parallel group the day before, the participants were even more excited to embark on Thursday’s adventures! The Cape Sounion group was also able to experience swimming below the temple in a small cove, all the while being careful to avoid the prickly sea urchins. For the HG participants who visited the Acropolis on Wednesday, today was the day to make the trek to Cape Sounion, and for the participants who had already experienced the beauty of The Temple of Poseidon, Thursday was spent touring the ancient ruins of atop the hill of The Acropolis. After the time-out is over, tell your child why the toy was in time-out and then have your child say why the toy was in time-out.Today was yet another adventure into the Athenian classical time period, visiting the Parthenon of Athens and the Temple of Poseidon in Cape Sounion. To do this, just take the toy away and put it in time-out. It is a way to teach your child self-control and still decrease misbehaviors without too much time spent in time-out by your child. Putting the toy in time-out can be used if you do not want to put your child in time-out too often. If your child is mishandling a toy or fighting with another child over the toy, you can consider putting the toy in time-out (and not your child). Then follow the regular time-out procedure with both children. Make sure to send the children to different time-out spots. Putting both children in time-out is better because you do not have to take sides, you do not reward the children with attention for fighting, and both children are equally punished. Choosing sides does not allow children the chance to solve their own problems. ![]() When two children are arguing or fighting, knowing who started it is less important than giving a consequence to both children for misbehaving. Make sure your child’s brothers and sisters are also not giving him attention in time-out. ![]() Do not look at your child, do not talk to your child, and do not touch your child. No one should give your child any attention while he is in time-out. Try to do what you would normally be doing when your child is in time-out, but stay close enough to know if your child is doing anything dangerous or tries to leave the time-out chair/spot.
