[QUOTE="buddy, post: 474127, member: 12886"] I seem not to have my thoughts together when I type to you...sorry also please ignore my typos...My keyboard is delayed and I am just sick of going slow to make sure everything is written correctly, sorry for that too. Anyway....the principal saying to count to ten???? Another training issue...and more importantly, not really developmentally appropriate at this time. An easy modification you can ask them to do (say you want to be "consistent with home and school" so they know you are on their team, smile) is to hold up his whole hand and pretend his fingers are candles. Blow each one out slowly and put the fingers down as he blows. It doesn't have to be his hand...lots of kids LOVE it when they can blow out the teachers fingers! Then a soft high five and deal with the situation. OK, I will throw out another (sorry folks, you are making me miss my job now!) Make small square cards with 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Stop and Go on them. on stiff paper, and then laminated. You can use these for activities to help transition. So for example if they are doing free play in the gym, toward the end you can show the 3 card and say 3 minutes and then we go, then 2 minutes and then we go, then 1, then the go card.
