So you are probably wondering… what magical power does water has?
Well, not only does it hydrate and cool our bodies down in warm weather, but it can also be a peace offering. You’re probably wondering how. Well, let me explain. When heading to an appointment or entering an office building for a meeting, there is usually an offer of coffee, tea, or water. Right? The purpose is to help one feel at ease and release tension or anxiety.
The key is to buy the small 8oz bottles of water and have a few sitting on the table or chilled in a nearby refrigerator. If you want to take it a step further, print positive statements and tape them to each water bottle. Not only will it set the tone that this is a positive space, but it will help establish a positive working relationship between parents, families, administration, and clinical professionals.
Try it and let me know how it goes!
