Imagine a child comes home and says that someone at school doesn't want to let them play. How would you respond?

Select an answer:

"And how did you handle that?" – I'll wait for him to tell me more on his own. I will suggest to him what he could try next time. I will tell him that not everyone has to like us and that it's okay. I will offer him the option to discuss the situation with the teacher. I will ask him how he felt about it, and I will remain silent.

A child draws a dark picture full of explosions and chaos. How do you interpret that?

Select an answer:

It may have been inspired by some movie or game. I wonder if it has something to do with what she is going through. I am searching for what feelings could have been behind that. I will take it as a normal phase of development. I'll try to casually ask him what is happening in the picture.

The child cries because something didn't go well for them. What do you tell them?

Select an answer:

"It's okay, you'll do better next time." "I sometimes get angry when something doesn't go well for me." "Did you understand what you did wrong?" "Crying is okay. Do you want a hug?" Nothing. I will just stay with him and wait until he says something on his own.

During the game, two children start to argue. You...

Select an answer:

I'll divide it immediately to calm them down. I'll wait a while to see how they handle it themselves. I will ask them how they would solve it without my help. I will propose a solution that will be fair for both parties. I will laugh and say, "That sounds like quite a drama!"

The child claims that "they are stupid" and "understand nothing." How do you respond?

Select an answer:

"That's not true, you are very talented." "We all have days when we think so." "And what exactly is not working for you?" "Don't talk about yourself like that. Try it differently." I hug him and say nothing.

On the playground, another child pushes your child down and even laughs at them. What will you do?

Select an answer:

I will immediately intervene and reprimand the child. I'll wait to see how my child reacts. I will help my child process the situation, then I will address the second one. I'll take the child aside and explain to them that such things happen. I will find out if my child wants me to do something.

What kind of questions do you most often ask children?

Select an answer:

"What did you do today?" "How did you feel today?" "Was there something that made you angry?" "What are you most proud of?" "Who was your friend today and why?"

What would you say to a child who is screaming with anger?

Select an answer:

"Calm down!" "Do you want us to talk about it later?" "It's okay to scream when something angers you." "Try to take a deep breath first and then tell me what makes you angry." I will stay calm and just watch him carefully.

When a child hesitates for a long time and can't make a decision...

Select an answer:

I will help him close the decision quickly. I will give him more time, even though it slows down others. I will hint to him that every decision brings something and takes something away. I'll ask what he is afraid of. I’ll let him experience it in his own way.

What kind of games do you most often recommend to children?

Select an answer:

Structured to learn something. Creative, where they invent their own worlds. Physically, to let them run around and tire them out. Cooperative, where they have to collaborate. Those where it shows who feels what.
