 Hello, today I want to talk to you about a signal for your children to help them know when you need their attention and when you need them to listen. Often there's times when our children need to interact and discuss and have time to talk with their partners in their table to help them think through a process or complete a project. But there needs to be a way for us to call their attention in a very organized way and for them to know when they have a little bit of time to finish up and then give you their eyes. And there's many ways you can do this. One is just a simple clap and then they repeat that and they know that while they're clapping that they need to be finding you in the room and giving you their eyes and ears. Another thing is a simple tool. I have a little wand and when I ring it, there's a chime that goes on. They know that they have until the end of that last chime to finish what they're doing and then give me their eyes and their ears and be prepared for the next part of our activity. Or it can be a bell, just a very simple bell. Again, this has a chime so when that sound stops they know that's when they need to give me their attention. So find a signal that works for you and start early getting your children used to the idea that when they hear that chime you need their attention.
