We model neutral and non-judgmental language to promote safety for our bodies and our feelings.

 

• We focus on “Okay” and Not okay” versus the words “Good” and “Bad”.

• We help kids think about what they could say/do differently when conflict arises.

• We use language to help children identify their emotions and handle them in a safe and productive way.

• We help children describe and talk about wants, needs, and differences in a neutral and non-judgmental way.
