- Why "You're Okay" Is Not Okay: A Discussion of Responses and Reactions Smith, Olynda Montessori Method Teaching Methods Emotional Intelligence Parent Child Relationship Parents as Teachers It is likely everyone has witnessed this scenario: A child takes a minor tumble or drops his snack and begins to get upset. He looks to his parents, who give him a quieting "You're okay" before turning their attention away. The child continues to be upset, and the parent repeats the insistence that she is okay. There are a variety of reasons a parent might tell an upset child, "You're okay": to comfort and reassure, to avoid a meltdown, or to toughen up the child. It may also be that because this saying is so prevalent, parents assume it is a good practice and adopt it with their own children. While the author hears adults using "You're okay" almost everywhere--playgrounds, museums, playdates, the library--the author has not witnessed it in Montessori environments. There are good reasons that most Montessorians do not use this phrase. In this article, the author shares why this little phrase can be so harmful and why the author strongly believes that it is in the best interest of children to avoid using it.
