    I watched the original video and always say “feet on the floor please” to my toddler instead of “dont stand on the chair, youll fall” i try to remember to apply it to other situations too. 👍🏻

    These are great tips for older kids, also. Also sometimes with adults.

    Giving a directive in the form of a question is one I hear so often. The result is that teacher/para pro/adult often then reacts with frustration etc. when students do not comply with the implied directive. However, the children who are not complying are not ignoring the implied directive but are acting on the question they heard. "It's time for circle, who wants to come to the circle?" The message being received by a child is "I only have to stop drawing and go to circle time if I want to". They make the choice and then are told off for making the wrong choice. This situation can be very confusing for children.

    I'm guilty of #4 sometimes at clean up time 😬 Glad I watched this.
    What do you do when a child doesn't want to clean up and even says "no I don't want to, or wait just one more minute" or just totally ignores you and keeps playing?

    Love it . Thanks! I would add some teachers change their voice as a child’s one when talking to students. Also use very simple and limited words in order for children to understand( talking about English as a second language). I never limit my students to be exposed to rich natural language environment. Thanks Again for your awesome videos and tips. I would like to see some online tips and resources. Thanks Cindy

    Hi Cindy, I am a preschool teacher ages 3-4. I have a question, how do you feel about teachers using manners when talking to children? Let's say for example, giving a direction. On one hand i feel it is important for us as teachers to model good manners when communicating but on the other hand you want to keep your directions simple. I'm in a bit of a funk right now as it's that time of the year when the kids start to get antsy before summer and i love all of the great tips on you channel! ❤ ~Mary~

    • @positivepreschooltips
      @positivepreschooltips  3 роки тому +2

      Mary, I think it is important to teach (and model) manners just like any other skill. I encourage children to use their manners with adults and other children. A simple "Please" and "thank you" goes a long way :).

    I model correct behavior first, incorrect next, and finish with correct. But it’s ineffective if they don’t understand WHY which is good Vs bad
