Plays well with others
Preschool has re-instituted a rule for Yikes and her friends. If they can't play appropriately together they need to take a break from one another. Totally appropriate, totally sensible. They, particularly Yikes and Kayla, talk during circle time and distract the other kids, or egg each other on to do things they know are not okay. And Yikes understands the reason for the rule and what she should do. In fact, she recently reported it to us as "if I make good choices I can play with Kayla but if I make bad choices with her I can't". I know plenty of adults who could use that as a guiding principle with playmates.
But really, it's hard to make good choices when the bad choices feel so good or fun or in any case are right in front of us tempting us on. I'm glad she's working on learning to do it, but I hope she doesn't lose all her willingness to break the rules for some fun.
