Initially I was timid to correct bad behavior. Things like, throwing milk cartons in the cafeteria, jumping on furniture. These children aren't mine should I correct them? I noticed that the regular staff rule with an iron fist firm but full of love.
Friday, I caught a little boy scaling the book case in the activity room. Before I even thought about it I ran over and pulled him down. I told him "we don't that here, you could be hurt and that would make me sad". He apologized! Ms. S was observing the whole interaction, she smiled and said "good job". The rest of the day it was easier to reset bad behavior, just like with my own children. As far as my nursing practice, I have never been timid as far as interacting with clients but I will say there is renewed directness because of this experience.
