Jackson takes the toy for the third time. A child hits, and everyone's watching. Your educators each handle it differently — some freeze, some escalate, some hand it to the room leader. This session gives the whole team one calm, shared way through.
"You really wanted that truck" lands better than "we don't snatch" — and the intensity drops once a child feels understood.
Children borrow our nervous system. A quiet voice at their height does more than a raised one ever will — and every educator in the room does it the same way.
"I can see you want a turn, but it's Mia's turn now. What can we do while we wait?" Having the words ready means not finding them under pressure.
Pairs take turns as the child and the educator — the third snatched toy, then the hit with the room watching. Everyone says the sentence, at the right height, three times. Then the whole team agrees the one response the room will use this week.
Are you and your team tired of the slide deck and the online click-fest? Louis's sessions are practical, on your feet and genuinely fun. You'll role-play the moments that actually happen in your rooms — the parent at pick-up, the child who hits, the drizzle at the door — and leave with language you'll use tomorrow.
Educators remember what they've said out loud, not what they've watched.
