Of all days, today is World Smile Day, and let me tell you: few things in this world make me smile as much as my Kindergarten Crew. 35 years, 16 children, and 3 state lines never stop us from prioritizing each other and bringing a smile to each others' faces.

I am currently out of the office. All calls, texts, and emails will be answered upon my return.

☕️ Cup your hands as if you are holding a cup of coffee.
☕️ Now rub your hands together to get them warm [warm up the coffee!]
☕️ Then hold your pretend mug again.
☕️ Breathe in and smell how delicious that caffeinated goodness smells- but wait, it's too hot!

Spoiler alert: "Just ignore them," isn't going to work- but swipe and read a few other tricks that might help instead!

1. Say in a firm voice (so an adult can hear), "Please stop, (name). I don't like that."

2. Stop what you're doing. Walk away. Talk to an adult.

3. Give a short response *without emotion in your voice* that says, "I heard what you have to say, and it does not bother me." Try "lilting" your words- putting the emphasis on the end of the word, almost as if you're asking a question (I demonstrate this in my 10/05/26 reel, How to Respond to Mean Girls & Bullies).
