Phrases that Nurture Respect, Confidence, and Community | Abundant Life Children
A friend asks her injured companion, “What would be helpful?” and responds by kissing a wound. A reader asked if I would compile a list of my go-to phrases that are useful in my daily work with young children.

Many practicing Special Education teachers have found that the most effective and efficient “adaptations” are actually teaching strategies embedded right into daily and weekly lessons, learning activities, and assessment practices.
