Positive Intent
Today was a day of getting back in routine. It’s hard for littles to be gone 4 days and return to school to listen , to be in large groups and be patient when waiting for toys.
I am cleaning out my resource room and brought a few things down. We found knight shields, fairy wings and house shoes. 🤷🏻♀️
Each of the kids got a little goodie to take home but we used these glasses
When a child takes a toy instead of shaming and getting angry we say “ you forgot how to ask. Repeat after me. When you are finished may I have a turn?” Positive intent
When a child is having a huge meltdown instead of throwing fuel on the fire you take a breath. “You are having a hard time. Do you need a hug?” positive intent
Offering positive intent is not always easy but it’s what we all crave – to be understood.
Do you look through rose colored glasses ?
