Helping children to develop healthy problem solving approaches and supporting language is an ongoing process. Guidance lesson two focused on the reinforcement of the T.I.M strategy: Tell your feelings, Ignore and Move Away. In particular, we practiced using “I” messages. Please feel free to encourage the same language at home when conflict arises.
Please can you stop chasing me (child must stop the activity, have eye contact and be specific)
I feel annoyed (child must state a feeling) when you chase me and we’re not playing that game (child must re-state the problem)
I want you to play the game by the rules (child must be specific with the solution/desired behavior)
