My class was trying to earn a pizza party but due to Johnny's behaviors on Friday, we lost it.
-Johnny said he is sorry and brought in small treats his mom made
-Mr. Smith said we can try again next week
Your behaviors hurt someone really close to you (like your Mom) do a power talk acknowledging how it felt to hurt them with your behaviors.
Hint: some emotions you might experience are shame, guilt, sadness, etc.
The ending may be tricky.....see if you can make it work
Example:
I feel guilty when I think about how my behaviors at school impacted your job because I never want you to get in trouble for me. Can I please give you a hug?
