[quote=Anonymous]I have multiple children. This kind of stuff happens all of the time at our house (one kid wanting to play a game that another kid doesn’t like). When kids are older I tell them to walk away, but at 3 & 4, the easiest thing to do is to change the game. I always think of them as being kind of stuck on one neural pathway and doing the same thing over and over again. So you just have to activate a different part of their brains (tell a joke, do a magic trick, give a snack, do some jumping jacks, whatever), and then they can move on to play something else. I don’t think you need to have a big conversation about it hours later. A kid wanted to play chase. He thought the game was too aggressive. You left. It’s over. [/quote]
