  • ColinWikan Mar 12 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    A5: Approach & ask if you can assist in any way...encourage them to move to a more private location or handle at a better time #IAedchat

  • DuffysClassroom - Moderator Mar 12 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A5: “Can I help you find a better place to resolve this?” or “Hey, kids first.” Resolve issue at hand then address expectations. #iaedchat

  • hannahaggie2014 Mar 12 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    Good point. Is it just an isolated, spontaneous reaction or is a recurring pattern that stretches to Ss #iaedchat
    In reply to @joelped33
  • joelped33 Mar 12 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A6. After about 5-10 minutes of listening to everything we do wrong, I politely ask what is something positive happening. It works #iaedchat
  • TammyDelaney1 Mar 12 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    #iaedchat A6: I know that I can't fix them. I remain positive and if there is some small thing I can change I do. I don't become negative.
