My co-teacher and I tried to explain to Kid 1 why she should stay away from Kid 2, as whenever she goes near Kid 2, trouble brews.
Me: “We don’t understand why you keep making the choice to put yourself in a situation that is CLEARLY not good for you.”
Co-teacher: “It’s like saying ‘Hey, that looks like a mean dog, why don’t I go put my hand in its mouth!'”
Me: “Or ‘Oh! Here’s some fire! Let me just go play with it!”
Co-teacher: “Or hey, there’s a shark over there! Let me go swim with it!”
Kid 3 (not involved in the problem but standing there and listening): “Oh! I have one! ‘Hey! Let me eat these endangered species’ eggs!'”
