We are learning the importance of keeping our hands to ourselves and to mind our own business. This is the lesson that I taught the children to help them with this. I use the visual of a hoola hoop.
1. We all have a hoola hoop around us. (I let them think of what theirs might look like...maybe purple with sparkles or maybe decorated with soccer balls:)
2. Inside our hoop is our own business. What we think, what we say, what we do. Our only job is to take care of our own business and hoola hoop.
3. We do not get into someone else's hoola hoop unless invited in.
Now all I have to say to the children when problems arise is this: "Are you in your own hoola hoop?" Works like a charm.
You might want to use this at home too!
