Resource Description:

In this exemplar video, a teacher gives a child a verbal reminder to help him calm his body. Notice how, when the child becomes excited and reaches for the markers, the teacher gently says, “Calm bodies first,” and helps him move his hand back to his side. This reminder helps the child understand that he needs to listen to the directions before starting the activity.
