The other day Ojas was having a tantrum. He wanted Tejas and their friend R to play cricket and allow him to bat throughout. And that is a tall order but in all fairness the two did not let him bat the previous day so he wanted a compensation.
While Ojas may be right, but one cannot force the others to comply so I did a demo for them.
I told R & Tejas to do a role play.
I prompted R on what he should speak and Tejas was allowed to freely react to what R was saying.
Act 1
R- Can we play cricket
Tejas- Yes
R- (shouts)- I want to bat only.
Tejas- shouts back- No, i want to bat
Act 2
R- Can we play cricket
Tejas- Yes
R- politely- Will you let me bat please
Tejas- Yes
This simple exercise helped Ojas understand how to deal with the situation. And also that only he is responsible for how the other person behaves with him.
