I Statements
I statements are meant to be proactive words that help others understand your point of view in any situatuion. I statements also share how you are feeling and offer a possible solution from Kelso's Wheel.
An I statement could sound like this, "Sarah, I like it when we swing at recess. I enjoy our talk time. Do you want to swing again tomorrow?" OR "Sarah, I don't like it when we argue. It makes me feel sad. Let's take turns deciding what we play at recess."
As the opportunity arises, please encourage your children to use their I statements.
