Tip: Know the difference between "Teaching language" and "Battle language" and avoid "Battle language!"
 |
Battle language invites power struggles: "No", "Don't", "Put that down", "Stop it". |
 |
Teaching language lets children know what is expected of them: "please walk, don't run", "find a safe place to use the hammer", "You don't need to shout, I am right next to you." |
