Using “I feel”statements and not questioning young children. Instead allow time for them to problem solve by stating, “ I wonder” this creates an opportunity for them to have control over the situation rather that being told absolutes. An example of this could be, (Nanny) “ I feel like this activity is becoming unsafe because I notice sand is almost going in your eyes. I wonder how we can we can make it safe so that we can still have fun with this activity.”
