The circle game is practically 3rd base.

how did Jo get chalk on her pants leg

[purplegal597]

i liked jo's chalk circle techique because kids should never have to hug or kiss someone on command they should do it when they feel more comfortable

parents need to stop forcing their kids to do something they don't feel comfortable doing

[imSkorp]

Wow that is a good idea never thought it like that myself!

[knightsintodreams]

i hated having to hug other kids when their parents forced them. i was taught to hug my close family, but i was older and it was never an issue. my mom warned us ahead of time, plus explained why. (they love you and want to see you. hugging is a way to say i love you) but friends and extended family we shook hands. this system worked for us because we kids always knew what to expect, plus we saw our family enough that it was never weird. and we even learned to like it :D

[jillstillrules169]

ughh i always hated when my mom made me hug her friends. cuz she thought it was "the polite thing to do"

their HER FRIENDS. not mine.

it always made me feel weird to do that, and i havent done that agains since

id rather just say goodbye and be polite, and leave it at that.

@OnCloudNine62 I totally agree with you

[OnCloudNine62]

That 's a good demonstration of what intimacy feels like.

[JasielMartin92]

Jo that was awesome with the Circle Techinque

[malikai888]

@aprilteddy89 your from Malaysia!!! My name is Malaysia I wanto to visit there

[celinou84]

I come from France, where it is common to greet everyone with a couple of pecks on the cheeks, and children are usually coerced into doing it too, even with adults that they may never have seen before. I agree with Jo 100% that it is too much for children. They should say hello and look at ppl in the eyes, but kissing and hugging come from them, not their parents. When kids r coerced, it is not unusual to see them refuse to even look at ppl they meet, sometimes hiding behind mummy

[Idiotkidinc]

when i was 4 yrs old my mom told me to go and greet my uncle,it was the 1st time i ever saw him and i was afraid of him,he said,come closer and i came closer,then he told me to give him a kiss on his cheek but i didnt want to,so i turned around

but then he held my arm in his hand and didnt let go,i struggled and then he let go of me.i was embarassed and went into my room,started crying and said,,daddy!i want to go back home!!'' btw it waas on vacation in spain. =/

[coolgalscamp]

The Circle Game Looks Abit Wrong :/

[aprilteddy89]

hi..i'm from malaysia...in my country, we teach children to shake hands during the hi & goodbye session... no kiss & hug =) kiss & hug is just optional...shake hands is the necessary things that we need to do to show our respect to our guest..

[Paulismyhero777]

@aprilteddy89 its not that commen here either (at least in the north it usually isnt) unless they're a relitive

[lamagamorgana]

it feels like all my circles are pink xD

[shortsandsheep]

Lmao of course the dude was intimidated, he was staring right into the crotch of a woman who wasn't his wife while his wife watched. xD

[SurvivorPoison]

@cottonwhiskersuk

A

[NawTiNinja]

yeah I need to get to know a person pretty well before i let them into my pink circle

[IHeArTrOcK20]

joe is so bright

[Tarotlynx]

You know, since I'm an autistic who has trouble dealing with social skills, that circle technique is actually helpful in some ways. I'll try to remember it.

[USAGRL12783]

never thought about that.

[tsisaprincess]

That is way cool way to show them!!

[199iluvmookie]

yeah it was. u see how when jo stepped into his personal space he kinda leaned back and away.. i think kids should be polite enough to say hello and goodbye, but forcing them to be affectionate is a bit much. if it's someone they want to hug, they'll do it on their own.

[dogfan734]

that is very smart

[2007dodi]

LunaSea97 << I agree with 100% and that's what I am doing with my kids i dont force them to hug or kiss anyone i only say kiss your granmother only.

[LunaSea97]

My 2 year old says hi and bye to people but we've never forced her to kiss or hug someone b/c we didn't want her to to feel like if an adult says to do something like that she was obligated to. This also helps w/ self-esteem b/c she is in control of her own body and feelings and she feels heard and respected so she tends to not act out. At least that's what her doc says...

[Wbeliever7]

hmm good point about how u don't want them to think they do that with any adult that says so. This could def be dangerous

[bitterclementine]

yes, you shouldn't force your children to kiss someone.

when i was a child my mother read a book to me called "kein küsschen auf kommando! (no kiss by command), which taught me that you dont have to kiss people if you dont want to. its a book which is meant to prevent children from sexual abuse.

[mmw21111]

LunaSea97

your absolutely right!!

[AxelleFlame]

@LunaSea97 thats very good. nice parenting technique. effective with the kids i babysit.

[cantabile91]

jo's really gd with e kids n e parents too (: love her!

[Pj0tter]

I'm so glad there are people who actually know how important personal space is. Don't make your kids hug people or even worse kiss people they don't want to. Djeez.

[wuangie99]

Why r these parts all so short?

[Shinoka]

wuangie99: I think it's only showing the major parts of the episodes. Like the dramatic parts or the steps in progression.

[wuangie99]

ok, thank you. I kind of figured it had to be something like that, lol. thanks!

[rachelasl14]

It's sad she needs to teach parents that their children have personal space.

[1FoLC1]

Yes it's sad, but it's better that they are taught if they haven't figure it out yet than if needed, no one does.

[MondoBeno]

Holy shit! My Dad could've used this lesson. He NEVER respects personal space, and it drove me crazy when I was a kid. I would always have to step back because he was too close, and it would make him so mad he'd scream.

[maximumfun1993]

I like the background music from the beginning to 0:46. It sounds a bit like southern rock.
