In class after recess, we are talking about different types of feelings. We talk about different situations that may cause different feelings (happy, mad, sad, scared, surprised, disgusted...). We bring those situations to life by "acting" them out with different student volunteers. Last week we talked about a situations that could happen and make us feel angry with another classmate. We modelled how to handle it using the words. We showed, by acting it out, how actions like taking things away or pulling on someone's hoodie can cause the other person to get mad. We showed how to handle the feelings using words:
"Stop, I don't like it when you pull on my hoodie."
In the next weeks we will review these concepts and continue with other lessons to develop skills in empathy and learning respectful words to help with problem solving.
At home, try to model the development of assertive language with your child ("I" statements). Your child may have fun acting out situations (family or classmate scenarios) with you. What would you say? Is it respectful of the other person? Try taking turns acting it out.
