All these mind habits that are worked with the children daily through the different tools for
thought.
It is always important to remember

Respect the learning rhythm of each student
That the teacher´s role can change: From guide to participant, from teacher to investigator, etc.

Suggestions to facilitate the means of communication with the students:
Pay attention to the children´s interests
Locate yourself at their level (e.g. Sit at their table as one more participant and share)
Find out about their previous experiences and take them into account
Make a reflection of the day to day (e.g. what was it that you liked best about this project?)
Use several provocations
Value the anecdotes of the things that happen daily (e.g. Children´s spontaneous conversations)
Celebrate how the children express their thoughts, and answer with excitement and emotion.
