Reassuring Statements To A Distressed Child

Post by seep » Thu Sep 10, 2015 4:06 pm

Q-list 5 reassuring statements an educator could use towards a child displaying distress at separation?

My Ans-
1-‘You can trust me to make sure that you are safe.’
2-‘Let’s take some deep breaths to calm us down.’
3-‘Mummy seems happy and relaxed. Seems like everything is ok.
4-I feel safe. There is nothing to worry about.’
5-‘Here is a photo of us together to remind you that we will be together
again soon.

Am I right in my response?plz suggest thanks

I can see you're sad because mummy is leaving and that's OK. I'm going to stay here with you until you feel better.
Mummy will be back after you finish afternoon tea to pick you up.
Mummy is going to work. She'll be back after lunch. Let's go draw a picture to give to her when she comes back.
