  • Thank you for waiting so patiently.
  • Respect your friend's words and their work space.
  • Use your words instead of your hands.
  • Be specific to your friend: I don't like it when you hit me, I want to play alone right now, and I want to play with you.
  • Be kind.
  • Listen to your friend's words.
  • Treat your toy/works with gentle hands.
  • I like the way you are calming your body.
  • Crying is hurting my ears, please calm your body so we can talk.
  • Treat others the way you want to be treated.
  • Hands on your own body (hands behind your back while waiting).
  • Can you do it yourself or would you like some help.
  • I see that (name) chose that work first, you may ask him/her if you can work with him.
  • Balls are for throwing/kicking, hats are for your head, baskets are for your work.
  • Books are for reading. Chairs are for sitting in. Tables are for your work. (Putting a positive spin on negative behavior)
  • I like the way you treated (sibling). Thank you for not touching his face.
