Today Chris and I were able to review what I observed on the playground during a recess earlier in the day. The recess was successful and so we took the time to look at what made it that way. From my perspective, he was able to engage in many positive social interactions. He was able to gracefully accept when he had lost, take redirection positively, and include many of his peers in the game equally. From Chris’s perspective, the game involved more kids than usual. In particular, older students decided to participate today. We concluded that was helpful in changing the dynamics. We decided that when more kids were participating, there were more opportunities to engage in conversation/ turn-taking that he preferred. We ended the session by Chris telling me something he was proud of for himself. This really helps change his mindset and attitude in the moment.
