How Did He Do?

Pretty good discipline job by Dad. Perhaps he should have counted a little bit sooner instead of growling “Knock it off!” Should Dad have counted John for smashing his tank or bad-mouthing his sister? Some parents would count these behaviors, but others wouldn’t because the tank was John’s (and it can be rebuilt). John may also be doing the right thing by leaving the situation.

Round Two

Second chance: let’s give Dad another chance to improve his parenting technique.

“Brittany, I need another wheel for my tank,” says John.

“No, John, I’ve got it on my wagon,” Brittany says.

(Dad squirms in his chair. It’s fourth-and-goal for the good guys.)

“Lemme just use one wheel now. I’ll give it back to you later,” suggests Brother.

“No, my wagon needs four wheels,” replies Sister.

“Your wagon looks stupid!”

“Kids, that’s 1 for both of you.”

(Dad’s team had to try for a field goal and it was blocked. Dad is not pleased.)

“She doesn’t need to hog all the wheels. There aren’t enough for me to make what I want, and they’re my Legos.”

“But I made this first!”

“OK, kids, that’s 2.”
