Kids Power PD

3 Powers kids have all the time:
Brain Power
Body Power
Voice Power

Powers to teach:
Stay Aware - are children aware of what is going on? How can we make them more aware?
Stop Power - Legs balanced (one behind other), hands out, but arms bent "Please stop" and if not effective: "I said stop!" a bit louder/firmer
Move Away Power - move to safe place/person - Calmness helps adults to help you. "Excuse me, I need help."
Get Help Power (see above)
Rubbish Bin Power - For all the bad words we don't like having said to us.


Bullying is a constant, repetitive behaviour. Children at our ages (year 0-2) don't have a concept of what that is.

Non-verbal checkins - two thumbs up/down/ one up/down. Good way to check chd and see if there are major changes (e.g. two up to two down).

Incident charts - allowing teachers to share/see what has been going on. Some chd come back and behave poorly because of something that happened in the playground.
