Changing our Labels

Here is a list of words that I came across at the perfect time to work on an assignment about one of my previous students. These words perfectly reflect some of the words that we may regularly use to describe a child within our care. 


By using a solution focused approach, we are showcasing the behaviours that we may find difficult to work with, in a way that positively describes the child. It is a more respectful, and impactful way to describe a child, similar to person-first language where you describe the individual before an exceptional difference.


These words are posted up in my classroom as a reminder that a child is always learning, and the words that we use to describe them can impact the view that they have of themselves.


Continue to build up the esteem of the children in your learning environments!
