1. Break into two groups
•Two groups will represent the strong child, showing fugues
•Two groups will represent the weak child, showing barriers 

2. Choose someone to take notes 

3. Reflect together and write 3- examples of strategies that can be used to help a child that has “flipped his lid”  or is about to “flip his lid” (specific to the characteristics of both groups)

4. One person representing the group will either write on the chat the strategies and share them.

Strategy: Foster independence, be encouraging about it! Model "I" statements to deepen communication skills and opportunities to express their emotions.

Strategy: 
-Talk to them, talk about / show the daily schedule, items left "to do" empathize of wanting to go home too.

Wanting to be held or cling to you
Fly under the radar

  1. For the children that shut down: Let them know that they have a place that they can sit down and have some time to themselves until they feel ready
  2. For the clingy children that want to be held or have hugs too often when they have tantrums: Give a limit on how long you will hold them give boundaries for our bodies, have a conversation about feelings before hugs
  3. For a child that gets anxious around groups and transitions: give them different strategies for handling transition times and space for them to have independence in their choice to be in or not in group activities
