I work in a childcare center with a group of one year olds. I have found myself manipulating their bodies a lot lately. Like if I want them to move, I pick them up and move them instead of asking them to move. I’m really trying to break this habit. We want them to learn not to push or grab others, so really it doesn’t make sense for me to swoop them up and carry them away from whatever I don’t want them to have. I have to find a different way to get them to do what I need them to do.
