BIST Tip: Calm tone
What do you mean “calm tone?” If I’ve asked a student to do something for the umpteenth time, I’m far from calm! Just remember, that a child can either deal with the adult’s strong emotion or deal with the problem behavior. They cannot do both!
We know from experience, we are better listeners and problem solvers when we are calm. So if you find your tone is far from calm, it’s okay to take some time for yourself to relax before talking with the child. Stop, relax, think… and then problem solve.
You are your child’s best role model!
