Respect is crucial when working with the MISP principles
of respect should be expressed at many levels.
Children should be respected when learning the routine and allowed
to learn at their own pace. There is no rush!
Each child has the right to say no to a massage. The child not wanting
a massage is asked to sit still while the others are massaging.
The child should be able to see the other children during the massage.
Children are encouraged to express their preferences regarding the
strokes. They can say what they like and dislike, how much pressure
and at what pace the massage is done.
The child giving the massage may ask the other child if what they
are doing is suitable and if they are enjoying it.
Children are required to ask permission before beginning the massage
routine. They should also ask permission before any touch activity
that is brought in during the day.
The children who gave the massage are required to say “thank
you” to the child who received the massage.
