So I listened, I helped him calm down, we talked about what happened.
His perspective was that the friend had said, I will play with you at recess today.
But when they got outside, the friend decided, you know what, I don't really feel like playing I think it was Spider Man.
I really want to play soccer.
And the friend said, Do you want to play soccer with me?
But the student didn't even hear that, didn't register.
All he heard was this friend promised to play with me.
And now this friend is not, so they're a liar.
Anyway, it it was a process of sort of helping this child not be as, as you said, rigid, concrete.
and understand that this friend does like him, does wanna play with him, changed his mind, which is a very human thing to do, especially when you didn't he didn't know soccer was gonna be an option at recess.
Once he saw it was, uh you know, it was okay for him to pick something different.
But that that's a good example of sort of helping kids interpret things differently and not take them quite as personally.
Yeah.
No, I think it's a great question.
And I think there's lots of things we can do.
One, I think it's helpful.
To teach kids just some physical ways to show strength, show confidence.
It's very easy for someone who is has more social power, more social savvy to sense in your body language, you know, your looking down or your quieter voice that maybe you're not gonna stand up for yourself.
So I think if we teach kids things.
making eye contact to the extent that they're able to, keeping a strong voice, a confident voice, but not a yelling voice.
