Set the mood for good news. Or just start a conversation about what you're going to do when you get home, or what's for dinner. Don't quiz him about his day - let him bring it up. Just sayin' he must like the response he gets from the negative. Good idea to ask the teacher (in front of him) what he liked that day and talk about that on the way home. When you tuck him in, ask if he had a good day and remind him of something he can look forward to at school tomorrow.abbanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8875155167904940215.post-86020970922779759122010-04-02T16:23:51.576-07:002010-04-02T16:23:51.576-07:00Harry has a couple of preschool friends who are ac...Harry has a couple of preschool friends who are actually mean to him (2 little girls-- they used to play together as a 3-some, but now the little girls only want to play with each other-- he is quite broken up about it and spent spring break coloring pictures for them because he is, in his words, "concerned they're not my friends.")<br /><br />We talk about how they made him feel bad and then I try to redirect the conversation toward good things that happened at school, and sometimes he says he "can't remember." I have made a point of asking his teachers what he liked best everyday. Then I have a specific detail to use to jog his memory.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684964251550569281noreply@blogger.com
