How To Talk To Children Language Analysis

My two choices from “How to Talk to Kids” was to help children deal with their feelings by listening quietly with my full attention and to help children deal with their feelings by giving their feelings a name by using phrases such as; "That sounds frustration" or "You sound really angry".
The mind of a first grader, filled with stories of what they didn’t get to do, to the list of things they wanted for their birthday, and dealing with the emotional turmoil of getting in trouble at lunch recess. They have million things to tell me, but I only have three minutes to give them my ear. When I try to implement give them my full attention, it was lot harder than I could ever imagine. I will have two or three kids trying to tell me something, with them all chiming in at the same time! I really try to give them at least two minutes of my time, but even that was quite difficult. First graders really have to take time to think and formulate their responses, so this can add extra time that may not be available. So how did I do with giving them my full attention, some days were better than others.

As I have explained in the beginning of this reflection, the first ten minutes of the children arrival, my students came running trying to tell me something. I had to stop them so they would not talk all over each other. I picked one student to speak first, and that took two minutes, and by time I got to the second one that bell rang and everyone had to stand for the pledge of allegiance, which stop any communication I could have with students till after calendar and language arts. I thought the students who did not get to speak, would remember what they wanted to tell me and we can speak again at morning
