To the lady who gave me my blonde hair, dance moves, rose colored glasses, sense of humor, love of ice cream, and so much more—HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! You’re TRULY the best.
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. 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
Love this.
