This book came to mind as I read this chapter. 

As did giving children choices and giving children visuals to make those choices easier to make - this is especially important for children with special needs but works well with all children in the heat of the moment and they cannot verbalized what they need to do.

      

It also reminds me of the thought process for kids with disabilities and how helpful social stories can be. Here are a ton of examples - some good, some with pictures, some without but at least gives you ideas: http://resourcesforteaching.weebly.com/-social-stories.html

How could these strategies be altered if you work with child care worker? if you are going into the home? if you are itinerant? if you co-teach?

Have a safe and very happy Thanksgiving!
