Working on my whole ‘multi-sensory’ approach strategy today,
I was sitting in my office with the door open.
A bee flew in & buzzed annoyingly (& noisily) around
the light. I put up with it for a while,
thinking it would lose interest in bashing itself against the light, but it
didn’t, so I tried ‘encouraging’ it out with a white board, ...still no joy.. I
could see that it was trying to get to the light, so...I turned it off...and
the bee fell to the floor, then flew out – good as gold!
This reminded me so much of the children that I teach. They keep trying to get to the light, bashing
their little brains up, when all they really need is for someone to try a
different approach....let’s turn the light off, given them some breathing space
& try again!
Then the bee came back & stung me! (only joking!)
