30

can he help them finish their kimchi? Because it's too spicy.

ื”ื•ื ื”ื™ื” ืžื’ืœื’ืœ ืขื™ื ื™ื

As a novice teacher,
40

ื›ืžื•ืจื” ืžืชื—ื™ืœื”,
01:48
I spent a lot of time observing
41
108590
1540
ืฆืคื™ืชื™ ืฉืขื•ืช ืจื‘ื•ืช
01:50
how more experienced teachers interacted with their students.

ื•ืฉืžืชื™ ืœื‘ ืœืžืฉื”ื• ืžืื“ ืžืฉื•ื ื”.
01:55
Oftentimes when kids fall,
44
115740
1771
ื›ืฉื™ืœื“ื™ื ืžื•ืขื“ื™ื,
01:57
they don't start crying immediately.

01:59
They would stand up, puzzled,
46
119584
1959
ื”ื ืงืžื™ื, ืžื‘ื•ืœื‘ืœื™ื,
02:01
as if trying to make up their mind --
47
121567
1835
ื›ืื™ืœื• ืžื ืกื™ื ืœื”ื‘ื™ืŸ --
02:03
you know, "What just happened?"
48
123426
1477
"ืžื” ื–ื” ื”ื™ื”?"
02:04
"Is this a big enough deal for me to cry?

"ื”ืื ื–ื” ืžืกืคื™ืง ืจืฆื™ื ื™ ื›ื“ื™ ืฉืื‘ื›ื”?

Does this hurt? What's going on?"

126962
2319
"ื–ื” ื›ื•ืื‘? ืžื” ืงื•ืจื” ืคื”?"
02:09
Usually kids will be OK until they lock eyes with an adult:
51
129305
3655
ื‘ื“ืจืš ื›ืœืœ ื”ื ื‘ืกื“ืจ, ืขื“ ืฉืขื™ื ื™ื”ื ื ืคื’ืฉื•ืช ื‘ืขื™ื ื™ื• ืฉืœ ืžื‘ื•ื’ืจ ืื—ืจืื™:
02:12
one that they trust and know can do something for them.

ืžื™ืฉื”ื• ืฉื”ื ืกื•ืžื›ื™ื ืขืœื™ื• ืœืขื–ื•ืจ ืœื”ื.
02:16
Eyes lock, and then, they burst out in tears.
53

ืขื™ื ื™ื™ื ื ืคื’ืฉื•ืช, ื•ืื–, ื”ื ืคื•ืจืฆื™ื ื‘ื‘ื›ื™.
02:19
When I noticed this, I so wanted it to happen to me,
