Instructional coaching - showing and having guided support in the HOW, to go along with the WHAT - is essential when we’re attempting to make significant changes in practice.
One-off input is not enough.
The literature has been clear about this for a long time!

What I found most interesting was the question about feeling cold, which when adults ask is “loaded” with many factors, however is ‘read’ by the child as relating to this very minute.
Worth reading!

When you say ‘but aren’t you cold?’ what are you really asking? Kids will answer how they feel now; parents are planning ahead.
