It is crucial to be observant and responsive when teachable moments arise and address them in a timely and appropriate manner. Your responses to these authentic moments establish a consistent understanding of VSLD. Responses may vary depending on the situation, such as:

  • Involving the children to pre-emptively consider how to approach a situation.
