Children at Play
While watching children at play all day, we tend to interupt their play. Instead of redirecting children in their own path of play, we tend to raise the concern higher by raising the issue that they did wrong. I find that even the worst misbehaved children would tend to get less tense when you redirect even with giving them no attention until they join in on the activity the way you redirected them to.

I watch teachers and some times I feel that they do interupt children at play. If teachers were more involved children may want to listen more closely to the redirections of the teacher.By being an onlooker is to say that you are not at their level of communication. But to be involved is to get children to really understand what you are saying.
