Little One

New Poem.
I found all the words for this one in a handout entitled "K-12 Behavior Management Glossary."


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Little One


Universal
Seeking someone
Parents, grandparents, siblings
Relationships
Closeness
Feeling loved
And wanted by others
Family.

Unwillingness

Life
Expectations
Hope
For validation
Signals
Connections
Emotionally stressful
Hurt feelings.

Depression

Home. School.
“Rude!”
“Disrespectful!”
“Confrontational!”
“Resists authority!”
Destructive Behavior
Warning signs
A cry for help.

Hopelessness

Traumatic change
Disorder. Disturbance.
Cutting. Cocaine.
Expression
No one to recognize.
Seeing no possibility
Of a solution…
Time: Over.
