I making Josie a new Best Me poster today. We have been working on figuring out which words will go on there as her reminders. Here's the list after much thought and discussion and sort of what you can "cover" under each adjective.
Hip - anything she is good at that makes her feel successful! Easy ways to fit in with peers, Any time her inner style shines through in positive ways, This is our catch all and surely Josie's favorite, but the hardest to explain! : )
Friendly - positive social interactions, empathy, perspective taking
Helpful - empathy, taking responsibility around the house
Engaged - we use a lot for focus, conversation skills, executive function stuff
Independent - solving problems, dealing with frustration without adult intervention, self help skills, taking initiative
In Control - positive behaviors especially when confornted with frustration or disappointment, dealing with anxiety
So that's our list. My goal for the summer is to use these words very consistently and to really develop this into our vocabulary as wonderful Josie grows up and becomes her own advocate!
I'll scan the sign soon. Need to figure out how to set up scanner to new computer! ; )
