He knew that nobody likes it when other people touch them. Narrator: That time, Tommy used safe hands while waiting for what he wanted. What can I do while I’m waiting? (looks around) I can see if I can read that book for a bit. Tommy: (inner thought) I feel really mad. Let’s watch when Tommy makes a better choice. Tommy should have kept safe hands and waited his turn. Nobody likes it when other people touch them. Narrator: Sam was feeling mad that Tommy tried to take the computer from her. Tommy: (thought bubble) I wanted to play on the computer! Sam’s been on the computer for 20 minutes already! Narrator: How did Tommy feel when he had to wait? Sam: (thought bubble) I don’t want to be friends with Tommy. Narrator: Tommy didn’t wait his turn and got in Sam’s space. You’re not getting any computer time today.

Now, let’s see what happens when Tommy does and does not use safe hands. If we feel angry, or like we might hurt someone, we stop right away and tell an adult we need a break.

Better choices to help us wait are take deep breaths, pick another item, or make a new plan.īoy1: (brain scan – stay calm options, takes a deep breath, pulls out a book) I’ll read this book until it’s my turn to play with the truck. Narrator: If we have to wait, we can make sure we stay calm. We can say, “Can I use that?” or “Can I have a turn with that?” Narrator: Instead of taking something, we can use our words to ask for it. When we take things and put our hands on other people, it can make them feel upset and not want to play with us.īoy2: I don’t want to play with you anymore. Safe hands means keeping our hands to ourselves. Narrator: We might want to just reach out and take something, but we have to keep safe hands. Narrator: We might not like it when we have to wait.īoy1: (goes to Boy2 to take the truck) Give me that! Narrator: Waiting means we don’t get to do something right away.īoy1: (to Boy2) Can I play with that?
