Aware of BEARS

I teach yoga to kiddos and "People Taller Than Me" on Wednesdays.  Yesterday we started a "Sweet Dreams" series exploring the chapter book, Ten in a Bed by Allan Ahlberg and Andre Amstutz.  In chapter one, when Dinah Price goes to her room for bedtime, she finds the three bears in her bed!  What do you do when someone is in YOUR personal space?  What do you do if you find yourself IN someone else's personal space?  USE YOUR WORDS.  Talk to folks, share how you feel and why.  "People Taller Than Me" often tell someone else and the problem gets a little bigger and a little bigger, until it's a pretty big challenge to tackle .  .  .  take a deep breath, and talk it out.  You can do it!  BE AWARE, people need varying amounts of personal space, and tuning in to those needs is one way to show respect.
