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.
That was such an awesome way to deal with it!
