  7. AdaptabilityI am learning that there aredifferent rules for different places. Being successful in different places and with different people A child who is adaptable will most often at least try to comply with adult prompting and will begin to internalize the rules and norms of different environments e.g. knows to use quiet feet when walking in hallways but can run when on the playground. http://www.centerforresilientchildren.org/flip-it/

  8. ContributionI have a responsibility to myself and others. A belief in one’s own gifts and talents and the persistence of working through the challenges to perfect a skill. A desire to apply these skills and talents for the benefit of him/herself, family and community. E.g. learning to tie shoes and wanting to teach a friend Link: child learning to ride a bike

  9. CollaborationI am learning how to work and play with others. The ability to work and play with others Includes the life skill of conflict resolution E.g child is good at turn taking, easily joins in to a group, happily cooperates with others.

Recognize “insides”. Safety is fundamental to attachment. Hockey link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huY6ZU_SEoM

Encourage the development of friendships. We need to create a classroom environment that is a “home away from home”. Link: animated team work
