P.E.T. Week 3: Active Listen Some More
Oh boy, it’s been a busy couple of weeks! We go back to class tomorrow and I haven’t posted about last weeks session! This week we discussed more about active listening and remembering to avoid roadblocks. I had a great experience from the prior week which I had been excited about. Last Monday C did not want to go to school (the girls are in Jr. Kindergarten three days a week). I used active listening and followed it down to find what the actual problem was. Apparently C tends to be noisy during their quiet time and is scared the teacher will be mad at her for it. It is a little tough on them because right now I pick them up halfway through the day, which means they are there waiting for me for about 15 minutes of quiet time. As it turns out, in a week we will be moving them to full day, so they won’t be up and waiting for me. Of course this means that they are now going to have to follow the quiet time rules for even longer. Hopefully it goes well. Although what is it my training would say? This is their problem? Ahhh yes.
