The teacher said I won first place for my Volcano project for the science fair. How do I feel?
Proud
Excited
My friend excitedly say, "Xavier come one! Lets go play hide and seek!"
I say, "No I don't want to."
My friends say, "You always say no!!!!" crosses his arms.
How could he feel?
UPSET!
We need to be able to play the games our friends want too. We cant just play what we want every time. If we only play OUR games, our friends won't want to play with us anymore.
The center is closing. I tell everyone, "Hey everyone GET OUT! Its closed and time for you to go!"
Not okay! We all know the center is closing but everyone has to wait for their moms and dads to pick them up.
It is not okay to tell people to GET OUT.
Someone at the center tells me to leave the playroom and complete my bingo board but I don't want to do it yet. I begin to yell and cry. What can I do instead?
* I can ask for more time in the playroom and then do the bingo card.
* I can ask to do the bingo board a little bit later.
We are playing a game of Uno. My friend wins but i really wanted to win! Ugh I am not telling anyone congratulations. Everyone has to tell me congratulations!
Is that right?
No, we have to be good sports and tell others congratulations. If I always get told congratulations my friends won't be told congrats. It won't be fair if I always win and they won't feel nice. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. What matters is the game is FUN.
All the kids in the class were cheering loudly. I started cheering too! The teacher said to stop but I did not want to! I kept on cheering. The teacher called me over and told me, "I told the whole class to stop and you did not listen."
How can I feel? What can I do next time?
I can feel upset or sad that the teacher called me over to her desk because I didn't listen.
Next time i can listen to the instructions and not continue to yell.
Some one at school has their iPad and I hear the song from the tv show i don't like!
How do I feel? What can i do?
I feel scared! I can also feel a little nervous because I don't want to see what scared me.
1. I can ask the person nicely if we can watch something else.
2. I can go somewhere else where they are playing things i Like and not watching scary shows
Someone is watching something I don't like
I tell them, "Hey turn that off right now!!!! TUrn it off!"
NOT OKAY
Everyone can watch things that they like. If I don't like it, I can go somewhere else. But its not okay to boss people around.
We can say, "please take it off." BUT if they say no, thats okay.
I really wanted a new game on my playstation. My mom and dad have their card saved on the game. I bought two games and then my mom and dad told me I cannot play the games anymore if I ever buy games again. How do i feel? and what can i do next time?
I feel upset and i'll be disappointed if I can't play again.
Next time i should ASK first if I want a game. If my mom and dad say no that's okay. Games COST MONEY. My mom and dad work hard to make money and I can't use it without their permission
Mom and dad said I can't buy a game. I yell, "You never let me get anything!!!!"
Is that okay? Is it how we talk to our mom and dad?
NOT OKAY
Mom and dad make the rules and if they say no I can ask, "Can I buy the game next time?"
I can say, "okay" and go play the games I already have
I said, "Hi" to my friends at the Saturday center. One of the little boys did NOT respond to me.
How did I feel?
I felt ignored!
BUT its important to remember some friends at the Saturday center need more help. I can try saying hi one more time and if they don't respond, we can walk away and say Hi to someone else.
A girl at the center is running around and not listening to their helper. I tell her, "You are BAD! You don't listen!"
Not okay! It isn't nice to tell people they are bad!
We have to remember some of our friends need a little more help.
Trinice tells me I have to play with friends before I can go in the ball pit room. I don't want to play because they are running toooooo fast!
How can I feel?
I can feel upset or disappointed that I can't use the ball pit.
BUT it is important to also play with friends. We can play with friends then have what we want as well.
