Student IntroductionMy name is Ryan.I am 8 years old.I am in 2nd grade.I go to Neil Armstrong.
Being told “No”Sometimes when I ask my teachers to do something they say, “No”.
I get really upset and mad when I am told “no”.
Accepting “No”I need to know that my teacher only says “No” because: I may need to finish my work What I want may not be available
It is just not the right time
Say, “Okay”I need to remember to always say, “Okay” and not get mad.
Other phrases I can say are:That’s alrightThat’s fineRoger
Stay CalmIf I stay calm and don’t get mad when I am told “no”, then my teacher will be very happy.
She may let me do something I want to do later.
Choosing AlternativesIf I stay calm and don’t get mad my teacher will let me choose something else to do that I enjoy.
