Yes! Have been thinking too how uniqueness of EY develops that skill in educators too-older grade teachers could really learn #Kinderchat

@blamehound Can you talk any about how skills you developed in EY have helped you in your new position? #Kinderchat
hechternacht - Moderator May 22 @ 3:44 PM EDT

@blamehound For me, working w older children this year-they still love the EY tricks & games- both a half roll eyes & half love! #Kinderchat

Relationships are key to any successful leader- teachers are leaders! #Kinderchat
hechternacht - Moderator May 22 @ 3:49 PM EDT

I think more teachers should view themselves as leaders or managers of classroom vs "teacher" of compliance and obedience #Kinderchat
hechternacht - Moderator May 22 @ 3:50 PM EDT

For some, that was radical statement. But spend a lot of time w any group of people and that's what works from both perspectives #Kinderchat
hechternacht - Moderator May 22 @ 3:52 PM EDT

I see teachers struggle w battles of wills, exerting authority- classroom management issues that stem from lack of relationship #kinderchat
hechternacht - Moderator May 22 @ 3:53 PM EDT

Children are the best group of any (besides maybe elderly!) who will call you on the carpet if you don't have their trust #kinderchat
hechternacht - Moderator May 22 @ 3:54 PM EDT

This is why some teachers have no issues, others are constantly having problems w students. It's our job to bring out the best #kinderchat

#Kinderchat Some examples of actions that promote good relationships:
hechternacht - Moderator May 22 @ 3:57 PM EDT

1. Letting kids save face. Don't rub in that error more than necessary! Enough to make the point and move on. Don't humiliate #Kinderchat
hechternacht - Moderator May 22 @ 3:58 PM EDT

2. Developmentally Appropriate Practice (this really should be 1!) Promote age appropriate tasks #Kinderchat
hechternacht - Moderator May 22 @ 3:58 PM EDT

3. Scaffold scaffold scaffold. Kid is struggling, break it down and build them up slowly. #Kinderchat
hechternacht - Moderator May 22 @ 3:59 PM EDT

4. Build trust. Children need to run, move, talk. Make sure they know you'll give them time for this. #kinderchat
hechternacht - Moderator May 22 @ 4:01 PM EDT

5. Body language is the language of children! You say a lot with your eyes and face and they are watching! :) #kinderchat
blamehound - Moderator May 22 @ 4:01 PM EDT

Story always great -allows safe way to relate to experiences esp if difficult times. Allows them to role play consequences too. #kinderchat
hechternacht - Moderator May 22 @ 4:01 PM EDT

6. LAUGH WITH THEM. Good Lord they are kids. Learning should be fun! #kinderchat
hechternacht - Moderator May 22 @ 4:02 PM EDT

Yes!! Nice one! #kinderchat
