How do you tell people you are angry without HOTTING UP the situation?
Check out this movie on how to use 'I Statements'.
What are the rules:
1. Focus on their behaviour not..... what you can see or hear or feel.
2. State how it has affected you. I feel.... when.....
3. Tell them what you want instead.
Avoid words like ALWAYS, EVERYONE, EVERY, DELIBERATE - no blaming words.
Drama challenge:
Run through the problem with blaming words then try again with I statements. What has the best result?
Problems:
1. Sally keeps taking your pencils.
2. Tom keeps hogging the rope swing on the playground.
3. Tony always wants to sit on the special chair.
4. Anna always leaves you out of the game.
5. You always miss out on getting an iPad.
6. (What are some more problems you have?)
