When someone seems to have a bad attitude for the day

When someone seems to have a “bad attitude.” Keep in mind that you cannot read minds (I'm quite confident of this!).

• You probably can't guess what the person is thinking or what is going on inside them and guessing can get you in trouble.
  
• Even if you are somehow are able to “read minds” and know what the problem is, it is best not to reveal it because, 1) if you are wrong, it can alienate or cause grief or 2) if you are right, it may spook the person.
  
• If you have particularly good intuition, use it to be sensitive and to “allow” conversations to open up the possibility of a youth to reveal their troubles or concern
  
• Do give them some gentle positive attention
  
• Otherwise treat them as if they are normal and everything is ok
