On Kids Who Hurt Other Kids: To look to the good

Instead of hurting another kid, say "Get away!"

 

Finding a replacement skill for yelling

 

Preschool is a prime time to teach them new skills

 

 

More from Colleen Nolan, M.A., NW Regional ESD, Oregon,who presented on "Understanding and Addressing Challenging Behaviors," at the Infant and Early Childhood Conference in Tacoma in early May 2012. --  a story about a preschool kid who hurts other kids, Below is the rest of the story. -gw

 

We focus on all those good things that he did

 

Now the other kids are looking for all the good things he did

 

She took the chance to teach him an appropriate way to ask for it

 

To look always at the good and not at the bad. If a man has ten good qualities and one bad one, to look at the ten and forget the one; and if a man has ten bad qualities and one good one, to look at the one and forget the ten.
