Some of the best ways to help children recognize their emotions and control their responses is to let them express their emotions freely, offer breathing exercises, let them speak and listen attentively, and helping and supporting them work out their emotions and identify them so they can learn.

I would always start with a warm and welcoming greeting, show them our classrooms, the activities we provide and do with the children, explain what a daily routine in each classroom looks like, point out the exits/entry points, sanitation procedures, bathrooms/toilets, and emergency procedures we have in order to keep all the children safe, healthy, and protected.

I would let the admin know before going any further. Then I would follow up with the parents or guardians of the child(ren) if I am allowed to do so and if they act in any suspicious way or try to avoid the subject, then I would contact CPS. The child(ren)’s safety will always come first and so doing what I believe is the right thing to do is what I will do in order to keep them from harm’s way.
