This child is often engaged in positive interactions with both peers and teachers throughout the day. During center time, she collaborates with her classmates, using words to express her ideas and contribute to group activities. She demonstrates strong communication skills, comfortably sharing her thoughts with both peers and adults. When faced with challenging situations, such as becoming upset, it seems beneficial to gently guide the child aside for a one-on-one conversation. This provides a space for the child to express her feelings in a safe and supportive environment. After she has had the opportunity to share, a clear plan can be developed together on how to resolve the issue. It's important to consistently model and guide children in managing emotions and navigating conflicts. By offering these tools, we help children build emotional regulation and problem-solving skills that are essential for their social and emotional development.
