New Product Alert: The Emotional Piggybank A3 Wipe Clean Poster

The Emotional Piggy Bank poster was designed with positive behaviour in mind. The poster reminds staff how they can invest in children by using various positive techniques during their interactions. The idea behind the poster is that as staff members use the techniques they are filling the child's emotional piggy bank. Filling the child's emotional piggy bank equips the child with the best techniques to handle their own behaviour as they navigate through their early years and onto primary school. These techniques include the following;

• Persistence Coaching
• Tangible Rewards
• Patience
• Specific Praise
• Child-Led Play
• Active Listening
• Label Emotions
• Positive Modelling
• Self Praise
• Fun Factor

The Right Tools A3 Wipe Clean Poster

This poster reminds staff of the tools they may require to do their job to the best of their ability.

These words are a reminder of the tools and techniques they can use as they go about their daily tasks.

• Calm Thoughts
• Deep Breaths
• Be Patient
• Self Praise
• Humour
• Forgive
• Seek Support

The Modelling Cheque Book A3 Wipe Clean Poster

This poster was designed for staff to model reactions that can help to reduce tantrums and encourage positive behaviour. This poster is an excellent way to remind staff of those important key phrases, which include;

• "I think I did a good job"
• "I'm sorry, I could have done that differently"
• "I'm going to try hard to stay calm"
• "Next time, I'll ask for your help"
• "I need some time to calm down"
• "I think I could have done that better"
• "I tried my very best with that"
• "I need your help with this"

All of these posters are now available at The Early Years Shop and can be hung throughout your service so that staff can refer to them easily as and when required. Each poster is priced at €6.00 each but can be bought as a bundle for €16.00 - a savings of €2.00!
