Is it hurting anyone? Is it hurting anything?
Helping adults who work with children understand when to step in...or out of a struggle.
Children have a keen sense of right and wrong, and often this talent goes unnoticed by adults who step in to solve a conflict too soon. In this training, we dive into the idea that children learn best by trusting their instinct, solving conflict on their own and preserving to accomplish a task.
