Here's my approach:
- Celebrate the many, many successes. These kids are alive, functioning, taking in some knowledge, producing some work, and not having to walk in lines in the hallways. That's a major plus for sixth grade. They love saying good-bye to Line Basics.
- Tell them how much I care about them and appreciate them. Compliment the parents on their excellent work raising these adorable, alive, functional children.
- Set a couple of manageable goals. Can we use tutorial better? Can we manage our emotions? Can we try to make a new friend? I think we can agree to try!
I'm on it. Everyone can breathe easy.
