Your Child Builds Their Social-Emotional Toolkit
In an environment that rejects the languages of blame, judgment, and coercion, children learn to use Compassionate Communication.
- The NVC language process offers 3 options for connecting: self-empathy, self-expression, and showing empathy.
- Children focus on 4 steps: Observations, Feelings, Needs, and Requests.
With shared power and communicative interactions, everyone has their needs met.
Teachers use 4 types of redirection to help kids stay on track:
- Verbal: A simple instruction guides a child to appropriate behavior.
- Physical: A simple instruction combined with a gentle touch interrupts challenging behavior and redirects the child.
- Cues: A picture or gesture paired with an instruction steers a child back on track.
- Attention: The focus turns to a nearby child who is behaving appropriately.
Teachers use these techniques to model and guide behavior to help children develop self-regulation and self-control.
