Parents, Fellow educators, and Friends:
I have just discovered an awesome blog post that I think you might love. If you are an early childhood educator, parent of young children, or anyone who works with young kiddos, this could change your world for the better.
FLIP IT is a strategy used for dealing with the children who present challenging behavior. I.e. Refusing to work or throwing items. It presents four simple steps for helping children problem solve their behavior while maintaining positivity. It also provides tips that I found super helpful (what not to do, hat you sometimes find yourself doing).
Here's a little summary...
F: Feelings- state the child's feelings, show them you care
L: Limits- set and review expectations/limits, keep phrasing postivite
I: Inquires- start problem solving. Ask questions to help students think of solutions
P: Prompt- you can offer solutions to the child, but be enthusiastic so it is an opportunity for the child, not a chore!
That was the snapshot version. I highly suggest you check out the full blog & let me know what you think!! It will only take a few minutes of your time 😊
