(1) Late in the afternoon, one friend was tantruming and did not want to come inside for Circle Time. Kate rushed up to her, leaned in with a smile, and said: "If you come inside, I'll sing you a really cool song about your name!" They rushed together inside, and Kate belted out: "Sweet Caroline, Bum-Bum-Bum!" The teacher said it was a fabulous moment as the kids learned the song and sang along!

(2) One kid had pointed out that a teacher was fat. Soon all the other kids had joined in the discussion, calling the teacher names and pointing. Kate listened for a minute, looked at the teacher, and then turned to her friends and said: "I'm not going to say that. It will hurt her feelings, and that's not nice." All the other kids stopped talking. Kate REDIRECTED them and they started to build a structure out of blocks and random objects!You are AWESOME, Kate!!!
