Note from Mrs. Taylor
Hi families,
This week we are back in the swing of things! This time of year, is a great time for teachers and parents to review with students the expectations of the building/classroom. After a long break and colder weather, our teachers take time to go back over their procedures with students, in order to set students up for success. We all need little reminders to help hold us accountable in life! Children need the same reminders. When a child is still unable to follow that expectation, we respond with statements of empathy. :)
BIST Tip: Statements of Empathy
As adults, we need to let the child know his/her problems are a part of being human. Other children and adults experience similar problems. When talking with your child it’s important that we acknowledge the child’s feelings and how difficult it is to solve problems. Here are some statements you may use to show care and understanding for the child:
- “I know this is hard.”
- “It’s hard for me when I have to work through my problems.”
- “I know this is tough, but I’m here to help you.”
