Body Language

I am the teacher who hangs out with the kids who are punished during recess and have to sit against the fence while everyone else gets to play.

Let's analyze my students body language for a minute, shall we?  The girl on the left is cross and pouty, while the girl on the right is like, "Oh yea, I am a bad girl and I know it. And I am proud of it too," throwing up the peace sign with her tongue sticking out.

 You know how they say, "glass half empty, glass half full."  The child on the left's glass is half empty.  The child on the right's glass is half full.   You know how I know this?  The girl on the right owns her behavior and makes the best out of the situation, while the other one sits in resentment.

Even little children can show adults life lessons if we choose to pay close enough attention.
