Staff Member Statement	Your Reflective Listening Response	How will you follow up to further support this staff member?
An infant caregiver says, “Oh you’re such a strong and handsome boy—they’ll have to chase the girls away from you.”
A toddler caregiver says, “No Angelica, only boys can be daddies.”
A preschool staff member says, “No, no Joseph, you have to pee standing up!”
A preschool teacher says, “Sasha, Your leggings got all muddy when you jumped in that puddle. Next time, try to act more like a lady and walk around the puddle.”
A school-age staff member says, “Be a tough boy, don’t cry.”
A school-age staff member says, “But the other kids laugh when she gets dropped off and her mom says, ‘Bye Jose, see you after school.’ And then they all giggle when I say ‘he’ (Jose) wants to be referee this time. I mean, can’t we just keep calling her Julia?”
You overhear some staff members talking with one another about 11-year-old Michael, “I don’t know why Mike is always hanging out with the girls—can’t he find some guys to be friends with? What is he, gay or something?”
