One thing I’ve learned while working with children that I didn’t previously know from studying children is that they respond better to “That makes me sad/that hurts me” as opposed to “You’re making me mad/I’m angry.” I also enjoy that they in turn use it amongst their peers. Love hearing a three year old say “Hey! That hurts my feelings” when one of their friends won’t share or messes with them.
