Say What You Want to See

Instead of saying what you don't want kids to do or what they're doing wrong, say what you do want them to do. Instead of "STOP bending your arms", try: "Show me your straight, strong arms!" Instead of saying "STOP running to the next rotation", try: "I need a nice line before we switch rotations."

Have you ever told yourself NOT to think about something....or NOT to do something...or NOT to say something....... and then you end up doing it? It's human nature. When something gets put in your head, we end up doing that thing.

Soooooo.....don't put the negative stuff in kids heads! Put the positive stuff you want!
