Teacher: (background voice) Tommy, stop that. Tommy: (forces his way to use the computer) But I want a turn right now! Sam: You can have a turn when I’m finished. Now, let’s see what happens when Tommy does and does not use safe hands. If we feel angry, or like we might hurt someone, we stop right away and tell an adult we need a break. We can pick another toy to play with, take deep breaths, or make a new plan. If we’re feeling frustrated, we can use strategies to stay calm. Narrator: When we have to wait for something, we always use safe hands. Better choices to help us wait are take deep breaths, pick another item, or make a new plan.īoy1: (brain scan – stay calm options, takes a deep breath, pulls out a book) I’ll read this book until it’s my turn to play with the truck. Narrator: If we have to wait, we can make sure we stay calm. We can say, “Can I use that?” or “Can I have a turn with that?” Narrator: Instead of taking something, we can use our words to ask for it. When we take things and put our hands on other people, it can make them feel upset and not want to play with us.īoy2: I don’t want to play with you anymore. Safe hands means keeping our hands to ourselves.
Narrator: We might want to just reach out and take something, but we have to keep safe hands.
Narrator: We might not like it when we have to wait.īoy1: (goes to Boy2 to take the truck) Give me that! Narrator: Waiting means we don’t get to do something right away.īoy1: (to Boy2) Can I play with that? (points at truck) Narrator: Sometimes we have to wait for the things we want.īoy1: (looking at Boy2’s truck, internal thought) I want to play with the truck.
