Explain sandwiching and how it can be used in a parent/teacher conference.
Addressing negative behaviors in other people’s children is tricky. The sandwich technique is a very subtle and polite way of saying "no". The way in which we express a disagreement or a negative one is crucial, both for us to be satisfied, and for the other person to receive a correct treatment. Every time I say "yes" when I really do not feel like it, I’m weakening my emotional state. So for me the best is always try to keep actions in line with thoughts.
