Is getting worked up, I’ll give him a task that requires concentration, such as finding four things in the room that are blue. Spills something, I’ll let him clean it up without scolding him. Is with me, I’ll put my own worries aside and make the most of our time together. Is sad or angry, I’ll ask him what’s bothering him. Has an argument with one of his friends, I’ll explain to him that words can hurt. Is worked up, I’ll tell him to take a deep breath and then blow on his finger as if it were a candle. Has a good day or makes an effort to be better behaved, I’ll praise him. Is scared, I’ll remind him of situations where he isn’t afraid and of times when he managed to overcome his fears. Tells me he has nothing to do, I’ll let him get bored so that he eventually invents his own game. Wants to climb a rock, roll around in the grass, or jump over a giant puddle, I won’t try to stop him.
