October 20, 2022January 23, 2024

Sketchnote titled, "Engaging pre-teen humans." On the left side of the image, there is a drawing of a hand with text that says, "Give it time. Patience proves. Underneath is a drawing of a comic with text that reads, "Invite kids to write a graphic novel of their experience and then read it together." In the top middle of the image are drawings of three faces: sad, ambivalent, and happy. The text reads, "Engage ambivalence. Apathy is empowering for a kid woh feels controlled or out of control." Underneath this is a drawing of a person with a magnifying glass looking at an orange bug with text that says, "Look for where they are an expert and let them teach you." Under this is text that reads, "Help kids understand why. (Kids are often really distressed by their own behavior.)" The word "why" is written in orange text, highlighted by black. In the top right corner of the image is a drawing of a person with orange hair, covering their mouth with their hand. The text next to this reads, "Don't bullshit. Kids know. You will get caught." Under this is text that says, "Validate (authentically). Don't fake it." There is a speech bubble drawn next to this text that reads, "Of course you feel..." In the bottom right corner of the image is text that reads, "Don't try to stop problem behaviors. Build a toolbox of better resources. Look for the unmet need." The word "stop" is written on an orange stop sign.
