Student-led equine program supporting neurodiverse children in Shanghai
RDA Diary entry 10. 3/16
I recently became aware that sometimes the children do things that seem strange or unsafe. For example, earlier today, Xuan wanted to play with me and she puts a hula hoop around my neck and pulled me back. I nearly fell on the ground, which was dangerous. I told her not to do that because it would hurt me and gave her another toy to distract her. My classmates reflected afterward and realized we must think about why the children behave that way and how to respond with patience. I was proud to see them improve.
