stbirwin Jan 23 @ 3:55 PM EST

To be honest we don't tend to plan for it. It's in those everyday conversations #Kinderchat

hechternacht - Moderator Jan 23 @ 3:55 PM EST

So what are some everyday issues in early years that invite discussions of tolerance and understanding? #kinderchat

hechternacht - Moderator Jan 23 @ 3:56 PM EST

Agree! primarily comes up in arguments- seeing the other perspective of whose toy it is or taking turns, being fair. #kinderchat

In reply to @stbirwin

StimLearning Jan 23 @ 3:56 PM EST

Us too! #kinderchat

In reply to @stbirwin

blamehound - Moderator Jan 23 @ 3:57 PM EST

In EY I think we need to start with our communities- who are we? what is special to me? and build up - next door, next town etc #kinderchat

hechternacht - Moderator Jan 23 @ 3:57 PM EST

And helping give children the words to sort it out in a fair way- #kinderchat

We just read "Stellaluna" today- animals are a great way to get the message across #kinderchat

In reply to @blamehound

StimLearning Jan 23 @ 3:59 PM EST

Everyday arguments. Agreed! My class are only 3&4, so it can be tricky for them to understand sometimes #kinderchat

In reply to @hechternacht, @stbirwin

glennbills Jan 23 @ 4:00 PM EST

Tolerance & understanding in #EarlyYears: so much is down to teachers & adults being seen to do and be, not just preach ideals #Kinderchat

hechternacht - Moderator Jan 23 @ 4:00 PM EST

It is soooo interesting asking them about argument w siblings! It all comes out then! #Kinderchat

In reply to @glennbills

hechternacht - Moderator Jan 23 @ 4:01 PM EST

Those young ages its so focus on ME and just the act of waiting or independece to get needs met! #KInderchat

Always has to be grounded in what they know - linked to how would you feel discussions #kinderchat though find they have natural empathy

StimLearning Jan 23 @ 4:02 PM EST

Yep! #kinderchat

In reply to @hechternacht, @stbirwin

hechternacht - Moderator Jan 23 @ 4:02 PM EST

Yes! I think it makes a difference to have them wait! Would be a great convo topic for sure! #kinderchat

stbirwin Jan 23 @ 4:03 PM EST

it's hard when they don't have natural empathy. How do you teach empathy? #Kinderchat can you?

In reply to @blamehound

hechternacht - Moderator Jan 23 @ 4:03 PM EST

Absolutely! And I'll tell you bringing those puppets out and having the CLASS solve the problem out loud- WORKS #kinderchat

In reply to @glennbills

hechternacht - Moderator Jan 23 @ 4:04 PM EST

That's why talking about feelings and validating also so important- has to work in tandem #kinderchat

In reply to @stbirwin, @blamehound

hechternacht - Moderator Jan 23 @ 4:05 PM EST

Also I think music and make pretend play invaluable role here too #Kinderchat

In reply to @stbirwin, @blamehound

hechternacht - Moderator Jan 23 @ 4:06 PM EST

role playing scenarios and replaying over and over the crying baby and caring father or mother #Kinderchat

In reply to @stbirwin, @blamehound

blamehound - Moderator Jan 23 @ 4:06 PM EST

I think has to be combo of discussion, role play, puppets- all those how would you feel discussions- it is def tricky #kinderchat

In reply to @stbirwin

hechternacht - Moderator Jan 23 @ 4:06 PM EST

I'll tell you those puppets- people laugh but I've found NOTHING more effective #kinderchat

In reply to @blamehound, @stbirwin

stbirwin Jan 23 @ 4:06 PM EST

yes we have a couple that really struggle with empathy. #Kinderchat

In reply to @hechternacht, @blamehound

hechternacht - Moderator Jan 23 @ 4:07 PM EST

but absolutely have to approach from multiple angles!!! A must for sure!!! #kinderchat

Interesting- tell more? #kinderchat

In reply to @stbirwin, @blamehound

AGREE they behave with and say things to puppets they wouldn't share with us! #kinderchat

In reply to @hechternacht, @stbirwin

LindaAnnHull Jan 23 @ 4:09 PM EST

start with similarities rather than differences - what do we have in common, not what sets us apart #kinderchat

In reply to @blamehound

hechternacht - Moderator Jan 23 @ 4:09 PM EST

And they are RIVETED to the convo. I should use them to teach math omg #Kinderchat :)

In reply to @blamehound, @stbirwin

hechternacht - Moderator Jan 23 @ 4:10 PM EST

Have you tried giving them a doll to care for and be the father? #KInderchat

In reply to @stbirwin, @blamehound

blamehound - Moderator Jan 23 @ 4:10 PM EST

Also we can use them effectively- puppet can be a role model OR behave badly and need our help #kinderchat

In reply to @hechternacht

hechternacht - Moderator Jan 23 @ 4:11 PM EST

Like if they hit wo remore- start talking to a doll and say "oh did someone hit you? Here's your dad" #Kinderchat
