1. Sing their names if they're sitting well "I like the way that James is sitting" to the tune of 10 little indians 2. Whisper to get their attention 3. Game - Simon says e.g. If you are sitting on the carpet crisscross applesauce and your hands are in your lap, scratch your head, pop a bubble in your mouth, beep your nose, etc. silly, fun stuff 4. Game - Dog & bone 5. Address children by telling them what you want them to do, NOT what you don't want them to do e.g. Instead of "Don't run", say "Use your walking feet"

I use tiny voice and deep voice to get their attention during circle time. I get their attention and they think it's so funny .

Yes! Teaching preschool requires a whole different set of skill. Good luck.

@mariamz1989 Год назад

Same I thought it would be easy after teaching first grade, but 2year olds is so different it’s a lot of repeating and redirecting with such short attention spans. I struggle being firm because they are so young especially during circle time and transitions. It’s definitely a challenge

I know there are good ways to talk to littles, but I'm so tired and often need a kind of "script" to practice in my head to prep myself for moments working with kids or else I'll just not say the more helpful thing and I'll make things worse.

I started working in childcare in March, right before this whole mess started. Their whole routine was disrupted, and it was honestly chaos for a bit. We were just getting back into the swing of things when I got promoted to the lead teacher in a 3 year old classroom. Your videos have helped me tremendously, but I’m still having trouble with getting my students to take me seriously.

@positivepreschooltips 3 года назад

Callie, honestly it has been a bit chaotic for everyone since March (even the children). Confidence is key is getting the children to take you seriously and that comes with trying new things and finding your specific strengths and style. Good luck and reach out if I can help in any way. Cyndi

@archierooroo Год назад

I start teaching pre-k for the first time soon, 4-5 year olds, and I’m gonna be honest and say I don’t have the highest self confidence so that’s one thing I’m nervous about, the children taking me seriously and also being able to be silly without feeling self conscious. I love your videos and they’re helping me feel more prepared, thank you!🙏🏻❤️ Any specific tips for my situation please?

@positivepreschooltips 3 года назад

Cheo, Thanks for watching my videos. I think the best advice for a young person just getting started is be confident and have fun! I remember being a young teach and being so nervous about not being able to handle the children. It does take time and practice so don't be hard on yourself. Also, any and all suggestions I offer in my video are things that have worked for me but if you try it and it doesn't work for you, don't worry. You will develop your own style and techniques along the way. Good luck!
