Teach kids not to jump to conclusions
by Michael Grose
Many children jump to conclusions when an unpleasant situation occurs, thinking and acting impulsively rather than thinking rationally before reacting (this is not just the domain of kids, by the way!). While these snap judgements may be justified, in reality they are the least likely to be the right ones.
For example, imagine a boy walking across a schoolyard when he’s hit in the face by a football. He automatically thinks someone is trying to hurt him, basing his conclusion on the fact that he has been on the receiving end of some rough treatment in the past. He is angry and starts a fight with the boy who kicked the ball, with both of them ending up in trouble.
