Chit & Chat: PP: 2. Using My Words - Story

Children default to aggressive behaviour when they don’t have the skill to verbalise their need or frustration.  This story encourages children to communicate their frustration or dislikes rather than resort to physical means of communication.   Children are given scripts to tell another child to “Please stop that” if the child is doing something they don’t like.  They are also encouraged to make a polite request e.g., “Please can I have a turn” instead of snatching a toy.
