What happened? How did you handle it?- What are some reasons why kids sometimes do things that are unsafe?- Safety is important, but sometimes kids can be too careful, meaning they don’t want to do things if there’s even a tiny possibility of danger or discomfort. What do you think would be an example of being too careful? How could being too careful be a problem?- Dr. Friendtastic says, “Preventing dangerous situations is usually easier than dealing with them after they’ve happened.” Do you agree? Why or why not?- Why might standing near a teacher or a group of friends be useful for preventing problems with someone who is acting too rough?
