I have heard the word inappropriate from teachers, students, grand children, etc... When my 5 year old grand daughter said to her sister that is inappropriate, I asked her if she knew what it meant. My grand daughter at first said no and then changed her answer to being bad, really bad. Then she informed me that her sister was inappropriate a lot, cause she is bad. Lol I am sure I thought my siblings were inappropriate as well!!! :)
I let my grand daughters know that inappropriate sometimes means naughty (I like this word instead of bad!) and sometimes doesn't. I used the teaching method of example, example, example - non example - example, example (I taught special ed. so I had to use a lot of examples!!! They had a hard time with abstract ideas!!!) I think we will have to have quite a few lessons on what appropriate means. (Sometimes I think I miss teaching and then I remember the nightmare of all the ridiculousness of politics and lack of support and could leap for joy that I am not still in that mess anymore!!!) I don't have to miss teaching because I am teaching and learning everyday of my life... and sometimes I remember to use my teaching tools!!! There were things that I loved about teaching in the schools... There were reasons why I loved living in Park Valley... I had very good friends in Park Valley and at first thought I needed to stay there... There are many examples in my life of loving and not always recognizing when a change or lesson needs to happen... Then I realized that the best thing for my family wasn't always what I thought it should be... needs and life lessons change... We need to trust the Lord to get us through...
