Grover Explains Cooperation
Grover and the Letter C explore the word of the day.
In this video, the Letter C presents a short strategy that can be useful for children when problem solving:
- Pause – Take a slow, deep breath. Voice quiet, body calm. Eyes and ears ready to listen.
- Identify – Label the problem. What are you feeling? How is that different from what your friend is feeling? For example, “It sounds like we are both feeling frustrated because I want chocolate and you want vanilla.”
- Act – Decide what action you will take to cooperate. This could include compromising, sharing, taking turns, or another strategy relevant to the problem at hand.
