Sometimes we get weird vibes--those vibes alert us to take notice and ponder what may be different, unexpected, or even dangerous about a situation. These vibes are caused by situations that don't present as expected. As an educator, our school community taught children to trust their feelings. I follow that lesson myself, and when I get weird vibes I do what's needed to stay safe and not upset the situation further. Later on, I assess the weird vibes trying to understand why I experienced that and what was going on.
