What worked today…
What worked with Jeremiah today was….
- Mixing it up a bit. Instead of doing his regular reading lesson, we watched a documentary on the history of black achievement in America. He loved it.
- Giving him a set time to calm down. I told him I would come check on him in 15 minutes, and even though he needed another 15 to completely cool down, he knew that I was not “disappearing” and not giving up.
- Allowing him to spend 75 of his Miah Bucks on a chore pass AND 25 on a movie, even though he wouldn’t have any left. He felt accomplished and that he really got to enjoy a big privilege. I know that he’ll be missing those bucks later, but hey, it’s his to spend.
Tomorrow, I will probably have to do something totally different. I’m glad that I’m good at thinking on my feet.
Blessings!
Hannah
