[quote=Anonymous]I think anytime your not Suzy Sunshine when guiding young children and parents hear it's uncomfortable, but often children ignore that nice friendly voice! Definitely you want to say something once at most twice and then approach the child to deal with being ignored. This should always be done calmly, but with assertive words and a firm, but gentle hand if needed. it's best to find and new activity or transition onto the next thing after you've stated your point; ie, "it looks like your ok, I'm sorry you got hurt, but it's not safe to jump on the couch. Let's go was our hands for lunch." Moving on is the best way to go, you can turn the mood around with your words. It's not necessary to feel guilty, but you should work on your positive guidance skills so even if MB is listening you'll feel good about how you've handled a situation. We are not perfect, but it's helpful to pick up a guidance book at library and refresh your thoughts and skills.[/quote]
