...on pinterest of course!
i had no idea where else to save it, so here seems like a good idea.
it's a great idea, and i'm going to be doing step one with bubble (and bug when she masters conversations in english and not just bugish) each night from now on. just hope my pregnancy amnesia doesn't get in the way!
"Bully-proofing your kids"
Starting when their son was 3, psychologist Tammy Hughes and her school psychologist husband started teaching him. At night, they'd say, "Tell me three good things that happened to you today." This helped him make the distinction between events and his feelings about them.
Once he had that mastered, they added, "Tell me three good things that happened to someone else (lesson: the world includes me and other people, their feelings and actions)."
Next they asked, "Tell me something you did that worked out well." and "Now, tell me something that someone else did that worked out well for someone else."
These simple questions help children differentiate themselves and others, and (teach them) cause and effect. If you can connect these ideas and feelings, then it helps children to prepare to identify bullying -- negative versus positive behaviors -- and who did what to cause the outcome.
