Step by step
- Wait until everyone is completely calm: never in the heat of the moment, ideally later in the day.
- Set up two stuffed animals, one for each role: “Bear wanted the truck, and Bunny took it.”
- Act out the scene yourself first with the toys, keeping it accurate without blaming anyone. If your child gets defensive, pack it away and try again another day.
- Have your child play Bear, THEN Bunny: experiencing both sides of the argument is the heart of the game.
- “How is Bear feeling right now? What about Bunny?” Name the emotions without judging.
- Come up with two or three different endings together and act them out. Wrap up gently: “Shall we try it like Bear next time?”
