Christopher was in a great mood during lunch and all the boys were on their electronics sharing funny videos they had made. Christopher was all smiles being "heard and validated" by his peers. Once we moved outside, the dynamic changed a bit when the kids did not want to play his first choice for a game. He got frustrated and was reminded that he could take a break by grabbing a drink of water, sitting in the shade, taking a walk, or talking to a teacher or kid who was not engaged in the game. That seemed to be a good strategy and he regrouped nicely. After recess, during the pow-wow, Christopher said that is went well outside and he will try it again. But sometimes when he gets so mad, he says it is hard to remember those tricks.
