Before we expect kids to behave in the classroom or on the playground, we need to take time to explain what that means, let kids discuss it, & give examples to start those discussions. YouTube videos for kids can be a good place to start the conversation.
Follow the video by asking, “What feelings did you notice the characters had?” For visual support, ask your child to write the feelings on sticky notes, or draw a quick sketch. Ask, “Have you ever felt like that? Can you tell us about that?” Children often need a list or visual prompt when they are building their emotional vocabulary. Sketches, lists, and sticky notes can help.
A boy with ADHD with a thought bubble next to his head. He is thinking about YouTube videos for kids.Start by asking, “I have a voice in my head. Do you? What does it say?” Tell your child that sometimes the voice in our head is supportive, “You can do it! Come on.” But sometimes the voice can be very critical, “I can’t believe I did that. That was so stupid of me.
Draw thought bubbles on Post-Its such as, “It’s OK, next time I can try again.” “Bummer, maybe next time I’ll get more than one.” And “It’s okay, it’s just a game.” When a child has a bad roll you can cue them, “Do you need to think a thought bubble?” It’s a visual that is easy for them to refer to.How to Teach Cooperation
