Applying Brain-Aligned Language
Scenario 1 of 5
A 2nd-grade student, Mia, crosses her arms and says "No!" loudly when asked to start her independent writing assignment.
Use "1, 2, Re-Do", acknowledge her "Porcupine power", and offer shared power in how to start the task.
Tell her "Yes!" just as loudly and point to the paper.
Say, "That's not a choice right now," and stand over her until she begins.
Let her skip the assignment so you can avoid a power struggle.
