Protocol of ConsequencesDEBRIEF RECAP Clip #14•Non-verbal intervention•Positive group correction verbal reminder of what the whole group SHOULD be doing•Anonymous individual correction ‘we need two people’
•Private individual correction ‘I’ve asked everyone to ___, I need to see you ___ as well’•Lightening-quick public correction with ‘what to do’ (Clip #15) ‘Jose, I need your eyes . . . better’
Empathy + Give Choices
• Pick choices you can actually control.• Give choices with inviting language
(feel free to, you’re welcome to, would you rather, what would be best)
• The adult needs to be willing to live with either choice given.
• Never give choices in danger!• Don’t show frustration when handling
the situation. Seem calm and relaxed.• Third choice is always implied: adult
decides if the child does not.• DON’T HARP!!!!!
Choose Words Wisely:Fighting vs. Thinking Words
Tone is everything!Fighting words are commandoriented and contain a ‘perceived’implied threat. They force acontrol response.
Thinking words areare usually in question form andcontain enforceable statements. They leave choice andresponsibility with the child.
