So at work we try to enforce good vocabulary skills to reduce the amount of conflict between the children (sounds like something adults should practice right?)
Instead of pushing another child because they took your toy we ask the child to say "not nice" or "no thank you"
Instead of telling a child to get down or sit down etc we ask them "where do your feet go?" And "how do we sit in a chair?"
I like it, it becomes a struggle bc you have to repeat it so many times. Teaching IS much harder than discipline. So to help me make a habit of this I started saying it in every day life. And we all know I spend a lot of time around Jj, so guess who else has made a habit out of it?
It's painfully cute and funny.
"No no Jj, not nice"
